LMA looking like a bust

[2centsworth]

Eerily reminiscent of Richard Jefferson's start here.

No.

[SpursFan86]

wonder if we can trade him back for Splitter? need to cut our losses, tbh..............

[SupremeGuy]

I'm just waiting to see if you get any bites, tbh.

[BillMc]

Guy's getting boards, playing good d, shots will fall. Even if they don't, he's a big upgrade over Splitter.

[wtgspurs]

I was never excited about him joining our Team. We needed a player like Monroe.

I guess I did!

Did LMA turn down your daughter also?

Takes 1 year to pick up the o
He is doing fine

Yeah, just look how much he's helped Milwaukee

[RayTdropout]

expected more but it's to be expected now that KL is the man on this team

A lot of fans will focus on LMA's raw FG%, but it's not really an issue since he only takes 13.6 shots per game. He's 0.9 made shots away from 50% . That's not going to have much of an impact. He's also very efficient from the line (85%), something we couldn't count with Splitter game-to-game. He's a better rebounder, more versatile defender (although Splitter excelled in certain matchups, like against the Grizzlies), and he fits the offense better (spacing was with Splitter + Duncan). Kawhi and Tony's offense right now wouldn't be the same if Splitter was still here. If any player is busting, it's Danny Green.

You can't be serious. Please tell me this is a parody of some kind.

[ElNono]

Better than Randle, tbh

Also worth pointing out is that our top 5 man units all feature LMA:

He would look better if he was making his jump shot at a % that was even near what he shot in Portland, tbh..that's the biggest difference in the results, so far IMO..massive decline in %s on jump shots..

His post game looks awful, though, waste of a possession..hopefully his lift and quickness will improve as he(ideally) continues to shed the San Antonio weight..

I'm not really worried, though, way too early to judge players, both positively and negatively..November is rarely an indicator of future results in the NBA..

He probably also has to get used to playing this hard on both sides of the ball, as well. Fortunately, his defense has grown here more than his offense has regressed. He was never this good on the defensive end in Portland (helps to play alongside Duncan and Leonard, but he's showing a lot of energy on that end).

His offense is the least of my worries right now. Danny Green and Parker's consistency (is it fool's gold?) are my main concerns going forward.

Lol not even close to RJ level.

As others have said, can't complain too much about him so far. His defense has been really good.

AS long as LMA doesn't choke away a le at the line or get out played by Matt Barnes in a game 7 win or go home, he good in my book.
