His 3 is effortless. |
Yeah, I was never against the pick at all and saw some decent potential but jeez.. His improvement from the start of the season to the end is pretty staggering. If he has another jump in improvement he's easily a role player, excited to see how he looks at the start of next Season.
I could see him and especially Dalton in the rotation next Season at some point for sure. |
His health scare really set his development back at least a year and maybe more. There’s no telling where he’d be had he been able to continue to develop unimpeded. As is he’s about as good as can be hoped for in a late 2nd rounder with the potential to develop even higher!

When reasonably possible, I expect the Lakers to go after a ship like it can’t be denied. I haven’t seen a completely committed effort by the GM for the last 2 off seasons nor the last 2 trade deadlines. What is going on? |

I hope it's Bronny, Goodwin, Dalton, Markieff and Jemison.
Bring Shake, Koloko and Len off the bench.
Put everyone else in street clothes. |

50 wins - could've easily been 55-57 had we not absolutely choked away some wins.
Still, we handled our bidness tonight.

Gotta give some respect to JJ Reddick - rookie head coach - 50 wins
Luka had a lot to do with that, but JJ held this team together, won the players' trust, and held their feet to the fire this season to play solid defense, pay attention to details, and play on the same page on both ends of the court.
Exceeded expectations, I'd say. |

You have to be mistaken. Basketball expert Charles Barkley said that the Lakers suck and would never be better than a five seed. How could the fat man be wrong? |

Luka's midrange is back. Hopefully it stays back during this long break.

It's a lot more surprising the few times he's actually right
