When the Chicago Bulls signed Zach LaVine to a 4-year, $78 million contract last summer, what did they have in mind for him? Obviously, they thought LaVine was worth the money and long-term commitment, but how do they view his role on the team going forward?
Before the most recent game against Minnesota, LaVine had missed the previous 5 games due to an ankle injury. In his first game back, LaVine came off the bench – something he hadn’t done all season long. According to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, Coach Boylen says this is his standard procedure for players that miss time due to injury.
