The Chicago Bulls after signing Jabari Parker in the offseason, looked like a very youthful lineup with really high potential, but injuries to Kris Dunn, Bobby Portis and Lauri Markannen, compounded with a slow start of their rookie Wendell CarterJr., hampered their plans a little.

But then, Zach Lavine decided to take matters into his own hands. His last two injury laden seasons had only given us a glimpse of his athleticism and how good he could possibly be if he stayed injury free. Well 21 games into the season, it looks like he is willing to make good on his potential.

With nobody else to share the ball with, Lavine has had an amazing start to his season. Averaging almost 26 points per game, 10 PPG higher than his career average, along with 4.6 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game, Lavine has carried the Bulls to their measly 5 wins. He seems like a prime candidate to explode against the Detroit Pistons unless the game becomes a blowout.
