Rating the free agent signings early edition

WindyCityLakerFan

Lebron Grade A+. signing the best player in the league can’t argue with that

Javelle Mcgee Grade A. Pleasant surprise 14, 7 and 4 blocks on vet minimum

Rondo Grade A. 13 and 10 57 percent shooting

Lance Stephenson Grade C. Decent defense fine when he plays within the offense but goes into ball stopper mode

Michael Beasley Grade incomplete. Not enough minutes to see how he fits in

KCP Grade F. Second year in a row he’s come out the gates slow. The highest paid next to Lebron 5 point per games shooting 27 percent

We will see how this progresses down the road

I would give Lance higher than a C. He has provided energy, is a good team mate, plays hard, takes care of the ball, good rebounder, and his D has been better than decent. I would love to see his FT and 3 PT %'s improve. We shall see in the coming games how valuable he is to the team.

Lance hasn't been bad but I still hate the signing. We had more pressing needs than another non-shooting guard.

Below F for kcp
How can anyone start that bum over Hart?!

Javale is getting paid rookie money and he’s been looking like Wilt Chamberlain out there

He gets an A+ from me

Rondo - 10/10
Javale - 10/10 for what he brings and his role
Lance - 7/10 - Some days you'll love him, others you want him GONE.
KCP - 1/10 - Just terrible
Beasley 0/10 - I am not hopeful for anything for him

Man if we had 2 Javales and the KCP we were hoping for we maybe could be 2-0 right now .. or not

Just a thought

KCP has been the biggest disappointment considering his salary and his production. Hart should easily be starting over him.

No need grading for Bron

Rondo is a solid pickup for an 1 year deal. Same with McGee.

KCP is overpaid but thats the price with working Klutch then dunno if we can get better player with 1 year deal.

Lance was bad pickup we already knew that.

Didint see much of Beasley but then we alreaday has Kuzma so we dont need him but for that salary it doesnt hurt.

Rondo — B. He has been good on offense, but my eyeball test says that he has been problematic on defense. I am not a good enough Xs and Os guy to feel confident in my own eyeball test on defense, as his issues on defense may be caused by breakdowns elsewhere. Also, I think you have to account for what happened last night. At a time when Ball is still on a minutes restriction, Rondo just got stupid and exposed himself to a potentially long suspension.

McGee — A. I can’t believe this is Javale McGee. I wonder whether the stuff with Shaq actually benefited him by making him pull his head out of his posterior. If he had played with this much maturity his whole career, he’d be regarded as one of the better big men in the league.

Beasley — C. He is about what I expected. I’m sure that he will show some flashes this year.

Stephenson — B-. I may be in a small minority here, but Stephenson has exceeded my expectations.

Casey P. — C. He deserves an F based on his salary, but that’s a different story. As I said in another thread, perimeter guys are overpriced on the market right now. He has been ice cold in the first two games, but I’m not going to crucify him for that. I’m more concerned with the fact that he has struggled to get into the flow.
