The praise for guard Zach LaVine’s talent remains high.
His talent ceiling, however, has been up for debate for a few seasons.
But not from within the Bulls’ locker room, where the feeling is LaVine isn’t close to topping out. Actually, he’s only scratching the surface of what kind of player he can become. The 111-108 win over the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, might have been Exhibit A in that argument.
Down 20 in the first quarter and looking like dead team walking, LaVine was nibbling with assists, keeping the Bulls barely afloat and seemingly buying his time.
