We are four games into the season and although the Bulls are 1-3, one can’t help but notice how dominant Zach LaVine has been in each game thus far.
He’s scored at least 30 points in every game, the first Bulls player to start a season with 4 straight 30 point games since MJ.

4 Zach LaVine (2018-19 – active)
3 Bob Love (1971-72)— Christopher Kamka (@ckamka) October 25, 2018
It’s not just the quantity of points he’s scoring, but the quality. He’s been extremely efficient, currently shooting 57.1% from the field despite a high difficulty level on a large number of his shots. Plus he’s had several authoritative dunks.

With Lauri Markkanen, Kris Dunn and now Bobby Portis sidelined with injuries, there are very few reasons to watch the Bulls right now. Let’s hope that LaVine can continue this streak tonight against Charlotte.
