Making defensive plays, getting offensive rebounds, finishing inside, catching lobs. Snoop was going crazy on the sidelines.

Or they'll at least give them the chances to mess up before finding out if they're worth anything. We'd be wondering 2-3 years in how to integrate players because of egos and some perceived hierarchy that really doesn't exist when it comes to teams without superstars.

His FG percentage is 79% now. He's never really played with another allstar calibre player and I think it's helping him.woosah wrote:GB says Dwight won the lakers the game today. What did he do? Had a dub dub but they made it seem like he went Orlando Dwight at the end of the game. Anyone see?

That's true he played with those players. It looks like he more excepting of his role now and not trying to be the star.J-Mezzy wrote:Dwight was at his best with Hedo running plays for him.

Who knows if we would have had the assets to trade up for Luka... but to think we ended up with Bamba from that draft infuriates me.

admittedly i was low on Young and guy proved me wrong, but what nobody saw comming is crazy upside of SGA.
He isn't really traditional PG, but lenght , athletics and nice insticts make him really good combo guard.
it's frustrating especially because Knicks landed similar player to Bamba in second round in Mitchell Robinson.

Yea, but all there young players are skilled. Nunn, Herro, Duncan & Bam. Nunn was the 2nd best NCAA scorer & best 3P shooter, Herro was compared to Booker, Duncan is a awesome shooter & Bam got a great handle & is a point center.
In our whole rebuild, we drafted one skilled player (Hezonja) and even he was not skilled in the end. He coudn't dribble & his shot looks great but never goes in.
Just check Charlotte, everybody thought they gonna be the worst team in the leaque, but they drafted a lot mid to late 1st rounders with athletic or height defecits, but all are skilled & now can play good offensive ball (Bacon, Monk, PJ., Graham).
I have the feeling the skilled players get it done over the last 2-3 drafts, no matter where they were drafted. Maybe our FO should take a look.
Basketball IQ is lacking, as he doesn't always respond well to double teams ... Finds himself in the wrong place or misses a rotation far too much ... Has not developed much of a back to the basket game ... Does not have a go-to move on the low block ... Poor assist to turnover ratio (0.8 APG/ 1.7 TOPG) ... Is not strong with the ball

It makes you wonder what Luka will be in his prime. He is on a trajectory to be the best player on the planet.

Crazy part about him is that he is actually good defender.
Guy is 20 and given his sucess in Europe he could retire today and be in conversation for HOF
