X is out of shape. Healthy but out of shape and getting up to NBA speed. I'd rather look at Roscoe Smith and Quincy Miller right now while X gets himself re-acclimated in the D-league.


no, no lift, not healthy.

BScott worked X a bit in practice, looks like that carried over into tonight's game. 3-13 in 36 min. Many of shots were coming up short. Hope he'll be back on the roster tomorrow night against Denver.

I know its just a d-league game .. but holy ish! Jordan Clarkson dropped some VERY NICE dimes.

I absolutely don't mind him going to the D-League. Playing time is when you really improve your game.

Next year, I predict Jordan Clarkson and Julius Randle will have very, very nice years.

yeah it is a d-league game, but he's probably playing against better defenses in the d-league than Mudiay is in the league he's playing in.

And he looks very promising(Clarkson) some really nice dimes and he seems to get good when he's in a rhythm. Can tell the confidence comes out in during games now.

Since Clarkson can't shoot, he should focus on being a lock-down defender and a slasher to the basket.

We should move Jamario Moon up and give him a shot at the pros. Maybe Wes Johnson is better than him, I just want to get a chance to see it..

So after seeing that play in the 4th quarter I went back and watched the D-Fenders game from the start. Roscoe looked good- wouldn't mind seeing him called up. X, not so much, especially defensively, though that could be because he'd already had a heavy practice.

But more importantly, I noticed the exact same terrible defensive breakdowns as the Lakers.

Right away, I see this:


Look familiar?


And Manny Harris continues to do his Kobe on D impression with his one man zone:



Two consecutive possessions doubling PnR ball handler and then having the corner shooter's man rotate, giving up the corner 3.

And then I go look up the team stats, and sure enough, worst defensive efficiency in the league by over 4 points.

Anyone want to try to blame the roster for this team too?

Yeah, but he's right every time.

If those guys don't play, the Lakers have agreed to not play them.

Watched the latest Dfenders game against the Knicks. Roscoe looked completely lost on both ends. A bit disappointing considering that this is his time to step up. Defense from both teams was horrible.
