The Shooting Guard only played 24 Games in 2017-18 as he was recovering from a torn ACL. He averaged 16.7 Points in his return, which was significantly increased to 23.7 Points in 2018-19 with an 18.7 PER.
Now the number one option on the Bulls, LaVine had very good numbers in PER (19.4) and Points per Game (25.5) in 2019-20, which he grew to 21.5 and 27.4 respectively last season. For his efforts, LaVine went to his first All-Star Game . In 2021-22, with the surprise play of DeMar DeRozan, LaVine's offensive numbers slipped (24.4 PPG), but was still an All-Star, and though he was not chosen in 2022-23, he still had another strong campaign averaging over 24 Points per Game.
Still a Bull, LaVine will climb this list, but he needs to take Chicago to a deep playoff run for him to gain a high rank.
