41 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks for Zach LaVine tonight. It will be quite a season as we watch LaVine, Buddy Hield, Jamal Murray, John Collins and Josh Richardson while at the same time watching Jimmy "I play when I want to play" Butler, along with Gorgui, Wiggins and Patton. Whoops, can't watch Patton play. Meanwhile, the mastermind behind all this is still employed by the patient idiot savant Glen Taylor. At least we have Okogie.
I'm trying to not be that guy but the bulls have a better plus minus when lavine is off the court and it's not like he has a stud replacement. That is the 5th straight year that the team has been better when he is off the court.
Teams are out scoring them 10 pts per 100 possessions even zach is on the court and his most played lineup is literally the worst lineup in the NBA for lineups that qualify. Getting outscored by 24 pts per 100 possessions.
Don't get me wrong I love zach but he is turning out to be a Jamal Crawford on steroids

That's going to change. 41 points, 3 steals, 4 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks isn't Jamal Crawford. LaVine is a better 3-point shooter, faster with the ball and a much better athlete. The plus/minus is a bad stat to evaluate LaVine given the quality of the teams he's played on as well as his age and the period during which he was recovering from ACL surgery. We'll see how he and his team progresses in the next few years. You might turn out to be right, but I think you'll end up being wrong on this one.

Take a closer look at who he's playing with. Watch one of his games also, still has plenty faults on defense but his offense game has matured outside of putting up ton of points efficiently.
It's not like he's going 1 on 5 throwing of terrible shots. He's handles and creating for other, driving to the hoop, getting fouled, scoring at the rim, on the break, and from the 3. He's a beast on offense.

I understand that but the stats are still saying that the bulls get better when he is off the court. That has happened every year of his career. I love zach, it's just worry some how bad the teams he has been on get on D when he is in the game. Now he is becoming such a good offensive player it might offset that.
