You were also the first dude to bring up Zach LaVine
LaVine is one of my favorites to watch I didnt see the last loss for UCLA vs Oregon St. but his boxscore was dreadful, worst of the season
last 3 games are 1-5, 1-5 and 1-7 for a combined 11points in 70 minutes
however i have been keeping a close eye on him and im convinced he is being misused, any hardcore UCLA fan will probably tell you the same. LaVine comes off the bench with the coaches son, who has the ball in his hands wayyy too much
its a bit of an Alec Burks situation except LaVine gets plenty of minutes(3rd most on the team)the biggest issue is that UCLA doesn't use their best lineup which is LaVine, Jordan Adams, Kyle Anderson and the Wear Twins... instead Alford has some sort of hockey substitution thing going
regardless of lineups LaVine should have the ball in his hands more, his handle isnt the greatest but hes very quick and can break down the defense and make the right pass, his 1st step is lightning quick and hes got some nice crossovers, he had a really nice game vs Stanford with 6 assists, his AST/TO ratio is better than a few of the PG's i just listed
