Week 7 Basketball Risers and Fallers: Zach LaVine moves into fantasy star territory

While further growth was expected from LaVine this season, he’s taken his game to another level, as he’s ranked as a top-15 fantasy player in 9-cat leagues (and top-10 in 8-cat). LaVine’s Usage Rate (29%) is actually a little lower than the last couple of seasons, but he’s still posting career-highs in True Shooting% (65.4), Rebound Rate and PER. To get an idea of just how dominant LaVine has been lately, he checks in as the No. 7 fantasy player in 9-cat leagues over the last week despite averaging a whopping 6.0 turnovers per game (it helps the Bulls are running the league’s second-fastest Pace).
