The Minnesota Timberwolves 13th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, Zach LaVine, was often known for his high-flying dunks but little do some people know he really began to develop a smooth jump shot in the 2016-17 campaign.
This was by far LaVine’s best season in the NBA.
His minutes per game were upped from 28.0 in 2015, to 37.1 in the first year under Thibodeau. He also had a huge jump in points. He went from 14.0 points per game to 18.9 in 2016-17.
With Tom Thibodeau at the helm, the starters got plenty of minutes.
