Thad Young was there when Zach LaVine had his first NBA point as a rookie.
The two were teammates in Minnesota back in that 2014-15 season.
Now they’re Bulls teammates, and it would mean even more for Young to be there when LaVine is named a first-time All-Star.
“I mean, Zach has been amazing all season long,’’ Young said. “The list goes on of how many things he does for this team. He’s definitely an All-Star. He’s playing at a super-high level.
“I love Zach to death, he was my rookie in Minnesota. I know that he’s capable of whatever he puts his mind to and he’s going to come to work each and every day.
