After Sam Mitchell moved LaVine from the starting shooting guard role to the bench before the season started, it took him a few games to find a rhythm with the second unit. However, he has progressively found the rhythm as the season has gone on, and now he is the third-leading scorer for the Wolves. On top of that, he’s only playing roughly 25 minutes per game.
LaVine has proven he can thrive in a starting role as well. In the six games he’s started this season he has averaged 20 points per contest. The dilemma with LaVine is that he should not be playing the point guard, and he has proven much more effective at the shooting guard position.
