I'm really impressed with Lonzo the rebounding is great and I'm really liking his defense. Kuzma has to learn to play through his teammates he has to make sure that the ball goes to all the players.
Simple as this and if people on here don't see it I don't get it. Brandon Ingram is a superstar. I think we need to play through him. when he puts the ball on the floor and dribbles and goes to the basket no one can stop him. when his jumper starts going consistent like it's looking like he'll be a top 15 player in the league. Ben Simmons is great but I'd rather have Ingram. his scoring is great.
Luke has to put a system of Ball Ingram and Kuzma that's how the offense needs to go. I think Luke needs to have Lonzo and Ingram in the backcourt together. I want to see how those guys play together. when they get to where I think they are looking like now. it's gonna be a special team with Lonzo and Ingram Lonzo is playing with more of an edge now which is good. and Ingram more and more is starting to want that role as the guy.
We had Shaq then it was Kobe's team. for a while I thought it was Russells team. and Now this is Ingram's team. Brandon Ingram is the next Lakers Superstar.
it's gonna suck not getting that draft pick this year but hopefully it's 15 and then get a free agent. Lopez it's great having a great NBA center. it's Cousins or Lopez so I might be looking at our center or it's Cousins. I like Bringing Randle back. he's developed into a great defender he plays great basketball. Look if Lebron isn't coming or any of the Magic Superstars then we gotta be real with ourselves as an organization and sign Lopez and resign Randle. this is our squad every game we gotta watch what is good is we are getting better and improving as a team.
Good post. I was in agreement with all of it, but then that last paragraph... lol
Lonzo's defense is under rated. He's playing like a vet on that end at times. His rebounding is fantastic. I just wish he pushed the pace more (like full speed) after he gets a board.
I've also thought BI is a star from day one. Having a hard time getting how some still seem to not see it. I'd also love to see BI next to LB, but more as a look we can throw out there at times. It'll be great to watch and would work great and win us games but might shorten BI's career by a year or two chasing "Ray Allens" around on defense, and could lead to twisted ankles and knees etc. He's not built like a tank, more like a mantis.
The offense absolutely should run through Lonzo, Ingram and Kuzma, I totally agree.
Lopez is worthless on defense. His pick and roll defense is embarrassing. He will never be the starting center on any championship team because of this serious deficiency.
Cousins may have been a head case but he's on a completely different level.
