Lavine reminds me of JET, though not necessarily in terms of playing style. JET was also the best player on a bad team. He came to Dallas with some bad habits, not conducive to winning. But he was a hard worker. Coachable. Talented. Tough.
Lavine strikes me as very similar. He's super talented and will clean up his game in the right situation.
Yeah, I see where you're going with that. It could work out just the same way, only with an even bigger payoff down the road.
Can we all agree that a higher basketball IQ version of LaVine who focused on defense and played more within himself on offense would be an insanely positive thing to have in the NBA?
