Quin Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 LaVine trying to miss a FT, it bouncing in off the back board and rim, then going in is a good summary of his shooting right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The last two games have both been fun. Though we lost dunn two nights ago and maybe lost portis tonight. The Hutchinson dunk was vicious. I missed good chunk of game but the last 5 minutes were fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 LaVine reminds me a tad of prime Rose when he goes to the hoop. Smooth and finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, that is the biggest problem for pretty much any project play the Bulls have. There is a decent amount of talent, but like Derrick Rose, it doesn't matter if they aren't on the hardwood.

I think he clearly has the offensive talent to keep up a pretty high-level scoring production. The key to me is that he can stay healthy. He is a fantastic shooter and an electric athlete who has enhanced his ability to finish at the bucket (presume he got a bit stronger and obviously had a full off-season to focus on his game). There is zero reason he can't be a highly efficient and effective scorer with his ability to slash into the basket...but if you give him too much space to cut his ability to drive, the guy is a pure shooter as well. He'll never be a great defender but to me offensively its a matter of staying within his game and being smart and efficient about it. The dude has so much offensive talent and capabilities. I'm sure he won't keep his torrid pace up (its been absurdly efficient) but the game is there. I sure hope none of this is foolsgold (when it comes to Lavine's production).

bmags Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I still love WCJ, however, do you know how through the roof excited I would be if the Bulls had Lavine, Lauri, and traded up for Doncic? All three have ability to run an offensive unit so you could stagger lineups to improve defense. Had the Hutchinson pick + top 5 next year pick done it, I would not be missing a 6-whatever next year pick at all. That lineup would be incredibly attractive to future FAs. Anyway, in the actual set-up whether the bulls succeed with this group is incredibly focused on health. I wish the bulls put more emphasis on that as an organization.

Soxbadger Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The only concern I have about WCJ is that he is too tentative on offense right now. I hope that its just hes young, but I really want to see them start setting him up for some easy dunks etc to get his offensive confidence up.

BigHurt3515 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I didn't watch the whole game last night but from what I saw from Wendall is a young player who is just pressing too much. He has the talent and once he settles down and has a good game he will be just fine after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I kinda see it differently. He works his butt off making the offense work for everyone else, and then when he gets the ball everyone just stops moving and expects him to work a post move. He needs more variety of touches. His motor is great. I'm not worried at all. He'd probably be better served running some time with Arcidiacano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I can't get into this stuff until i have an idea of actual placement in lotto. Season is too long and it just doesn't feel like we'll be at good odds at all. I think bulls still could be something like 8-9 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't his talent that made me question if the trade would work out, it was the injury. Like Butler, Zach has gotten better each full (sans last year), healthy year he has played.

Zion can jump and dunk but haven't seen enough of him to know if he can shoot or defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they need to bring in a consultant or something and do something a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
