And he's just getting his sea legs back....dude has ELITE athleticism and size for a PG and is already showing off why he was a top 5 pick with his new team/added opportunity.
He will be shitting all over Hair guy in short order @elartman1973 if he isn't ALREADY, he is so much stronger AND quicker than Paytbum it's frightening, he's got like 25 pounds of lean, quick twitch muscle on Paytbums lump shit, and is already TWICE the defender. Fact.
All signs point to LaVine picking up right where he left off as well, once back up to speed....reports are that he has lost NOTHING athletically from the injury, in fact he has INCREASED his vertical...unlike Derrick The Delicate....he will be back better than ever because he WANT'S to.
So we have a:
A 23 year old 6'4" 210 pound defensive dynamo with great athleticism and plenty of untapped offensive upside at PG....Paired with a 22 year old 6'5" Combo guard/wingman with freakish athleticism who has gotten better every year.
LaVine per 36 last 2 seasons (at the ages of 20-21 mind you):
18+ points on 46% FG.....81% FT
2+ triples a game at a HEFTY 39%
3.5 boards
3.5 assists
and a steal
Then you add in Lauri "The Finisher" Markkanen...all of 20 years old...an athletic 7 foot sharpshooter that can put in the floor and take it to the rack as well.
17+/9/2/1/1 per 36 basically....on 36% from deep and 83% from the line as a 20 YO rookie.
That trade is looking better and better as time goes by son...hated losing Jimmuh....but a trio of:
Dunn
LaVine
Markkanen
+ a possible #1 overall pick next season(likely top 3 at worst)....with a LOT of $$$ to spend
Bulls future starting NEXT year >>> The Tragics....and it's not particularly close.
lol @ the 5 year plan finna get lapped in a span of about 16 months give or take...Classic.
Lakers and Bulls showing why they have hardware in their trophy cases...and the Magics, well....don't even need a trophy case...lol
Get mad...
