    I know he had a thread somewhere. Maybe a title change for the birthday boy and hopefully a camp invite

    I think he stepped up, played hard and well and helped get that title. Props Vander, even if the title of this old thread Kareem dug up will freak people out. And happy birthday!

    Scared the crap out of me when I saw this title. We need a real backup PG and 2 guard is full up.

    I'll pass on him. We would have been better off with Nwaba who's less of a ball stopper. Blue missed a wide open Zubac in several occasions yesterday's game.

    Oh wow I read this as "Lakers sign Vander Blue to 2 way contract" and I was happy for him.

    Vander might get a camp invite, but I think he still needs the G-League. I don't know if he's ever played this way for an extended period of time. I want more proof from him that he's willing, capable, and excited to play this brand of ball. I think at best he's an end-of-bench guy, but I do wish him luck.

    He may not be a fit for the Lakers' current roster, but I don't see how you can be MVP of this league and not get any interest from a pro team.

    I think a camp invite woul be nice for him and the rest of the champs like Thomas and Ware. He got better as SLV progressed and became a Lonzo disciple.

    ...summarizing Blue's court awareness:

    Pope...Clarkson...Hart. No room for him.

    Glad he came around in summer league, but he's a G-League lifer. He has one skill, scoring, and at the NBA level it isn't good enough to stick.

    I'm sure another team will give him a shot.

    But as of now, we have Pope and Clarkson who will be playing a majority of the time at at 2.
