Wtf is up with the guys free throw shooting though? If he could improve to 80%, he has the potential to be a 25ppg scorer Imo because with starters minutes, he could hit 8-10 fts per game with his phenomenal slashing that he does. If he is going to be a 60 percent ft shooter, then his slashing ability is useless.

To his defense he improved his FT shooting as the season progressed. Here are the stats:

Month - FT%
October - .529
November - .587
December - .663
March - .794

That is good to hear. Hopefully he is a solid 75-80% this season, then this kid would be a great find for a bargain price.

Probably asking for a double dribble after getting beat by Griffin.

X is a fearless driver, he absorbs contact and finishes. He is well worth the min. and probably much more. B will like his aggressiveness. Always plays hard, except he will have to defense, this is not MDA ball any longer.

Exactly. I don't see 25 but 18-22 for sure. He's just very inconsistent, I really hope playing alongside Kobe he gets better. Play the role of Ariza but a better scorer.

and i'll bring it down even another notch. lol. i think he can realistically be a 16ppg scorer. skill wise he's not far off from a Parsons -- at least off the dribble/being able to get to penetrate. shooting wise there's room for improvement, but he's a solid shooter.

Are people serious? Maybe in spurts but not long term. Maybe a 12-13 ppg at best if he's actually healthy enough to play enough games.

what are his limitations on offense where he couldnt avg 15ppg? and i didnt mean he'd avg that this year; in a couple years. he's only 23 years old. he's a solid base of a player

sure, he's very left handed, but that can be improved upon. and in that, taking his off the dribble game to just the next level, i really do think he can be a 15ppg scorer. if his stepback J and catch n shoot jumpers fall.
and btw, he still got to the rim almost at will, after teams knew of his "very left handed" scouting report

For one being healthy which is kind of important. You can't keep on climbing a hill, falling down because of injury than expect him to climb higher and higher.

He can be a good role player. But he needs to work on not just crashing into people and using his upper body. He can improve but always being hurt will hamper his improvement.

hardest foul Pau tried in his career, and he missed all them lovely taps at Blake. LOL

as for Henry... good we got him for cheaps... but what's up with him? can't he get any decent deal somewhere?

health issues aside and all.. i hate how people see a players game at 22 years old and dont picture them making any major improvements. or any improvement period. they just say "he's this, he's that." people dont see his whole game as special right now, and they write him off.
he's not supposed to be special at 22 years old, in basically only his 2nd season of decent playing time. he's supposed to improve.
