That's probably because Derrick Rose was the former MVP, and the Bulls encouraged him to take as much time as he needed and not to rush back. We are comparing a former MVP who had just signed a max contract, with a player who has yet to sniff an All-Star game and is still on his rookie contract. The motivations from all sides from the player, to management will be vastly different.
In the case of LaVine, the Bulls management wouldn't be in a rush because it's not like they are looking to win as many games this season. Where as from LaVine's point of view, he would be up for an extension so the earlier he comes back and showcases that he is indeed healthy, the better for his future. Eventually they will need to sit down and get on the same page, because I could see this being an issue with the Bulls management imploring him to take his time, and LaVine wanting to get back as soon as possible.
We shall see how it all pans out.
I was talking about in terms of physical progress. I remember Rose around this period said that he had trouble taking off and exlploding off his left leg, if I remember correctly. Lavine already said that he's dunking right now. I was just thinking that maybe rehab for ACL injuries has improved since rose got injured. I was all for Rose taking his time with his injury btw.
If kid is ready to play, let him play. Dont make a fuss about it and stand behind him as a goddamn 6x winning franchise.
