Bulls player LaVine has a salary of $40 million this season, and in terms of salary, he is a giant player, but in terms of role, LaVine has not played the role of a giant, but has seriously dragged down the team, why do you say that?
According to the statistics on the NBA's official website, this season, the Bulls will lose by 7.1 points per 100 rounds when LaVine is on the floor, and when LaVine is not on the court, the Bulls will win by 0.7 points per 100 rounds, and LaVine's net efficiency impact on the Bulls is -7.8, ranking last on the team. Because of this, the Bulls' record improved by leaps and bounds during LaVine's injury absence. This phenomenon has made those teams who are interested in LaVine hesitate, and LaVine's value in the trade market has plummeted.
LaVine is very embarrassed to be the one who drags down the Bulls' record with a high salary, and what is even more embarrassing is that one of his teammates with an annual salary of $3.3 million frequently plays giant statistics, and this person's cost performance is enough to make LaVine ashamed.
This cost-effective player is Drummond, Drummond's salary this season is 3.3 million, less than one-tenth of LaVine's, but Drummond's contribution is great, after Vucevic was injured, Drummond became a starter, and continued to play monster data, against the Hawks, he cut 24 points, 25 boards, 3 steals and 2 blocks in 11 of 13, leading the Bulls to win, against the 76ers, he cut 15 points, 23 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in 6 of 8, leading the Bulls to win, today against the Hornets, Vucevic can play, Drummond played less time, he played 23 minutes, 9 of 12 cut 21 points and 15 boards, plus or minus+16 to help the Bulls beat the Hornets by 7 points.
Statistics show that the Bulls can win 0.4 points per 100 rounds when Drummond is on the floor this season, and the Bulls lose by 3.3 points per 100 rounds when they are not on the floor, which has a +3.7 impact on the Bulls' net efficiency, while LaVine is -7.8, Drummond's role and cost performance are enough to make LaVine feel embarrassed and ashamed.
