One of the brightest rising stars in the Eastern Conference this season is the Chicago Bulls’ 26-year-old shooting guard Zach LaVine. The former UCLA Bruin got his first-career All-Star nod this year, which could’ve easily come his way last year when the All-Star Weekend festivities were hosted at the home of the Bulls, at the United Center in Chicago.
First-year executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley are now trying to build their roster around the star duo of big man Nikola Vucevic and LaVine.
