Sorry but if you think playing next to Kobe is a hindrance to a players game you need to check your history
Playing next to Kobe in his final year was brutal. Not talking about his entire career.


How was it brutal for JC? He led the team in minutes and was 2nd in shot attempts.
It was brutal for JC, Russell, and us fans for having to watch it. It stunted his development.


Sure, but you make it sound like JC bore the brunt of it, when he didn't. Started every game he played. 2nd most shots, most minutes. Meanwhile DLO/Randle yanked and jerked around by Byron game-to-game.

This is a ridiculous claim that it stunted his growth please show me a shred of evidence that shows this. Kobe has done nothing but help these kids

His claim has and always will be that JC should have taken the most shots and been the "leader," even though JC isn't the "leader" type of guy.

Dave doesn't do evidence. Only hyperbole.

Could be possible but adding up teammates PPG does not equal team PPG like it has been said numerous times around here.

I'm not adding up anything. It specifically says 109ppg which would be good for 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the league.

Depends largely on pace (we were 18th last year in that category), but 109 PPG is unlikely considering only two teams last year scored at least 109 PPG.

I think DLo could easily be a 20 point scorer on a bad team, probably JC as well (though I doubt both at the same time). I just hope they can do that on a good team as well.

Does anyone remember our "go-to" guy on those marginal (mid-90's) playoff teams? Cedric Ceballos. Someone has to score the points.

I have so much hope for this team, but there's so much we just don't know.

DLO can score 20 PPG in his sleep. If Steph Curry can score 30/game, DLO can score 35. However there is one difference between Steph and DLO. DLO is a team player, a true leader who tries to make others better and spreads the ball. He is a team player unlike Steph. If DLO fails to get 20 PPG, there is only one reason. He is just trying to make his teammates better


You bring up the Warriors an awful lot.


Its pretty clear to me that we are following the Warriors philosophy to build post-Kobe era and there are a lot of similarities

Our young point guard has the same skillset as theirs

Our young power forward has an all around game like theirs. Randle has even compared himself to Green in interviews

Ingram is very similar to Durant

Deng is a player who can defend the 3 or 4. can hit the open long ball, can drive to the hoop, can rebound his position......sounds a little like how Golden State used Iguadola and Barnes

And we hire their top assistant coach, who will bring the same philosophies, structure, and sets that the Warriors use


I admire your bluntness. Alot of people will only imply that they think DLO is the next Steph Curry. But you have the balls to flat out say it.

I'm not sure DLO will ever be a 2 time reigning MVP with one year as a unanimous choice. But I like that you have the guts to openly compare the two anyways.


He said skill set but whatever

Run TMC had 3 guys average over 20 ppg. If they can do it, then so can we.

I think so, depending on the minutes distribution. I think JC has the best shot at it though, because of his ability to drive to the hoop for easy buckets.

old thread.

I pretty much dismissed BI as being a contributor this season. I said anything he'd give is just gravy.

Dlo could be the one if he was not asked to set up the offense first, but it's good to him. Mac also has a shot should Lou was not here

The question was for this season, and no one, and Lou was the best player before he got traded, will come close to averaging 20.
