Zach LaVine's career has taken a new turn after being moved to the Sacramento Kings, where he has started strong, even winning Conference Player of the Week for the first time.
LaVine totaled 36 points (14-22 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 127-109 victory over San Antonio.
LaVine has been underwhelming since joining the Kings via trade a few weeks ago. The 29-year-old guard is averaging 20.3 points and 4.7 assists through seven games with the Kings, shooting just 43% from the field and 26.4% from beyond the arc.
The Kings destroyed the Charlotte Hornets by 42 behind a 42-point explosion from LaVine and followed it up with a 17-point road win over the Utah Jazz with 22 points from LaVine. The two-time All-Star had a slow start to his Sacramento campaign but has quickly become the potential number-one option in this offense.
