UCLA’s explosive freshman guard who pops off the page
In the 2013-14 season, LaVine gave UCLA a dynamic 9.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in 24.4 minutes, flashing efficient shot-making and real burst for a freshman guard[1][6]. His best differentiators were his smooth perimeter scoring, quick-trigger three-point stroke and knack for late-game shot creation, but his college résumé also showed he was still more of a high-upside piece than a finished floor general[1][6]. If you need a guard with athletic juice, spacing and upside, he fits; if you need steady veteran control, that was not yet his game[1][6].
