NBA: Nikola Vucevic and 5 other worthy potential first-time All-Stars

Zach Lavine, Chicago Bulls

When the Minnesota Timberwolves traded for Jimmy Butler just prior to the 2017-18 season it was collectively thought that the Chicago Bulls got robbed. Things only seemed worse for the Bulls when Zach LaVine went down with a torn ACL.

Now Lavine is back and better than ever before as the number one guy for a young Chicago team averaging 23 points 4.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists. The Bulls are finally getting what they traded for and Lavine is getting the chance to make himself known in the East.

Granted there are still many stars in the east that are deemed more worthy of an All-Star appearance than Lavine, but that doesn’t stray away from the fact that he is a perfect example of a rising young stud who with the continued right nurturing and training will become an All-Star in the very near future if not this season.
