Danny Green Discussion: Sixer

No 4th quarter minutes? A bit surprising when we needed shooting and defense

 

His minutes have been kind of weird all season .

Vogel want to keep him fresh to shoot 50% from 3 in the Finals

 

Awful shooting lately - fix it, Danny.

 

Overall if you look at the money: he's been not a great signing.
I think you got to see what you can get get for Kuzma and him.

That being said Vogel really seems to be hiding his best lineups (he finally went in the final 2 minutes with Green/Caruso/KCP/Lebron/AD lineup which makes a lot of sense with AB hurt. Best combo of defense and shooting to play around the Lebron/AD PnR)

 

Teams have been on him like Velcro. It's not entirely his fault. Lakers offense would have to try and run the offense to get open shots for him. It's hard to do when you have lebron killing it when he hits the rim and AD killing it in the post.

 

2-17 from 3 the last three games.

This year:
30.6% on 1.4 wide open 3s per game

Last year:
51.5% on 2.5 wide open 3’s per game

1 less open 3/game may be throwing his rhythm off, but that drop in efficiency is inexcusable.

 

We're seeing Green's patented slumps. Hope he finds his shot again to close out the month, gonna need him.

 

Green had SEVERAL wide open 3s today that he missed rather badly. I hope he can pick it up soon - this game was wayyy closer than it should have been because of this.

On a positive note - his defense was still solid and he still spaces the floor for AD/LeBron to go to work so I'm good with him being in a slump.

 

Doesn't mean anything if the team wins. Danny Green was brought to LA for May and June. Plus, he plays defense and is a threat teams flock to which frees up others even in slumps. D3 will be fine.

 

He looks 2 steps slower and less althletic to me. If not for that crazy put back dunk 10 games ago I would be looking for a fork.

Kuzma looks totally lost. I am so disappointed. Was convinced he would be a Middleton or Siakam for us after his stint with Pop and Kerr over the summer. Still time for him. But I don’t see that swag in him when Bron and AD are on the floor.

Kuz needs some time in the detail room with Kobe.

I would also like to see THT get some burn with Bron and AD and AB.

 

Pacing himself.

 

green looks similar to the guy i've seen for years. i don't notice any athletic drop off (he could never stay in front of pgs), and as others have noted, he's a streaky shooter. but we're talking about a guy whose max scoring average is 10. i think he's generally doing his job. he was hitting his threes at 40% for the first month, right?

 

they generally don't look bad. had a couple rattle out on him last night, iirc.

 

You've been warned Danny. Don't piss her off. Nope .... don't wanna go there!

 

I'm thinking of starting a Lakers doom topic with just Laker message board whining.

But I don't have that much time.
