not sure if some of you guys are watching these games but thought i'd create one anyway. few quick impressions. thon maker looks pretty damn good, very athletic, strong motor. simmons reminds me of rajon rondo this dude is afraid of wide open jumpersand well, ingram made a strong impression, great defensive instinct (damn you mid)...Zubac is a ing steal
buddy hield is trash
ingram vs simmons tomorrow at ESPN, 8:30 pm fwiw...
Looking forward to seeing Ingram vs Simmons. Ingram is a much better defender than I thought. His wingspan is sick. He needs to gain 25-30lbs though.
so far no surprises for me
Really? I thought Kay Felder is a steal.
I have sop re impressions as well, D'Angelo Russell and Mudiay looks really good. I think Russell will have an All Star season...
i can't even...
You can't even what?i can't even...
reply.. because it's so sad it's almost endearing..
Are you usually this emotional about a prediction?
it's not about a prediction.. it's about the courage it takes to make that prediction.. really empowering
He's a laker fan bro...which means that's not really courage but just sheer delusion, tbh
i know, but he too must have actually seen the guy play and be ridiculed the whole season while showing absolutely 0 potential.. i mean it's not an opinion, come on.. and how is he going to be an all star, is he going to get more votes than harden and chris paul? i meanHe's a laker fan bro...which means that's not really courage but just sheer delusion, tbh
What's so empowering about it? Do you even know what it means. I never said he'll make the All Star team
Comprehension issues much?i know, but he too must have actually seen the guy play and be ridiculed the whole season while showing absolutely 0 potential.. i mean it's not an opinion, come on.. and how is he going to be an all star, is he going to get more votes than harden and chris paul? i mean
he still needs a lot of work, he bulked up a bit and he was posting guards last night with ease but he's a lot more confident this year that's for sure.
I think he'll have a very good sop re season but nowhere near an all star caliber season, fwiw.
im actually excited with zubac and nance going forward, gotta credit mitch for always picking up gems in the second round (Clarkson, nance and zubac) of course its SL but they look pretty decent nonetheless
has sick handles for a guy his size though
Was watching Simmons the other day. Didn't look like he could finish at the basket. Had to rely on getting fouled.
Recent scout on him
You see him troubleshooting how to be a scorer. He gets to the basket but doesn't seem have a plan when he gets there. He's also getting accustomed to playing again (hadn't played much for about three months) and learning that even summer league pros have consistent quickness and length he didn't see at LSU. His jumper looks smooth, though he's indecisive about taking it. The lefty tried a couple of right-handed runners in traffic, though none found the mark. He doesn't take many shots in a crowd. In general, scoring is a work in progress.
I understand being cautious but Russell will be the lead guard for the Lakers. His usage will increase and he's finally going to run a system that gives the ball up more rapidly. The Lakers ranked 29th in offensive efficiency, I won't be surprised if they drop to 15th under Walton's free flowing scheme.
I read that he was 6'2" as a HS Freshman then had a 7" growth spurt. So he's comfortable handling the rock. I don't expect CP0 type handles, but he should be able to bring the ball up the court and facilitate a li'l bit.has sick handles for a guy his size though
What you think of Zubac? I read a lot of M. Gasol comparisons, he looks legit tbh.
Marqueze chriss already went on some white dleaguers poster

how's dragan bender?
I like him, but I need to see him play against real NBA bigs. Those players last night will be lucky to make the practice squad somewhere.
I want to see him vs. Adams' length/size, or take an elbow by Dwert, or go against Anthony Davis' athleticism, or LMA's versatility. I want to see him in P&R having to guard Steph, or CP0, or Lillard in a pinch. How will he react to these situations that will inevitably occur?
His low post defense looks legit, but what about his perimeter D? This will determine how much PT he gets. Luke likes to switch everything on D.
He's only 19 and already has a good base, but he's a rook and will go through growing pains. Lots of Laker Fans are already comparing him to a young Marc Gasol. I'm just hoping he grows into a player. I like what I am seeing though.
