It's time to call the Bulls
Zach LaVineSteve Kerr
Summarizing the stereotypes   Zach LaVine  was a risk  coming off surgery to repair  his  left ACL. Kris Dunn was a bust  a broken-down shell of a former lottery pick. And Lauri Markkanen was an unknown  a soft European headed the way of Andrea Bargnani.
“ Zach  is going to be terrific ” Thibodeau said in an interview last July at the Vegas Summer League. “ He ’s a great worker.  He  puts a lot into it.  He  has made great strides each year. And  he ’ll continue to because of the way  he  approaches things.
 LaVine  made  his  debut Saturday — albeit on a 20-minute limit — look about as effortless as one could after an 11-month layoff. That’s testament not only to  LaVine ’s work ethic and skill but  his  athleticism.
“ He  gives you the ability at the end of the shot clock when you don't have anything to just rise up and freeze a defender and make a shot with a high degree of difficulty ” coach Fred Hoiberg said. “That's a skill  obviously  that you have to have at this level. Zach  at times  makes the game look very easy.”
