4. Zach LaVine

The two-time Slam Dunk Champion had no problem adjusting to Thibs offense in the 16-17 year. He averaged a career-high 18.7 points and was consistent on a nightly basis. He also dished out 3 assists per night and played a hefty 35 minutes per game.

The night that he tore his ACL he proceeded to continue playing 6 minutes and said it didn’t truly feel that painful until later on.

While coming in at number four for the Wolves he could of easily been number three if he didn’t tear his ACL late in the year.

It is really unfortunate that he tore his ACL because he was playing so well before the injury. Also while he was out, the Wolves seriously could have used him at times when we just couldn’t get a bucket and he would’ve provided 20+ points a night as well.

His flashy dunks and smooth jump shooting (shot 45 percent in 16-17) propelled him into an opportunity at stardom. He could catch fire at any moment and hit jump shot after jump shot. There would be times where he could score 15 points in just a matter of minutes.

Going into his fourth year he is looking to become a better defender and to rehab that torn ACL. He hopes to comeback stronger than ever and looking to coincide once again with Wiggins and Towns.
