Chicago Bulls: Hot Takes on Upcoming Season Part 2

Who will make it from the Chicago Bulls?

I think that Zach will have more eye popping stats, especially if he is given more ball handling responsibility, improving his assist numbers, making his game more well rounded. Lauri, as well, entering his third year, will hopefully continue his improvement and potentially be a 20-plus points per game scorer.

I do believe that LaVine will ultimately make the team as a reserve. There isn’t too much competition after the four or five guards I listed above in the Eastern Conference except for Kyle Lowry and maybe either Trae Young or Malcolm Brogdon.

In Lauri’s case, I don’t think that this year is his. There is a lot more competition for forwards and I don’t think that he will ultimately make it. I think that Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris, Pascal Siakam, John Collins, Julius Randle, Kevin Love, Jayson Tatum and Vucevic all have the same or better cases to make the team than Markkanen.

Prediction: Zach LaVine will make the 2020 All Star team.
