Come on, do you really not see how much Laker's spacing and offensive flow looks out there with Gasol instead of Drummond? It's night and day. Gasol actually moves the ball, meanwhile Drummond is a blackhole.

I do agree that the way the Lakers are trying to run their offense through Drummond is incredibly dumb. I have absolutely no clue why they aren't using him the way they used McGee & Howard.

Serious question - Is he even possible of being used like McGee or Howard on offense? Has he ever been a vertical threat like that?

Yes.

I mean...most of Dre's minutes have come against Jokic while most of Gasol's have come against McGee....slight difference there. But yes, Marc hit 2 wide open 3s because Denver isnt guarding him. Give the man a MVP trophy!

If Drummond isn’t given a superstars workload on offense he will stop trying altogether. Trust me, Drummond views himself as the second best player on this team when it’s at full strength. He thinks he’s better than AD.

Drummond if he played his role could probably be a boarderline top 100 NBA player but he genuinely thinks he’s one of the 10 best players in the league despite having little to no skill and he drags everyone down with him. Because of this he’s more like the 300th best player in the league.

I do agree that the way the Lakers are trying to run their offense through Drummond is incredibly dumb. I have absolutely no clue why they aren't using him the way they used McGee & Howard.

Yes.

Somehow I don't buy it, he's never had the hops like Howard or McGee. His finishing around the rim is pretty bad. But I guess time will tell, the Lakers seem determined to keep on playing him.

I agree he should be used on offense like McGee & Howard. But again does Drummond accept that role? He's never done it before that I can recall. He wanted his in Detroit and did the same in Cleveland. I said in previous post I thought Lebron and AD would get through to him. There's still time before the playoffs, so there's hope.

It looks like Jokic against the World out there.

How did Millsap become a DNP so quickly, especially with all these injuries?

His knack to get to the cup without being overly athletic can't be denied.

Then sit him. Vogel literally would pull Dwight immediately when he went off script and Dwight 10x more accomplished....dont know why Dre would be getting any special treatment.
