“Zach LaVine has been shooting better than Stephen Curry, Devin Booker, and other sharpshooters”: NBA Twitter applauds the Bulls star for being the only player to average 25+ PPG on 40% from 3

Zach LaVine is the only player in the league to be averaging 25+ PPG while shooting more than 40% from beyond the three-point arc.

The Chicago Bulls have been one of the most surprising teams this season. Entering the 2021-2022 campaign, no one expected Billy Donovan’s boys to perform as well as they have been, so far. Apart from the resurgence of DeMar DeRozan, huge credits have to be given to Zach LaVine.

For the first time in his 5-year stint with the Bulls, LaVine has been provided with the perfect support system around him. And to his credit, Zach has been making full use of the star players he is sharing the backcourt with.

With numerous capable players on the squad, they have been able to take off a huge amount of the offensive load from the highflyer’s shoulders. Due to this, LaVine is in the midst of his most successful season, in terms of winning games.

The 26-year-old guard is currently the only player in the league who has been able to average more than 25 PPG while shooting more than 40% from the 3-point land.
