Where are the haters now?

Followed up with 21/5 and 2 steals. With one monster dunk.

Could see him be a 25/5/5 guy in his prime with bigger responsibility.

bro, he had a good game, but he's not gonna give you the kobe statline on a nightly basis

Not Kobe level good but he has the tools to average that.

Really bad night for “Cam Reddish is way better than THT” crowd.

THT 21-5 ast
Cam 0-2 reb

Guy is averaging 12 points his last 5 games and 11 for his last 10 games and shooting around 20% from 3 on that period lol

Also, has a 48% ts for the season.

Those are dreadful numbers

Yeah Reddish is a bad defender. Decent scorer though but had an off night

One guy on the Hawks' bench nearly celebrated THT's dunk

Good thing he caught himself or he would have ended up like the Hawks bench when Bird scored 60, who were reportedly fined by Coach Mike Fratello :lol:

I see he had a good game again, so lakers' Stans have to bump the thread like they are willing us to believe that this kid is good. Stats over the last ten games tell us otherwise.

Needs at least the rest of the season to see whether he's worth anything at all, but he looks very streaky, and when he's bad he's abysmal.

Did THT slam dunk on you or somthing ? -2 isn’t bad he didn’t turn it over and defended well…

Over the last 5 games, since the Lakers have gone small and had proper floor spacing -

59% True Shooting
115 offensive rating
2.57 to 1 ast/to ratio
12.5 pts 3.5 ast 3.5 reb in 24 minutes

But sure let’s judge THT all those games he had Jordan’s corpse and Rondo with no one within 12 feet of him out there sharing the floor.

He’s barely 21 and 21 year olds are typically inconsistent. You are just looking for the glimpses of what the finished product can be and you see those in THT.

Honestly these attacks on him are the exact same that these Laker haters hammered Ingram with at this age. Now that he’s left the Lakers and has matured into the player all us Lakers fans knew he would be…quickly they have all jumped on BIs bandwagon.

They will do the same with THT at 25 years old also. Honestly it’s the increased floor spacing and pace that has been why he’s been so much better the last 5 games.

Did y’all see that dunk!? How about that 3 pointer he made ? Ooh wee. Now give us Jerami Grant for him

You need win-now pieces though. If anything he bumps his trade value and someone bites. No good him being good 4 years from now considering your current roster make-up.

How is it no good? I dont want to be the worst team in the league in 2 years. He can get better through the season and be a contributor this year, then in 2-3 years be a key piece. Those aren't mutually exclusive.Unless the Bucks are willing to trade Middleton for him, then I'm up for that.

Actually both guys are way overvalued by their casual fans. Some Hawks fans consider Cam untouchable as far as a trade.

That hesitation and length going to the basket. That + ability to draw fouls is what gives him superstar potential.

It's something you just can't teach.
