    That he;d be making them in practice as that is a possible reason why he got as much playing time as he did last season.

    Maybe why he's been getting SWOL this summer in the Lakers weight room. Damn ball last year was too heavy for him to handle NBA 3pt line? Or he is Sasha 2.0?

    I don't hate many Lakers. I pretty much never use that term. But I hate Anthony Brown. I just can't stand him. Sorry.

    The difference is that even THOSE practice shooters shot a respectable percentage from 3. A. Brown throws more goose eggs than... a goose egg thrower. I got nothing.

    He's almost as good as Sasha. In practice, of course. Sasha was much better overall.

    I'd still take Sasha over him.

    He's better than Huertas, it's not close. If he's healthy he should be the backup PG.

    I agree. He is much more complete of a player than Huertas.

    He is a complete sieve defensively, but so is Huertas.

    However, he is an elite 3-point shooter that can space the floor. The team operates with much better spacing out there on the floor.

    As a result, you can pair him with Russell or Clarkson who can play off-ball and/or probe the defense in open space and utilize Calderón as a spot-up shooter.

    I hope Luke finds a rotation that staggers Russell, Clarkson, amd Calderon together and minimizes Huertas and Willliams during the season.
