JC is one of the few guys on the team that DGAF. And you need that even if sometimes it leaves you scratching your head.
Not, and never have been, on the trade JC bandwagon.
#1 scoring player in the league off the bench. |

Clarkson, Nance, Zubac/Bryant & Lopez for Boogie makes sense for both teams if Boogie is not going to resign.
Clarkson, Nance, Zubac/Bryant & Brewer for PG13 though OKC would probably want Randle instead of Nance.
OKC and NO are in danger of getting nothing for their guys so and they are both struggling so Boogie & PG13 should be on the sales rack. |
Why do we trade for PG13 when he is coming to LA for free?
I mean seriously. If you add PG13 to this team for KCP, lakers is a playoff team. How many close games we lost this season? It sure would change with a super star like PG. |

Never understood why he gets so much hate. The guy is a player and a worker, I've always liked him. |

JC's preference is score off the PnR. Zo's is to pass to Julius. Without checking the stats, the latter is probably more efficient. |

One poster here way overdid the hype. Other than that he’s pretty much lived up to his billing as a 6th man. No problems here with that. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

JC is showing this year how it pays to be patient with young players and let them develop. Believe it or not, but JC is leading the team in PER. He's also third in scoring on our team despite playing significantly fewer minutes than our top 2 scorers (Ingram and Kuzma). _________________ LakersGround's Terms of Service

I don't think many hate him this year.
Some still mention tunnel vision which I think he's improved.
I get on him for untimely turnovers.
But in general I think most like what he's doing this year. |

Exactly. He was just not that good the last two years, but he's been excellent this year. Don't know anyone who's criticizing him at this point. |

Exactly. I’ve been a critic but I’m the first to praise his much improved play this year. It’s a shame he may become a cap casualty. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

I need more games to prove my theory but I believe JC has figured out how to be the most effective. He can penetrate anytime he wants but it makes it so much easier if he passes first. His best passes are off the PNR.
Looking at his rookie season, that was when he was most effective. Wonder why we went away from that when JC is on the floor.
Luke needs to realize that when the offense isn’t clicking, he has to pull Zo and put JC in and let him orchestrate for a while. Then pull KCP later and put Zo back in to stabilize the offense.
With Zo and JC, run the offense and see where it goes. It it fails, reset with JC on the top and let him do PNR with a big. If JC gets to the cup, all bigs have to dive just in case he gets trapped and needs an outlet.
Simple. |

DLO....he got moved to SG. Guy has always got moved around and his minutes played with based on others. In my opinion...and I was not always of this thought, although some were....he should have remained @ PG his second year, and DLO should have played a lot more off ball. Maybe he has more consistent development/progression over last couple years. |

For all the talk of how the FO do an excellent job of finding gems late in The draft, they should follow through and disregard draft position once basketball starts.
Nance is doing well but Kuz and JC are being looked over because of draft position. This need to change. |

Clarkson is having a very strong season. The fact that he's playing PG again probably has a lot to do with that. |
