Zach Lavine Believes He Will Become An All-Star

Not too long ago, Vendetta colleague Jackson Law, predicted that Zach LaVine was poised for a breakout season. Well, it turns out that LaVine himself agrees. The Bulls guard believes that the upcoming season is going to be a big one. He believes the Bulls will win a lot more and he will become an All-Star.

“Everything comes with winning. I feel like if we win and we’re in the right positions, the sky is the limit for me,” LaVine told ESPN following Thursday’s practice. “I had an All-Star-caliber year last year, but we had 22 wins so it got a little bit swept under the rug. But that’s how it’s supposed to be when you have 20 wins. But if I continue to play the way I’m supposed to, there’s no reason I shouldn’t be an All-Star or All-NBA type guy.”

Zach LaVine is more than just a dunker. He’s a really good player too. LaVine, 24, averaged career highs of 23.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists with 46.7 percent shooting during the 2018-19 season. While LaVine has become a really good offensive player. He’s a turnstile on the defensive end. In fairness, the whole Bulls team was last year. They were the 6th worst defensive rating a year ago. If LaVine can improve on that end, he very well could be an All-Star, unless you’re the kind of person that doesn’t care about defense. Couldn’t be me.

Pinstripes in The Windy City

The Bulls are an interesting team. What do we make of Jim Boylen over a full year? Can Coby White be the point god of the future? Can Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter take another leap? The Chicago Bulls may be a contender to sneak into the playoffs as crazy as that sounds. The bottom of the East is any man’s race.
