Would love to see him dedicate himself to defense this offseason. If he becomes a good defender, I think your looking at a top 20 player in about 3-4 years.

I'm not sure how injured Ball and Ingram is but if the point is to give people a lasting impression and excitement for the upcoming future the Lakers are failing. I'm not sure what the executives are doing but they are failing at capitalizing on the hype that they started. It's like a promoter that pushes an event but gets preoccupied and doesn't get enough booze.

Lakers would be smart to re-sign this man to a 2 or 3 year deal for cheap. He’s an effective stretch 4 and a great locker room guy and leader. Won’t ever complain about minutes or role. Perfect for the young kids on the team.

Ingram and Ball are both hurt. It's not great, but it is what it is. Are they being 'extra extra careful'? Possibly. There's not alot to gain, and not alot to lose here at the end. A couple extra wins woulda been nice, and pleased the fans...but little else. The stars in this league can see the team, and know what they're getting into.

He needs to polish his footwork and better handles too. Sky is the limit

Good player though
Because he can't make them.

surely the percentage of him making an open midranger is higher than him doing 50 olajuwon moves?

I'm still not used to all the awkward, off-balance shots he takes. And it would be nice if he ever did develop a decent jumper, if only as a complementary tool. But he's at 73 percent around the rim, which is elite. In contrast, he's way below average in every range beyond that -- 3 to 10 feet, 10 to 16 feet, 16 feet to 3-point line, 3-point range. So yeah, it's a no-brainer as to what kind of shots you want him taking at this stage of his career.
