Yeah that's what I saw. He has the pocket play navigation down, but he's just not taking the shot and playing passively.

Prince played well, but I'd still prefer Rui as the 5th starter
both shot excellent, but Rui got a lot more boards and was more physical without as many fouls

Yeah he's instinctively looking to pass as the first option and often isn't looking for the shot unless it's the last option. But the ease with which he gets in the pocket and gets open from mid, I like. He just has to start seeing how open he is and when he gets in the pocket shooting it instead of looking around to see whose open and not find anyone, and the reason he doesn't find anyone is because HE'S the one that's open and he needs to take the shot.

I hope I am wrong, but I was not a fan of the JHS pick.

Maxwell Lewis looked a lot more assertive than he did in summer league play. Hopefully he'll become a 3, D and T player (3-pointers, defense and transition buckets).
He wears #21, so maybe he should model his game after Michael Cooper, who of course was the NBA's original 3-and-D or 3, D and T player.

Dang, I had long forgotten that stiff, but you hit the nail on the head.

Yup. Balled all the way out.
JHS has been in the league for 7 minutes. We can at least give him until the season starts, get some time w/ SBLakers, etc.

Wagner wasn't a disappointing pick, considering his draft position. He's basically Larry Nance Jr without the hops. Can impact the game without scoring and his hustle is always a welcome addition. I'd probably take him over Nance because he's more durable. Sure, Lakers could have had Mitchell Robinson or Robert Williams, but it just seems like it's pick your poison with big men these days. They are more injury prone than ever before.
