UCLA Basketball - Zach LaVine: I Had A Frustrating Season

That truce didn't last long. Zach LaVine is starting to dish on his relationship with Alford.

Full quote from LaVine: "It was just a frustrating season for me, and coach and I really didn't see eye-to-eye on different things."

And...

LaVine: "I just wanted to be on the floor & help the team every opportunity I could. … I just feel like I didn't get some opportunities."

Zach has impressed thus far.

Here's a short interview with Zach from the Combine. He clearly sees himself as a point guard.

Makes you wonder.  Why didn't he get a shot at backing up Kyle...as opposed to the guy related to the coach?

In other Bruin news from the Draft Combine, Kyle Anderson dropped out due to an injury:

In a shocking measurement, Jordan Adams is only 6'3 1/2".  ESPN writes that reporting the true height measurements is always interesting and one of the most highly anticipated stats from the Combine.

Update Friday Morning:  More buzz on LaVine here and here and here.  The theme I'm picking up is that Zach was always a point guard,  Alford inexplicably didn't use him there, another season at UCLA would have been a waste, and now Zach is determined to prove he can play PG at the next level,  So far, so good for Zach.
