From Knoxville TN... You guys are welcome! Don't be too hard on him when he has a bad game or 2. He's ice cold and he's gonna be great for LA. GO VOLS!!!
This NBA Rookie is special, he could've broken the record for the most 3-point of a rookie but he only tied it. He can only go UP from here, but imagine if he hit that last three and went for 40?!! 😭🙏🏿
Don't do that. He's definitely not Klay Thompson. Yes, he's an elite shooter, but his ceiling is more JJ Redick. An athletic one with more shot opportunities. I, as a Lakers fan, would want nothing more than for him to be a Klay Thompson carbon copy, but I have to be honest. Prime Klay Thompson was fkn LETHAL. On both ends of the court, mind you. It's unreal just how automatic he was.
Don’t say that now! That’s a lie! We could have had Tatum and Jaylen brown!! They finally got it right this time! Did you forget Jhs last year! I can’t stand we hear the myth of the lakers scouting department Good we got one, Finally
Ok pipe down but Lebron excels when he has good shooters and it helps AD as well they need to trade Dlo for a good defensive guard and lakers are contenders or a center that can bang low and grab rebounds when AD gets tired
lmao chill out bud, if he does this for the rest of the season and the playoffs while also getting assists and boards nonstop then he will still only just be on par with LeBron and AD
The Gift that keeps giving!! Now for SamuRue to be the mean, physical and toughest defender in the league!! I wish SamuRue becomes like Draymond Green or Udonis Haslem but with the shooting and finesse that he has.
The STEAL OF DRAFT. ROTY. How he fell to 17 is gonna be something that will be talked about for a long long time. Not even 15 games in and he's a legit starter and very Klay Thompson like and could get blazing hot from 3. Lakers got there guy. Star in the making!
Truly thought this dude was a Top10 pick at least, saw him cook a bit in the Summer League games in Vegas, SEC Player of the Year really dropped down to us ??? Man what a steal for us !! 🤙🏽💯💯
Brooo! I had to look him up after this. Turns out he grew up where I did! Thornton CO (born in North Dakota) I’m surprised I haven’t heard of him. He was born 01. So a few years after me. Played against his HS Prairie View in our conference. That’s cool tho good for him
No joke I dropped my phone recently and my screen has seen better days and I 100% thought that was AD with the block and then running the floor. They somehow look way more alike than I ever would have thought possible its kinda weird
This man is the best lakers draft pick since at least Andrew Bynum and might be the best since Kobe if he keeps this up. He's a natural three level scorer and his defense can be improved through coaching. I am so stoked he fell to LA. It's like someone reincarnated Gail Goodrich. He will be a mainstay laker for many years.
I can't believe 16 other teams passed on this guy. I really hope he stays a Laker for his whole career. Us Lakers fans have been dreaming of a shooter like this for decades, and we finally got him.
The Lakers have been starving for an outside shooter to unpack the defense around the bigs under the basket. It looks like they may have their floor-stretcher. This kid makes great cuts & drives also. We'll have to watch to see if he can sustain this.
Lakers really hit a jackpot if his age is 19 or 20 he won't be available in that 17th spot i bet lol. he really plug and play player, can shoot, can drive and also doesn't need the ball much to be effective
