Coming off of an ACL tear in 2016-17, Zach LaVine returned in the back half of 2017-18, playing just 24 games. In his first full season with the Chicago Bulls, LaVine’s scoring prowess, has been impressive. And in the weak Eastern Conference, LaVine making the All-Star team isn’t the craziest thing in the world.
Averaging 23.9 PTS on 45% from the field, LaVine has led the Bulls in scoring all year, leading them to the few wins that they have thus far. LaVine is sitting at 13th in the league in scoring. Only five of the players ahead of him are in the East.
