Im just happy to see Mudiay hit a jump shot.

Russell should close this game out, Byron! Wait a minute...

How is Russell and Clarkson doing so far? The stream doesn't want to cooperate with me.

Everyone always looks good at an ASG.

Russell with 22/7 in 16 minutes.
Mudiay with 28/10 in 23 minutes.

Numbers get so inflated due to the horrible defense. lol

Byron must've called, Russell isn't even allowed to finish an ASG :lol:

Russell led the game in plus minus but got the least PT on the USA team. Poor kid can't catch a break. :lol:

I turned it off halfway into the third when they insisted on doing alley oops, open 3s and dunks over and over again. **** this ****. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Even the all star game gets serious towards the late 3rd. These young guys should just go there and compete, especially if they see someone picked ahead of them guarding them. None of them really get a ton of minutes with their regular teams anyways.

Worst part is I think the only reason Marcus Smart got the start is because their both bench players but Smart is a Sophmore and Russell is a rookie.

I don't think that would happen if DLo was a starter.

Russell + Mudiay compared to Smart and Payton for this game.

52 points 17 assists in 41 minutes vs 3 points 5 assists in 38 total minutes.

Talk about a complete 180.

Clarkson is starting to sound like Nick Young too much. Find a different shtick, J Clark.

Kevin Pelton's grades

D'Angelo Russell, Lakers | Grade: A

Stats: 22 PTS (9-15) | 1 REB | 7 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK

Analysis: Russell made the most of his 16 minutes, scoring 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting and handing out seven assists. Alas, spending the fourth quarter on the bench is nothing new for Russell this season.

Jordan Clarkson, Lakers | Grade: B

Stats: 25 PTS (8-20) | 5 REB | 5 AST | 4 STL | 0 BLK

Analysis: In hindsight, Clarkson making four of his first five attempts beyond the arc might have been a negative by emboldening him to fire up nine more 3s, making only one of them.

Other players with A's were Lavine, Mudiay, Porzingis, and Wiggins

Reporter: You didn't play much with JC tonight was that a disappointment to you?
Dlo: No we get to play with each other all....oh wait we don't get to play with each other that much

Lol he def ain't starting after the all star break now.

moonpie · Post #38 » by **moonpie** » Sat Feb 13, 2016 7:36 am

He'll start Game...2 of the Summer League - Byron

Randle is essentially a rookie. i hope they make some sort of exception for him and let him play as a sophomore next year.

Randle was offered Noel's spot when they found out that he's injured and can't play, but turned it down because he already booked a trip to the Bahamas.

LOL at Clarkson, 5/14 from 3 point land, he sure learned something from Kobe this year.

Russell and Booker would make a hell of a backcourt.
