Laker’s THT!!

[Slimreaper703]

He passes the eye test looks like he belongs . I would prolly start him

[trickshot]

Been burned too many times by players playing preseason like their NBA finals but he does seem like he'll be a solid rotation piece. At the very least it looks like RIP for Kuzma because he's about to slide further down the pecking order. THT much better shot creator

THT is a guard and Kuzma is a forward.

strange considering kuz has been good both gms himself

you know there is a finite number of possessions in a game right? With Montrez and Schroder shot distribution for the others likely drop, If THT emerges a better creator he too will take away touches from Kuzma. The last 2 games arent representative of the shots everyone will get when AD and Lebron actually play, and no, Kuzma was far from great in the last game.

this thread is meaningless unless THT is a starter. He is pretty good but its preseason so .

THT deserves the game ball tonight

tht is not gona get alot of pt and 2ndly kuz will most likely start when james sits out gms...so you say these gms arent representative but already proclaiming its the end for kuz n the beginning of tht?

Btw, the Laker announcers are God awful omg

Strong criticism coming from someone who has to listen to "if you don't like that you don't like nba basketball"

Naw, billy mac is a huge step down from past Lakers announcers. IDK how we ended up with him, Ireland is better than him

Meyers was great. Wish he had re-signed with warner when they bought the tv rights.
Didn’t that Sacramento guy get fired for some racist tweets?

Kuzma had 11 fgs per game. He wants more?

THT can take part of the 22+ shots that Bradley, Rondo, Green got.

It seems we always overhype a rookie from the G-League every 2 years or so, only to see them get waived or traded away to Washington Wizards for salary cap relief.

I was pretty high on Svi Myhkhailiuk , but never understood those hyping Mo Wagner and Thomas Bryant.

THT honestly looks legit as a ball handling point-forward SO FAR though, so I’m cautiously optimistic. Hyping our players is what we do

Point forward?

The guy is 6’3’-6’4”, he is a guard.

Saying it's RIP is clear hyperbole, what is fact is his usage and touches are going to drop with schroder, Montrez and possibly THT. It's a combination of 2 new players. Lebron won't sit out enough games to impact his overall usage. He isn't getting more shots or usage than the first two. That we can have a friendly wager on

My expectation for him was that he could become a combo guard off the bench. Now we have to recalibrate that to GOAT.

He's only 6'4 but has a 7'1 wingspan. He can play some minutes at SF.

Maybe stop taking every figure of speech literally. No one is asking for an actual bet, "we can bet on it" it's an expression of certainty not some bad dude trying to hustle you

Some of you have a hard on for Kuzma.

THT and Kuzma play entirely different roles on the court. They can coexist.
If anything Caruso (who happens to be injured at the worst time) will be the one to be pushed out the rotation.

Mathews shooting will be needed. Kuzma’s size on the wing will be needed. KCP just got paid. The Lakers have been utilizing THT as a primary ball handler.

If Schroder starts, the odd man out will likely be Caruso.

Yeah...no. Not gonna happen.

2nd rd picks are only bust when you expect to much from them

The Lakers will already be playing a 6’7” center on the second unit. I don’t see the point in playing a 6’3”-6’4” guard at SF on top of that. That second unit would be very small.
