His athleticism does pop a bit on those shot blocks. He crosses his feet some but his first reaction is the slide, which I like. Great defensive posture and energy.
Another gem for the Lakers? So great to see these young guys get a shot with us Now if he does develop can we hang onto him?
wow, that scouting report is...extensive. and...not very favorable? anyway, one thing that is emerging is we definitely have a new type we're looking for. this is another guy (like laravia) who basically took zero midrange shots last year (if i read correctly), is a connector type on offense who can handle and pass ok, good cutter, aggressive defender/ball hawk. we're trusting we can bring his shot around (can we use new ownership money to get the very best shooting coach team in the league, plz?). i like the general theory and that we're broadly executing it. we try it enough we're bound to hit on one, right?!
Might be the most words ever typed about an undrafted guy. We were able to boost Goodwin's J. That's what kept him bouncing around. Maybe that's the proof of concept. But yes, as soon as that check clears i want multiple shooting coaches. One who specializes in each section of the floor.

he's got legit nba sg size (basically max's size but not quite as long). he's got more defensive dawg in him than max, but nowhere near the offensive chops that even 19 year old max had. he's a project.
