Zach LaVine's scoring start is one of the positives from an injury-marred and winless start to an otherwise forgettable season to date.
After spending a summer working out rather than rehabilitating, LaVine has put questions to rest that stemmed from his uneven return last season after left ACL surgery. LaVine has joined Bob Love and Michael Jordan as the only Bulls to open a season with three 30-point games.
Overall, LaVine is averaging 32.3 points on 61.8 percent shooting, including 45 percent from 3-point range. Several of LaVine's shots have been of the high difficulty variety.
"I feel in a good rhythm," LaVine said. "In Minnesota, I felt good at times. But obviously, I was the third option. So you had to give a little bit, take a little bit. Here, you have to appreciate the opportunity and perform.
"But I would get rid of all that just to get three wins. I haven't won anything before. I don't want to go home early anymore. That sucks. That's what we're trying to get to _ learning to win."
