Mo has a long way to go before he makes an impact on this team. The G-League is just what the doctor ordered. Time & patience is needed.
Yup. My thoughts exactly.
Good thing we have both McGee and Chandler at center now. We went from weak to deep real fast at the 5. We can now afford to keep Moe with South Bay and give him oodles of playing time.
Mo, Bonga & Svi have a laundry list of things to work on before they will be able to contribute on an NBA play-off contending team. In time they can be viable players however the Lakers are no longer just a rookie incubator team, we are trying to build a winning culture.

How'd he look?
kind of resembled a cross between Magic, Dr. J, Bill Russell.....and Chris Mihm.
He looked like Moritz Wagner always looks....like he is trying really hard, but not accomplishing much.
Hmmm...the internet tells me he made a few nice passes. Oh, well.
Should've brought back Brook.
come on...you going to trust the internet or adkindo? Honestly, I was not watching closely by that point in the game.....but I am going to be childish about the pick until Moritz proves me wrong.
Kid can pass from the high post. He also did it yesterday with a pass to kcp.
His G-league work resembles his college effort. He is active, communicates and can do a bunch of things reasonably well: pass, shoot the 3, cover the weak side. He is still too light to play interior position D consistently, cannot hit his shots consistently when bothered, and fairly weak on rebounding. But I like hi, activity, his ability to get out and run, and his (developing) passing game.
Mo is likely to be important for us. It's just a matter of how quickly he can regain his form after being out of action for months, missing training camp.
Mo brings 3 key things
- Size
- Shooting/spacing
- Scoring
Mo can score. Yes, he's not a great defender or rebounder. But our second unit is too small, particularly if Beasley is not regularly in the rotation. We need more size there, as well as more scoring.
I hope Mo is not so far behind from his injury that he won't be able to help out this year. I think he will eventually get some meaningful run this year, especially if Beasley stumbles.
Mo when ready, should play PF...it's great to have guys like TC & McGee defending the paint... _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team !
If he can play at the NBA level, Moe's skillset would let the coaching staff add a lot of wrinkles to the offense. _________________ Under New Management
