He constantly surprises me how strong he is. He's a short SG that can guard many SF's.
Get him with Kobe, and put him in the JRose 10k/day program. |

That is why he reminds be a bit of Justise Winslow, a guard version of him. I think he could do quite well guarding most 3's in the league even at his size.

| If he can make his corner threes and free throws, he could become a rotation player for us. |

David Nwaba will be assigned to the L.A. D-Fenders during their D-League playoff run
| Quote: | | Lakers rookie David Nwaba will be assigned to the L.A. D-Fenders to boost their D-League playoff run (source: Mark Medina, L.A. Daily News). Nwaba has been a pleasant surprise in Luke Waltonâs rotation, averaging 7.8 points with 5.5 rebounds over his last four games. Nwaba, who appeared in 40 games for the D-Fenders this season, figures to receive a considerable workload during the D-League postseason. |

| My initial concern was if he could shoot? This kid is a real find. He's like a bonus second round pick level talent before the draft has even taken place. Excellent find by the Laker staff. |

| Had his career high and led the Lakers in scoring tonight. Luke is starting to trust him down the stretch. He's been a godsend defensively. This time it was against a playoff team. A choking playoff team, but still a playoff team. |

The Clippers had just dribbled their shot clock out....so Nwaba would've looked bad shooting after that. |

That's how talented players become stars... By playing with the same hustle less talented players tend to play with. I really hope they're gonna get it. |

We have to start him. With him and Ingram on the wing, our defense is much better.
Zubac, Black
Randle, Nance
Ingram, JJ/Tatum
Nwaba, Clarkson
Russell, Ennis
If we trade Russell and the top 3 pick plus Deng's contract for Westbrook, and Ingram for PG, it would become:
Zubac, Black
Randle, Nance
George, Brewer
Nwaba, Clarkson
Westbrook, Ennis |

His jumper isn't broken by any means either. Although there's something off about his stroke and I'm not sure what. |

Nwaba has been very legit, it's almost unheard of a d-league player who's called and is so effective from the field while playing in the perimeter, shooting 57% with 0.4 turnovers and 3.2 rebounds on 18.8 minutes with good defense?
I'll take that everyday
Very nice to see him hit a couple of outside jumpers yesterday, good signs |

His form is solid but he needs more arc on his shot. |
