Hello, Box Score Man here. I look at all the box scores across the league so you don’t have to. These are the ballers that stood out in my perusal of last night’s games.
Remember when Tom Thibodeau traded Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen on draft day for Jimmy Butler and Justin Patton, and the deal seemed like the best move ever before all things went to hell? Well, Lauri scored 35 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in the Bulls first game. His usage rate was 33.
