Jamal Crawford believes Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine has a bright future in front of him.

LaVine, who did not participate in the NBA All-Star Game in Chicago this past February, was averaging 25.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game for the Bulls this season.

“But for Zach specifically, I was happy to see Zach play. Now the only thing is, obviously if they’re a little more better as a team then more people will know about him. Then he makes All-Star. But if he could do the same thing, maybe a little bit less.

Maybe more help comes around for him and gets them into the playoffs. Zach’s future is bright, he’s always working, he’s such a good spirit and I knew because especially as a young man, you root for guys like that.

He actually just partnered with me in helping my community with the pandemic and putting money in the community. Just going out his way helping people.

He’s such a good guy on and off the court. He’s the star. No doubt about it. People will see how bright his star is once he gets a better team,” Crawford told Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson of Heavy.com.
