Well, at least he's working unlike last Summer.

I wish other players not only on our team, but around the league would show glimpses of their workouts from time to time.

Lance posted a few more videos of todays workouts at Impact basketball in Las Vegas. Seems determined to work his ass off this Summer. His feet still hardly leave the ground on his jumper. Oh well. As long as it goes in that's all that matters I guess.

Would you do Calderon and Tim Hardaway for Lance and Pick 39.

Calderon has 2 more years at 7.5mil

I'd rather make Lance part of a package to move up to #4. Not sure we have the ammunition to do it, but something centered around:

#9
Lance
Zeller

And Myles Turner and Ryan Anderson, who I'd say are persons of interest.

I'd rather see him working on catch and shoot 3's... His and the teams biggest weakness. Less dribbling more shooting.

Can you imagine how deadly we'd be if MKG and Lance were legitimate threats to score on the catch? We'd have guys 1-3 that can either take it to the rim or create space with their jumpshooting. Teams are going to dare us to shoot it we need to start making them pay for it. If we start doing that combined with our defensive versatility we might finally be able to win 50 games again. God I want to see that so bad....

Lance's workout footage looks like something I could do at a YMCA. Other than the dunks, of course.

Be hard for me to shoot a 3 flat footed though.

Hope he keeps posting the footage. I have high hopes for him this season.

Aww come on. That's like me saying I can do everything Zeller do except the dunks and fall on my back every contested layup.

Lance is working hard to get back where he was. I just hope he find some confidence and consistency in his 3pter because that'll go a long way. He's gonna still be that idiot that showboat and turn the ball over but if he can shoot decent then I say we pick up his 2016 option easily.

I think he can get his shooting back up to where it was at indy, that's not a problem. Him and Walker Co existing in the back court is the problem

If he get his shooting back up to contract year in Indy Lance then Kemba and him shouldn't have much of a problem coexisting.

Lance could shoot 40% from three and still not fit well with Kemba. I understand that folks want it to work out, but the odds are strongly against it at this point.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody
