I wanted to put him on the poll because he can definitely slip to point when DLO catches a breather.
I edited the thread last minute coz JC is a legit starter not a backup.
What makes JC a legit starter and not Lou Will.
Let me see.
JC started last year. He matches up better defensively against the opposing shooting guards than Lou. Lakers paid him 50M recently which shows how they value him. Clarkson is healthier, more athletic and a better shooter than Lou.

JC will be the starter.
Lou Will started too. He is a better defender than JC, who is argubly the worst defender with Randle. Lakers also gave 4 year deals to +30 year old guys like Deng and Mosgov.
JC is nowhere near the shooter lou Will is. Lou Williams had just as many points and assists as JC, who starter most games....

Lakers also gave 4 year deals to +30 year old guys like Deng and Mosgov. (They will start too, don't worry about them)
JC is nowhere near the shooter lou Will is. (Again, last year stats favor JC)
Anyone with eyes can tell that JC is by far the worst defender on this team, especially with all that speed and quickness, he gets burn almost every play. While a 30 year old Lou Will that is shorter usually stays in front of his man at the min.
Because the FO made mistakes giving 4 year deals, doesn't mean they know better. This is the same FO that hired Scott and let key players leave.

JC got more steals and rebounds last year than Lou, can't argue with stats.

Didn't mean the player didn't score by shooting over him LOL.

I would rather they make a mistake signing them 4 years than signing nobody for 2 years.

We needed to do those things coz of the Tank that got us our bright future today.
Calderon, because Lou shouldn't be a point guard at all. With that said, Calderon knows how to run a team so does Huertas, but Calderon has a track record of it in the NBA. _________________ I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

Lou Will TS: .584
JC TS: .516
TS is not a pure/basic stat.
Actually, Lou's per 36 and JC's per 36, their steals are equal at 1.2/g.
Also, Lou Will a significantly shorter and older guy had more blocks than JC did.
Yea, its true. However, still did a better job than JC as a defender regardless.
So, you rather sign two +30 year old guys that could screw us over in next year draft, just so we can win a few more games? Lose our pick to 76ers, so they can get 2 top 5 picks next year. Also, as others mentioned, lost our cap flex in the future, so we can be a 30 win team?
This Front Office in 3 years didn't make the playoffs and we had our worst season in Laker history...Because we got really lucky with 2 #2 picks, doesn't mean the FO did well.

I'm kinda leaning over Calderon also with letting Lou play the SG role.

Let me guess, you want to be in the lottery again next year.

A big F U to that. No thanks.
Like we have any choice. Difference is, going from top 3 to potentially 5-8 and losing a prospect in a loaded class...

You are a looking at it at a glass half empty perspective. Give it 30 games in to the season at least.

Lou is primarily a shooter, and that's what we want him for off the bench, scoring points, much like Crawford with the Clipps. Huertas is a good 3rd string PG, really a good guy off the deep bench to get the third stringers easy opportunities. Calderon is the short term answer, and gives us a very steady backup to Russell. Clarkson can play point too, but he is the SG this year, maybe next year he is off the bench, but really only if we get a star SG, and run a 3 guard rotation. _________________ LAKERS 2019-2020: NBA World Champions!
Next season is like the mysterious mist, it effing scares a lot of people because you don't know what's behind it.
You are scared shtless but that doesn't mean you go Thomas Jane and start shooting everyone inside the car only to realize HELP was behind that mist all along.
Stay calm, face what's coming and most importantly never shoot your own.
