    He got off to a really good start against GS. Stayed engaged on both sides of the ball and got to where he wanted. I like the idea of pairing him with Nunn off the bench. We have so many guard options, I'm really curious as to how it's all going to shake out. These are ready easy decisions for Ham when half the guys are sitting and DS was stuck overseas.


    That's an easy assignment for him in terms of focus. Ham can tell him to stick with Curry (the best you can) and most the work was done with Curry having the ball. It's off ball that concerns me.

    I wonder if Ham is thinking of Bron back at the 4 again, and using all his little peeps for D.

    Looked really sharp with the starters. Impressive jets on him when he gets downhill.


    Please don't be a typical Lakers injury.

    He's looked good.

    Hope is injury isn't serious.

    Mild is what? 1-3 weeks usually. Which falls perfectly in the "2 weeks away" Lakers go to timeline.


    Yep. Same one.

    He'll get mins on his athelticism alone. We need that activity out there on both ends of the court.

    Very encouraging based on Laker injury history

    give him cred, his shot looks nice and just as athletic as Monk if not more so

    similar springs to monk, but stronger without losing any quickness/burst. monk's obviously the superior shooter. i like lonnie's defense better so far, though.

    My take too a couple pages back with the similarities and advantages he has with Monk, while still being a guy with the versatility and speed and skills to get wherever he wants and be able to get a decent shot off. And got mocked :( :swear: by @ZenMaster with my offense comparison saying Lonnie's nowhere close. Well if he knocks down shots he's a better all around player seems to me.

    i view them as similar in total value. different skill sets, both best suited to a bench/5th starter type role.

    One of the few bright spots so far, I hope the injury isn't serious.
