Check out the individual player grades from Monday night’s victory below.
Coby White: B
Coby White got the start once again with Lonzo Ball in health and safety protocols, finishing with 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals on 5-of-11 shooting from the field and 3-of-7 from 3-point range. White is still finding his groove this season and has rookie Ayo Dosunmu on his tail for more minutes.
Zach LaVine: A+
LaVine was great in Monday night’s win as he, and DeMar DeRozan, were simply unstoppable against the undermanned Hawks. LaVine showcased some flashy plays, including a buzzer beating corner three before halftime and a poster dunk. With Lonzo out, LaVine has seen an uptick in his playmaking, as he finished with a season-high 9 assists.
DeMar DeRozan: A+
Like his running mate, DeMar DeRozan was phenomenal on Monday night. Like LaVine, DDR has increased his playmaking duties with Lonzo in protocols. With this many above average facilitators for the Bulls, their offense is primed to make a serious run in the playoffs.
Nikola Vucevic: A+
It really was a near perfect offensive performance for the Bulls’ big three on Monday, as Nikola Vucevic finished with 24 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 blocks on 9-of-19 shooting and 4-of-8 from downtown. Vooch has seen an uptick in looks offensively as of late and has been finding his groove from outside.
