Zach LaVine’s decision making has improved as his career has progressed into All-Star territory, and making the right reads in coach Billy Donovan’s tweaked offensive system will be paramount.
“What’s different is probably less holding the ball,” LaVine said. “From what I’ve seen, we’re still going to be able to get our isolation touches. But it’s a lot more read and react, quick decision-making.
“For Zach, you’ve got to look that it’s always been about the team,” Donovan said. “My first year here---and just calling it like it was---he was the only guy who could really make a play at the end of the game off the dribble. We just didn’t have breakdown guards. Thad was great when we played him in the pocket or elbow and guys could cut and move around him. But that was the only two sources of offense getting generated.
“Where he exactly gets his shots is going to depend on if there’s penetration, how well does he relocate to open areas? How well does he get out in transition? The more the ball moves, the less those guys play in a crowd,” Donovan said. “It’s him reading and reacting. It’s him taking his shots when he’s got them. It’s him taking his drives when he’s got them. It’s about making quick decisions and being decisive.
LaVine averaged 3.3 turnovers in just under 22 minutes over 2 ½ preseason games. That average rivaled the averages LaVine posted---in over 12 more minutes per game---as he carried the Bulls through the lean years of a rebuilding process.
