IMHO he needs a few more weeks at least
he hasn't played NBA ball in 1.5 years, so it might take a while
across the last 3 games or so you can see improvements in movement, timing, and stamina, so it doesn't appear to be smoke _________________ LBJ + AD = More rings

Yes and No. Koloko matches well with Bron when AD sits as he contests the basket well. Hayes can and has played well with AD because he’s mobile enough to keep a perimeter person in front him and he outright just dunks (bleep). I think it would be good to have both healthy and available. Just that Hayes seems to be firmly replacing Wood
I will say he will need to be converted from a 2 way to a nba deal soon so I’m hoping we shed JHS or Lewis
Koloko was productive off the bench today. He gave us 10 solid minutes.
(3-4 FG), 6 RB, 1 Ast, 1Blk, 1 Stl. | good defense and hustle.
1 ill advised 3 was about the only knock against him
it'd be nice if we can get him more minutes to get his legs fully back...and then he'd have a chance to show if he can be more
A solid 5 game run of him the GLeague playing 28mins+ would do wonders. That requires for the parent team to be healthy & we are far from that. All of our bigs outside of 40 year old Bron & nagging injury AD are currently out. _________________ "He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone; you can hear him in your head, 'Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot.'

Koloko played well and should get more PT>.... Do It JJ!

Koloko -- -- Really liked his game tonight. He was a +12 in 12 minutes. Good first shift as he anchored the defense well during AD’s rest.
The Lakers managed to keep the Wolves without a field goal for 5 minutes straight during that stretch. In the fourth, he battled and blocked another shot.
He’d finish the game with 3 blocks and 6 boards in those short minutes. That was probably his best stretch of Laker ball.
Good to see the team actually do well for a stretch without Bron or AD on the floor.
Stats: He didn’t shoot or score and had 6 boards, 1 steal, 3 turnovers and 2 fouls in 12 minutes. He was a +12.
He was a factor out there. It said he only blocked 3 shots but it seemed like a lot more to me. If he can protect the paint and rebound like that he should get all the backup minutes. _________________ “like I never left”
he's a good defensive big if we're playing drop. hope JJ has the sense to use his defensive ability when appropriate. When Jax is back we can play more hedging/ switching lineups with Hayes

He is, but offers next to nothing offensively. I really don't see him getting more than 10-12 minutes a game or even less with Jax back. The latter can at give you some buckets.

Yeah for sure. Hayes is a much better player than him overall, and I don't see him getting minutes with Hayes back. But I also think it's reasonable to give Koloko minutes if the defensive scheme against the opponent calls for more drop. Especially in the non-AD minutes.
Not mad at this, taller, younger, so far a keeper _________________ “The main goal for the Lakers is to win a championship. All I care about, all we care about, is to raise another banner in the rafters.“
86th percentile defensively after a year away from competitive basketball.

It's a shame the Lakers don't have a roster spot they could sign Koloko to on a min contract with non guaranteed years to the contract. _________________ Coach MWP.

Sure wouldn't want to lose koloko because of JHS
He ain't going nowhere
I'm talking your word on it ...
Now if you mean JHS ain't going nowhere geographically I'm in shambles
I cringed so hard the first times he was put into a game.
Hopefully his, JHS, back fully recovers and he has a successful career.
I need to go read up on koloko..got crazy in his name and it's just the energy we need .. Tasmanian Devil fan I am.
