In a loss to the Bucks punctuated by fresh injuries, the Sacramento Kings welcomed Zach LaVine back to the floor. Considering how long he was out injured, his gameplay was perfectly fine. At the same time, his performance wasn't really better than that, which is not what the Kings need from him.

LaVine is an elite shooter, which works well when you put him on the court to do exactly that. It's what he's known for in the NBA. What he isn't really known for is being a playmaker, and he definitely isn't known for his defensive play.
