OK for a back up. NO defense. There was a 17 point spread when he was on the floor rather than off. That is as in negative 17 points. _________________ "In vino veritas, in regno Trumpi licentia" |

So we went from Lonzo Ball to Troy Daniels and Quinn Cook. On the one hand, shooting, but damn... guarding opposing point guards? Went from one extreme to another. |

Maybe he can be that Boobie Gibson , play a situational role as a floor space. Role players with shooting always look better with Lebron. |

Whoa whoa...did you guys watch the finals? He was getting up on folks and giving effort. Is there some advanced stat supporting this or we just disagree on the eyeball test? +\- can be very deceptive |

Damn on one hand we got a true pg but on the other hand I wanted Burke or Holiday rather than Cook.  |

Quinnipiac is the better catch and shoot jumpshooter, but I would've preferred Trey Burke because he is miles superior as a penetrator and shot creator.
The Lakers chose him because of shooting, Burke was the better option here for what they need beyond shooting.
Who will get their own shot on this team beyond James and Davis.
This move shows me they aren't truly into the needs of this team. Yes they need shooting, but they also are severely in need of shot creation abs a guy who can break down defenses. _________________ A creative scorer, a wing defender, and a shooter. |
