Well he hasnt played a game yet, but already

-extreme hype
-busted shot mechanics
-soft-spoken/doesnt appear to be an alpha
-pass-first pg when the league is trending toward the opposite
-got outplayed twice and sent home in the tournament by his biggest rival
-doesn't come off like a star
-the likely possibility of Lavar being a distraction/creating team issues

all red flags that could potentially lead to bust status
On the other hand:

- 6'6" point guard
- He is pass first, and the Lakers were almost dead last in assists last year, they need someone to run the offense
- Likes to get out in transition and make things happen
- Funny shot mechanics but is a great spot up shooter and shot 41% from 3 and 73% from two. Granted, we haven't seen ANY midrange game from him yet
- Isn't going to clash with Ingram's development
- Can play next to a good FA signing

- Doesn't come off like a star but he's the hometown hero and has his own shoe :sas1:


He'll be a 14/5/7 player by the end of next year. He's not going to be the end all be all by any means but...that's a good start to me.

I hate the lakers but I'm watching this team every night for 15 minutes for no other reason than to catch the Lavar interviews cause you KNOW they going to have him all up in the camera at Lakers games...

First time he shyts on Randle or Ingram or Walton is gonna be :wow:
