Of course D-Lo and Clarkson are not the shooters Curry and Klay are...99% of the population aren't...But....
D-Lo - A play maker, descent ball handler, 6'5, can score multiple ways...great passer...young of course,..a descent shooter... more of a slasher than Curry
Clarkson- A descent shooter, 6'5ish..slasher..can create just as good if not better than Klay...scorer
Ingram- More athletic than Barnes, probably a better ashooter...Potentially even a better offensive threat...Also can be a better defender..Better offensive arsenal
Zubac- 7'1ish...could be a good to great rebounder and a rim protector... tons of potential on offense...
Randle- Can handle the ball solidly for a 4 man...mid range game is getting there...still needs work on outside shot...can see him being able to knock down the 3 ball eventually....
I'm not drinking the homerism (well, I'm from Michigan, so technically not a homer,..but could be bias I guess) kool-aid....but...Anyone else see's maybe a little itty bitty sprinkle of comparable Golden State blue print with what we have thus far?

True that...I think our 3,4,5 position may be sorta closer to Golden State..back court I'd say more comparable to OKC... _________________ True Laker fan from the state of Michigan!

Well...now that I think about it...I agree...more OKC comparable _________________ True Laker fan from the state of Michigan! You know you're a true fan when physical altercations take place involving your team in discussions...Yeah man...True fanimal
I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge (and has been since we got Luke) that we are trying to built our own version of a modern, GSW like, team. Not sure what there is new to talk about in this thread.
Closer to 2004 Detroit Pistons depending on if we get Horford and Whiteside. As is, yeah they remind me of a mesh of both GSW and OKC. We got poor man's Curry, Durant, Green, Bogut and a very very poor man's Westbrook according to Dave 20 _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season

I'd say we're more comparable to the Nets, actually.

Honestly, some of these Laker fans bringing the hype to this collection of young players remind of Clipper fans back in the early 2000s when they hyped up Miles, Brand, Odom, Maggette, Richardson, Livingston. Those Clipper teams, while entertaining, won nothing and were generally bad because the Clippers never got enough solid veterans around them.
This collection of Lakers is a 20 win team right now if they do nothing. They absolutely need to hit a home run in free agency. Our roster last year had way too many guys that didn't even belong in the league, especially on the bench.

Yep, all I know about knockoffs is that they are usually inferior and worse in quality than the original....

I think some people will project a Warriors blueprint simply because we hired Luke as our coach from them. If we had hired another coach, I doubt anyone would be comparing this roster to Golden State. In terms of style of play, weaknesses and strength, I don't see that our guys are similar to Golden State's players.

Its going to be a young defensive team that will have an influx of veteran talent and leadership, there is no ceiling for this team _________________ Hambuger! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast

GS copied San Antonio and Miami. It's not a big deal. You learn from other teams and maximize your own talent.
Not sure where Ingram is comparable to anyone on GS. Yeah you want long guys who are versatile and can shoot. So does everyone else.
