Coming off the bench now, and killed it tonight with 5 points on 2-10 shooting. He only really scores against the worst defensive teams in the league. And his consistency is role-player-esque. One good game, four bad games, etc.
His value is likely still decent. Wonder what they could get for him?
Spurs could make an all star out of him.

He's been ordered to be the Tank Kommander.
He's following in his mentors footsteps.
Sure, he isn't at .345 shooting % yet, but I mean cmon give the kid a break he's not Kobe Bryant.

He's just way too slow and physically, he's not strong enough to bully shorter players.
Yes. Which means they won't :lol

He is young still, only 21. I would give him at least another year or two. Its a bit premature to say hes a bust. Scoring 15 on 40% and a steal PG is not bad for a 21 year old fairly unathletic player. He can get bigger and stronger, and quicker. The problem I see with him is that I am not sure he really wants it.

Draft Ball, trade Russell/Clarksen to a team for Monk.
Ball/Monk is elite backcourt going forward.

I think we will keep Druss
40 against the defending champs shows he can play.
He is not a real PG though ... combo guard that needs a real, athletic PG to help him where he struggles.

You cannot develop him. He's where he will be skill-wise for the next 5 years unless he gets a real shooting coach and some athletic trainers not named Gary Vitti.

Gave up 46 on the other end. :lol
He's a decent player and maybe a fringe all-star in the right environment, but the Lakers are going to get some more welfare lottery this season, probably yet another top 3 pick, meaning their youth movement is going to be congested to all Hell. Russell, Clarkson, Ingram, Randle, (top pick). This is definitely a good thing if the Lakers are willing to trade, but a clusterfuck if not. Who are the role players on this unit? Who are the top 3? Not knowing such just makes player and system development a more difficult task. I like moving D'Bust because PGs are at a premium and if Ingram, Randle, Clarkson, Top 3 pick develop faster and/or prove to be more valuable, D'Bust will never accept being a role-player.

if we could get value i would trade him ...
And no he didnt give up 46 same as he didnt drop 41 on Kyrie
They werent always matched up on each other ...
I really dont care if he is an all star...if he stays he needs to improve so at the very least his trade value increases. Again Lakers need BPA

What the hell? Lakers were playing him as a PG? WTF were they doing, of course he was gonna be a crappy PG. He's clearly a SG like a Kobe. Play Clarkson at PG and Russell at SG, with Randle at PF, Ingram at SF and Mozgov at C and you have a team. Metta off the bench.

Never thought he was a franchise player in fact mid is right, best case is fringe all star and with all the good guards in the NBA that is doubtful ...but i dont think he is a bust just mildly disappointing.
I think Randle may be the "bust" ...not that he is that bad but i think Russell and especially Ingram have upside still ...randle really has to show an improved jumper and a off hand for me to change my mind.

Magic wasn't a scorer until 85 or so.
Kobe wasn't a scorer until the league changed the rules to make life easier for a perimeter player.

Yeah, probably...Hope not though. Kind of like I openly wanted Okafor, but they surprisingly didn't draft him - despite Clarkson having a good rookie season. Maybe they fool me again by drafting Fultz? I know, wishful thinking...
I read somewhere Luke, Magic and D'Bust were actually at a UCLA game checking him out. SMDH
