Zach LaVine's honest statement from Josh Giddey after Bulls-Pelicans

Wednesday night was a moment full of stories for the Chicago Bulls. Zach LaVine returned from injury, Lonzo Ball played his first regular season game in over two seasons and Josh Giddey made his Bulls debut.

Even though the Chicago Bulls couldn't get a win against the Pelicans, there was plenty to talk about. After the game, Zach LaVine spoke to the media and shared his thoughts on Giddey's debut. Surprisingly, LaVine compared Giddey to one of his former teammates on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“He gets the ball out of his hands,” LaVine said. “He looks for guys when he gets on the trail. When he gets to the lane he can obviously score, but I think his first instinct is to pass. I've played with a lot of guys like that – the guy that comes to mind is Ricky Rubio, the way he saw the game, the way he passed.”

Giddey finished the night with 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 turnovers while shooting 45.5% from the field. Overall, no one had a great game for the Bulls other than Nikola Vucevic. Zach LaVine started the game brilliantly, but ended up with seven very costly turnovers and finished the game minus-15.

A much tougher opponent awaits the Chicago Bulls on Friday evening – the Milwaukee Bucks.
