Lavine is underrated



[https://nbarankings.theringer.com/](https://nbarankings.theringer.com/)

I’ve read through the top 75 and I lost a couple brain cells so I had to stop. Since I’m a bulls fan, I have to talk about the egregious placements of derozan and lavine at 41 and 47 respectively. I may be severely biased, but there are numerous players such as (Domantas Sabonis, Draymond Green, Evan Mobley, JJJ, Desmond Bane, Andrew Wiggins, Aaron Gordon, Julius Randle) who are clearly not better than either of them and a couple more players who would be debatable. It just pisses me off how disrespected these guys are.

In addition, going off of recent news of the Bulls open to trading Lavine, I’ve seen many mock trades on [fanspo.com](https://fanspo.com) (check the site out, it’s pretty cool) that have downright horrendous offerings for Lavine and for some reason it just clicked for me that almost everybody not affiliated with the bulls underrate Lavine and what he brings to a team. Sure he has his moments and I’ve had my fair share of screaming at the screen wanting him to stop pulling midrange shots. But, he is undoubtedly in my mind, a top 20 scorer in the league, and a player who is best of all, available. Even though I would like to see the Bulls blow it up, I fear the return on Lavine will be disgusting and we’ll be put into the same position we’re always put in.

    Oh boy, here come the offseason posts about how everyone on our team is underrated even though we can’t even make it to the playoffs.

    You are biased my guy. Sabonis is coming off an all nba season in which he was the second best player on the 3 seed, Draymond is still a top 10 defender and a top 5 all time defender, Mobley was in DPOY top 3, JJJ was the dpoy, Wiggins was the 2nd best player on the finals champs last year, AG was the 2nd best this year. I’ll atleast listen to you about Bane and Randle but Randle is a multi time all nba guy and Bane was playing like one before the injury. Zach and Demar CANT defend they are liabilities on that end, and not worth much if their shots aren’t falling where all of these other guys bring more playmaking and defense to the table. Zach and Demar are not the 1st or 2nd best / most important players on an actual championship team and that’s just the facts.
