Zach Lavine's rise to greatness

it's possible to put up empty stats, right?

(that's my point with Jefferson. If you score 20 but are a sieve on the defensive end, are you a star? If your team can't win 30 games, are you a star?)

He already averaged that for the last month of the season, and every other game he got starter minutes.

I'm not breaking ground here. He's already shown he can do it. And he did it at a very young 20 years old. This isnt rocket science. I'm just battling morons who have a bias against him and foolishly think he's just a dunker.

All anyone had to do is watch him last year and look at the box score. Hell, he went off on us. How this is hard to see is a mystery to me.
 
Ya but I think if lavine puts those numbers up, in combination with his flashy style, he will be considered a star by almost everyone.

And I think that young al jefferson was thought of as an up coming star.

I remember jazz fans getting very excited by a d-will big al pairing

I with ya. I think he will be very good. I like him.
And his dunk contest win was one of the best I have seen.
 
He shows a lot of signs of empty-stating.

He needs major improvement on defense.

I'm uncomfortable calling someone a "star" when their teams don't win.

He's only 20 years old fool. We are projecting. But I'm sure you are gonna be back tracking real soon here. I can feel it.

His whole team is young. I don't think the Wolves are a good organization by any stretch, but they now have enough young talent that it's going to be real hard for them not to be good. So in a couple years, they will be winning a lot of games, and Zach Lavine will be a big part of the success because he's going to be really good. He's already really good.

The Wolves not winning a lot of games this year, will have nothing to do with how good Lavine is going to be
 
He's a really terrible defender. I see him as Harold Miner 2.0 Pretty flashy and looks like he might be a real good player but he'll go nowhere. Don't see him being a player who helps his team to win.
 
LaVine seems like a complete dumbass.

Maybe someday he'll be as good as swaggy P

I detest this argument.
Mgmt, coaching, roster... All things a player doesn't choose.
I don't give a **** about Lavine, fwiw, but I hate our measuring stick.

He's so gonna ball.

He's getting the starting job because they can see how good he is in training camp. He's tearing it up.

Making fun of NAOS is going to happen a lot sooner than he would like.

can't wait for him to empty-stat his way through a season where his team wins approximately 25 games. GUNNA BE EPIC BROUGHS!
