Does Lavine do anything better than Jaylen?
Well... yeah. People sleep on how good LaVine was this past season. He averaged 27/5/5 on 50/41/84 shooting as the Bulls' #1 option. He's more efficient from every part of the court, he's a better passer, he gets to the line more, and he was doing all of this as the Bulls' only viable offensive threat until they added Vucevic at the trade deadline. Dude is really good.
Would I trade Jaylen for him? I don't think so. I'm admittedly biased because I really like Jaylen and I want to see him succeed in Boston, not Chicago. I do think LaVine is the better player right now. But Jaylen is the better defender, even in a down defensive year for him, so the difference isn't as large as the offensive numbers make it seem. And I've been impressed by Jaylen's ability to come back better every single year. So I'll ride with our guy.
