Zach LaVine has been among the NBA's most elite this season

You sometimes wonder what Stephen Curry thinks about when he plays against the best shooter in the NBA. You know, when he plays against Zach LaVine.

Earlier this season, veteran guard Garrett Temple was saying that LaVine is a "budding superstar" in the NBA.

Could he be blooming?

LaVine following Wednesday's 46-point sensation in the victory over the New Orleans Pelicans is fifth in the NBA in scoring at 28.1 per game. Less quietly, though we get to see it regularly, is the ease, assurance and accuracy in which LaVine shoots the ball.

Lauri finishes and one

And that for a team still below .
