Seems to me like that offense created some easier opportunities for it's players. The Lakers became spoiled by Kobe in his prime, he hardly needed an offensive system, just get him the ball and stay out of his way.
But right now, we don't even have a pecking order and we need a system that will allow these guys to score.
I would like to see us draft Ingram and get a faster center who can score from the freethrow line in. He doesn't have to be a great 3 pt shooter, I don't think. Ingram, DLO and Clarkson have to be able to hit outside shots and be threat to drive, which they all are.
Get a decent center and a couple of years to play together and I like that team. Unfortunately, Simmons doesn't give us the same offense. He is basically another Randle, perhaps better but still the same. Maybe he can be our fast center??? Not sure he can play enough D to make that work.
But with Simmons we ONLY have 2 outside shooters, you stop one of them and it's over. You need 3 shooters or more on the floor all the time, IMHO.

I'm gonna get more into this when I make the half court offense video, but there are some rules & structure that you can put in place to help with this. Not everyone has to have great court vision to play this style, and I think most players can work within it if they follow a couple of principles. |
In terms of fitting the GS principles to the Laker roster strengths, can I opine that Russell's prowess on the block and/or mid-post should be incorporated? Dump it into the post for a five count by a big might be dead, but get a guy that can catch it on the move in an advanced position while having an elite ability to facilitate/pass is an offensive sledgehammer.
Maybe that would be more of a triangle set I guess.

They run some Triangle sets (on the strong side at least) with Split Cuts & even some Elbow Series stuff where Russell in the low post or high post would make a ton of sense. |

| They have a few misc. post sets but they will also let Livingston just walk it down into the post in early offense (keeping with the thread theme) and go to work. I think Luke will just swap Livingston with Russell and roll out those options when we have a size mismatch. |

That will be sweet. DeRozan also has great footwork on the post. If you have those two at the guard position opponents will have a hard time playing shorter guards

| Thanks for the video and break down GT. That's pretty cool! Do you think when the season starts, you'll have time and want to break down some of the actual games from time to time? |

Yeah, this is something that I'm hoping to do throughout the year. Once this Luke to the Lakers series is done, the next one will be on how whomever we draft will fit in, then one on Summer League, then Free Agents, and then the preseason.
It will probably be too time consuming to do one on every game, but I might do a "Week in Review" type of thing. |

Yes, although the timing on that isn't great right now considering the OKC series. |
