Drafted 13th overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2014, he was a guard who had been described in his pre-draft evaluations in terms that the scouting community reserves for players who move differently than defenders can fully account for — a player who elevated at a speed and height that made his path to the basket genuinely difficult to close on. The Slam Dunk Contests of 2015 and 2016 gave the broader basketball audience their introduction: back-to-back contest wins that produced two of the most visually striking performances the event had seen in years, confirming that the athleticism the scouting reports had described was not projection but documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏀 His development continued through a 2017 trade to the Chicago Bulls and through a 2018 ACL injury that would have defined lesser players' careers as a before-and-after moment. What came after the injury was a scorer at a level that his pre-injury seasons had not fully previewed. He exceeded 25 points per game in multiple seasons in Chicago, earned back-to-back All-Star selections in 2021 and 2022, and became the offensive anchor of a Bulls organization that built around his scoring and athleticism as primary assets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e💎 \u003cstrong\u003e2014-15 Panini Select — His First-Year RC Set\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e💎 The 2014-15 Panini Select set was produced during LaVine's rookie season, making this card one of his earliest certified first-year cards.
