F Kawhi.


How would Wagner play HERE though? His defense is terrible and can’t play Center. His touches for the Wizards wouldn’t happen here either.


His defense has actually been great this season along with his shooting and driving to the paint

I'm kind of like the 3 headed center rotation we got going.

D39: 6.9 BLK%
McGee: 6.7 BLK%
AD: 7.6 BLK%

It was a year ago at this time that Talen Horton-Tucker showed the college basketball world what others had already suspected: That this true freshman from Chicago’s Simeon High School was destined sooner rather than later for the NBA.

The realization started even before officially joining Iowa State coach Steve Prohm’s very talented 2018 recruiting class. He solidified everyone’s educated hunch during last year’s Maui Invitational — and proved it when the Los Angeles Lakers drafted him after his one-and-only college season.

Lakers traded a 2020 2nd and cash for Tucker. Looking like good value so far.

32% FG and 25% 3 FG
That’s kind of worrying

He was a project.. 2nd youngest player in the draft.. bad shot selection in college, non ready body, iffy 3pt shot.
He looked great today in the 1st half. He played with pace, played PG, bullied guys to the rim, made a half dozen nice passes(a dozen in the full game).. I was starting to worry before todays game - because I didn't like his pace, and I felt that was a reflection of his body/footspeed. But he looked like an NBA player today. His 1st Q was dominant.

Every game he's had some special plays, a few of his patented long arm reverse finishes. Today there were like 10 plays.. was a nice game.

Looks like a longer version of Bradley. Can be a solid role player. Hopefully Lakers do what they did with Caruso. Let him develop at G League and bring him slowly and practice with our varsity player.

See how he created separation to shoot that three? He's probably already the best shot creator among our guards. He's just too green to play. Only 18.

Check the handles out 0.0 That's something we don't have on this squad. Would like to see him get a few minutes with the second unit, see if he can spark something

His passing ability is pretty Godly as well, which would also help on the second unit

Can't wait to watch him when he breaks the rotation

Him and Kostas are the two youngsters I'm cheering for the most
