Zach LaVine remains in basketball hell.
That’s often where the best player on a bad team resides.
Good enough to put up numbers that at least make him an All-Star snub, but not given the full credit of what he does on a nightly basis because it’s perceived empty calories in the win-loss column.
Imagine what LaVine would be as a third option on a team like the Los Angeles Lakers or the Milwaukee Bucks. Or picture him with Dallas, working alongside Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis.
LaVine would be the perfect stagger-minutes player in all those scenarios, still able to put up 20-22 points a game, while learning the meaning of winning basketball.
