The Case for Zach LaVine

Here's a hypothetical situation for September of next season: the Wolves end up with Karl-Anthony Towns in the draft, the ideal situation in the eyes of many both on and off these pages. Next, a team comes in with a deal the Wolves like the look of for Kevin Martin, and Flip pulls the trigger. The deal does not include a replacement at shooting guard. This makes the starting line-up on opening day next year look like this:

PG: Ricky Rubio

SG: Zach LaVine

SF: Andrew Wiggins

PF: Karl-Anthony Towns

C: Nikola Pekovic

Yep, that's Zach LaVine starting at the 2.
