So how good are Zach LaVine and Kris Dunn? Pretty good for now, though the Bulls are hoping for omnipotence. You know, "Oh my, guard!"
Shooting guard LaVine is among the leading scorers in the NBA at 23.6 points per game and Dunn is averaging 13.9 points and 6.9 assists, but 15.3 points and 9.3 assists this month, trying to make his case as an elite two-way point guard.
But can they measure up against the best?
That's why this five-game road trip starting Wednesday in Portland may be a valuable gauge of the Bulls young backcourt.
