They did it in their eleventh game, while the Bulls duo did it in 16 games altogether. It is truly remarkable to even think about how efficient and great in the offensive end these two are.Īgain, to put this into context, DeRozan and LaVine are currently both averaging over 25 points per game, as they are at 26.6 and 26.8 points per contest, respectively. It is difficult to find the exact information about how impressive that is, but one stat might be relevant here. One NBA team, the Memphis Grizzlies to be exact, never had a player that averaged 25 points per game for an entire season. Ja Morant might be the first one, as he is averaging 26 points right now, but it is still incredibly impressive what these two guys were able to do. It is also relevant to see how they are scoring these points. While LaVine does step out and shoot threes, DeRozan really does it the old-school way. It is important to say that this style of basketball has been considered inefficient and that DeRozan is going to be a poor signing for the Bulls exactly because of this. DeRozan is currently shooting 52.3% on shots from ten to 16 feet from the basket.

The Chicago Bulls will need this play to continue for the full season.Īdditionally, from three to 10 feet, he is at 49.2% shooting, which is a very efficient number. While this efficiency and these numbers exactly will be incredibly difficult to sustain the rest of the season, even something similar to this might be enough for the Bulls to be considered a legitimate trap matchup in the playoffs.

There is precedent in the past for two players to average 25+ points per game, as Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry did in all three seasons they played in Golden State together. Regardless of what happens by the end of the season, this has truly shown how great the Bulls organization is being run.
