    Because he hasn’t played

    Someone mentioned Caruso. Kinda forgot about him too. If you aren’t on the floor, you’re not the focus of what’s going on.

    Unless you get technicals like Cousins.

    Ah sry not really an emoji guy. I guess I get why people like them though.

    I do tend to be too literal, so I’ll keep that in mind when reading your posts. Part of the curse of being a numbers driven guy is missing undertones of sarcasm.

    Yah you will need to be on your toes around here. People tend to be pretty good with indicating when tongue in cheek or sarcastic. Sometimes will not appear that way to others who don't know them. BTW, bottom left of the bar at bottom has a Style Chooser, check it out. And as well if you don't mind trying to read and type all while watching the Lakers play basketball .... Game Time is a lot of fun. Top bar, or on your phone the little horizontal lines on right side of "Forums" contains the link. Watch out for Zen, always all over Luke's a** for his coaching.

    And there is OX .... the guy is always wishy washy ....never a solid opinion on anything.

    He's on rehab assignment with the Lakers' AAA team in the minor leagues ;). 21 minutes 1st game a couple days ago. Next game is Saturday.

    I think fans expecting too much from a rookie late first round pick could be setting themselves up for failure on the happiness front.

    He’ll be too weak to make any difference this year IF he gets healthy. Running so much gives him a shot to be reasonably productive on offense, but in the half court I expect he’ll get dominated badly.

    He will do better than Williams with his size for one and his much more skilled game. So that is a net plus any way you slice it.

    Moe gives us size that we desperately lack right now. We haven't seen much or really anything at all from him but we do know he plays with high energy. Him, Lance and Hart could change the tide of a game by making those hustle plays. And hopefully he brings some much needed shooting to this team.

    He's on rehab assignment.

    I have a feeling he'll get a real shot at minutes based on necessity since we can't keep using Williams without risking his 2-way contract maxing out.

    eh, zu's bigger and more skilled, too. williams earned minutes with his energy and back line mobility on d. mo plays hard, but he's pretty slow, too.

    i'm with anon: i don't expect much from him this year.

    I would argue that Wagner is very similar athletically to Williams and works just as hard. The difference is Williams is stronger right now than Wagner, but running the floor and speed are not advantages for Williams over Wagner. One of Wagner's strengths is his ability to change ends and get out and push.

    Doesn't seem like a better bet than Williams? We'll see soon enough once the rust is off. Give him a few games.

    And hopefully, unlike Zubac who's arms look no bigger after 3 years, while Moe could not play any contact ball and whatever other limitations on his lower body training ..... he was in the weight room working hard with every part of his body that would allow, certainly his upper body. What else would he have been saving his energy for? He has a good frame on him. Smart player and a competitor. Talks out there. Sometimes it's too much with the smack to opponents but we all love that right?

    I’m glad to have him back. He will probably pick up 4 fouls in 5 minutes but he’ll play hard out there, the whole time. Needs to get his wind and timing back. He isn’t the solution to our center problem but hopefully can be a stopgap measure.
