Lonzo Ball is a sure fire bust like I said. If you guys want my prospect analysis i'll gladly provide it for you.

I'm never wrong about draft picks except for big man.

OKC’s bench kinda sucks. Can’t expect Brodie, Carmelo, and PG13 to score a combined 70 points every game. There are some free agents who could contribute like Monta Ellis or Leandro Barbosa

Beard/BG MVP. Maybe even Lebby/Kawhi if they beat expectations>>

Watch on YouTube

Crazy how so many bigs are taking to being behind the 3pt line so easily, when guards and wings like Rondo/Wade/Lebs can work as hard as anyone throughout their careers and only see marginal growth

Any of you guys think CP3 was holding Griffin back?

For sure. Griffin can create his own shot as good as anybody at the 4/5 spot. CP3 holding the ball for a full shot clock trying to look for slam dunk assists whether it was an alley-oop or a 3pt attempt rather than just moving the ball didn't help Griffin at all.

Now that most PFs are stretch 4's it's perfect for a physical dude like Blake to play aggressive and force his will.

I tend to agree. I'd wait to see them against stiffer competition than this Lakers team for better assessment but I'm pretty sure that Blake will look comfortable and post better numbers without CP3 this season.

The guy I thought would suffer the most without CP3 was DJ but he got 14/24 lol if he can hit FTs he'll be alright.

Once Patrick Patterson gets back in game shape from the off-sesason surgery he can provide more than 7 mins 0 points but they could definitely use Monta's scoring off the bench. Dakari Johnson looked like he could contribute too. Alex Abrines should be able to do more damage than 3 points in 24 mins. All in all, I think they will be top 4 team in the West as long as the big 3 is in tact.
