15. Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls

These Chicago Bulls jerseys are underrated. So is Zach LaVine. Another guy playing while recovering from serious injuries, still an awesome player.

LaVine is trying to prove the Timberwolves were wrong by letting him go, not sure if that will happen though.

He’s an awesome player with a ton of offensive talent, but there should be something pointed out about how confusing it is to have a efficient back-court when you have a shooting guard playing point guard.

I know that’s today’s NBA, and I understand that LaVine isn’t playing point guard for the Bulls, but he tends to fall into that position late in games over his career.

It doesn’t work all the time.

This is an odd comp, but I would love to see a transition to a Manu Ginobli type player that comes off the bench and brings life to the court.

I believe around the right organization, LaVine could easily be transitioned into that role.

Although, LaVine could easily turn out like a Dion Waiters type player, which is still a lot of fun. (Zach LaVine island).
