Pretty hilarious, but LaRavia absolutely lit them up.

Well, after this game, he will probably know.

I never watched Laravia before he joined the Lakers. He kinda reminds of prime Antoin Walker. He moves slow, but he's smooth too.

Funniest thing is he got drafted by the Wolves (only techincally though).
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

So you’re telling me LaRavia quieted the Target Center so much that fans could hold crosscourt conversations with the players on the bench?

People killed our FO during summer, but we got a lot of production in those 14M(8 for Ayton and 6 for LaRavia). I know, not the perfect roster, but when you have most of your cap compromissed, u got to be creative.

The Target Center floor looks way better compared to last season. A lot more interesting and unique now.
That Kevin Garnett era logo is the best.

Marcus Smart for cheap too - this team will be dangerous if everyone's healthy come playoff time. They probably won't make too many trades because of their 2027 plans, but don't sleep on this team. They have 3 all-stars.

Don’t feel bad about not knowing who he was before signing with the Lakers. I guess not even NBA players pay attention to role players in markets like sac and mem.

Ant is hilarious. One of a kind. I hope he heals up, the season isn’t the same without him

Can we just start calling him JLR here? Old farts like me are just too lazy typing Jake LaRavia. :wink:

LaRavia is a perfect replacement for DFS, very similar players and LaRavia still has upside. Can shoot the 3 and defend, I loved the signing for the Lakers. Great move by Pelinka.

Only turns 24 next week. Highly versatile player who nobody seems to know even though he was a top 20 pick in the draft. Definitely a redraft type of guy. Shocked the Kings didn’t try and retain him.
