Will TB finally get good minutes for the Lakers? I would love for him to start rebounding and making 3s to shore up his spot as the starting center over Lopez.


Makes some sense

Dec 15th just passed allowing more players to be traded

I hope a trade is in the works


I've watched most of this G League games and I think he's got some upside as a PF in our system. He's got a ways to go on ball handling and doesn't have a great feel for the game yet. He's got most of the tools but is still pretty raw. He had a lot of success down there overpowering guys and was showing some range on his shot.

Zubac has been down there off and on as well. In watching him he's showing a lot more this year over last at that level. He just dropped 26/9/3 with one turnover in 31 minutes. He's showing a good face up game as well as being more forceful at the hoop.

It's so hard to tell much in the G League because the level of competition is a huge drop from the NBA.

I like Zubac but wish he would continue to develop his 3 point shot.

I'm not sold that everyone needs to make 3's. I'd even go so far to say that shooting 3's at 35% is not as good as shooting 65% in the paint.... especially for a big guy.

For me, he needs to get better on the defensive end. He can be very effective in the P&R as well as facing up.
