There were a few seasons on the resume in which Zach LaVine had a legitimate argument on being an All-Star Team snub.
This time around, however, wasn’t one of those for the Bulls guard.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday for the first time since the NBA announced the All-Star reserves on Thursday, LaVine knew early on this season that he wasn’t running a good enough campaign to be mentioned.
After all, he was coming off a left knee clean-up surgery and was dealing with a load management schedule right out of the gate.
“I didn’t feel like I played at an All-Star level at the beginning of the season,’’ LaVine said.
