Moritz Wagner Discussion: Mo Knows Treys

Love the optimism!

 

But what do you think about the clip? Doubt you have seen it before. As a non-"novice" evaluator of basketball talent unlike many of us what are your takes watching the 6 minutes? If you actually do that. Which is all and what Lakers fans have to go on so far. He's going to be playing with your boy so would think you will care and give up your thoughts.

 

we just need a player with size and hustles. he seems to fit the bill. we are not asking him to be a damn hall of Famer or all star, we just want him to be dependable and give the team energy.

 

I seem to have offended you. Sry

 

Well that aside, yeah cracks like us being novices if we don't think like you think about LBJ, I actually would like your takes on Moe. Do you even give a bleep about anyone else on this team? Start earning your keep with interesting content maybe in your posts on this Lakers forum. Doesn't that make sense to you? Again your Guy chose to come here.

 

I tried to already state my position on him. He is a rookie, and not really built to bang at the position he plays. I think expecting too much too soon of him would be a mistake.

I am trying to think of a similar player that was able to be effective immediately upon entry into the leafue, but I am drawing a blank.

 

Yeah never mind. Thanks for the breakdown. Nothing to think will be useful in that footage that we have not been able to get from our back up center position? You could have said the same generic nothing about Kuzma last year after his sterling SL until he actually showed it against NBA players.

 

Kind of hard to rely on every draft pick becoming the steal of the draft

 

Generic. Never mind. I don't care any more. Call anyone here novices again and it's on.

 

OK, I’m not sure what you were looking for.

Being a fairly tall and energetic guy who can shoot doesn’t necessarily translate into what we need right now. We need interior defense and rebounding. Offense it’s not our issue right now.

 

And my apologies on the novice comment. It was a throwaway word, but I could see how it might offend some.

I just have a hard time believing that NBA fans don’t fully appreciate when LeBron James brings to the table. But to each their own.

 

There you go. Stick to your one and only talking point on this forum so far. The greatness of LeBron.

 

So if you don’t like what a poster has to say about a marginal NBA rookie, you just flame them? Nice.

 

Marginal? Against opposing benches? Why? That's what I'm trying to get out of you instead of generic nothing. I say, you could have said the same thing about Kuzma last year after summer league and you come back with, "Kind of hard to rely on every draft pick becoming the steal of the draft". Who is calling Moe the steal of the draft? Maybe I'm wrong but I was right about Kuzma watching clips of him in college before SL last year and of course after his amazing run during it. "I" am excited because of the size, a lot of the similar same skills (on a bigger player) .... and how he appears to have a similar motor as Larry Nance Jr. But he's bigger and has an offensive game. Defense will come (hopefully) but he has the advantage of being actually a 7 footer rather than short 6'9"-6'10".

 

Even though Moe is a rookie I really believe he can change the dynamic of the game. One thing the opposing bigs will have to respect is his shooting. Moe can stretch the floor and open up the paint just with that skill alone. This game is about spacing and I think he could help just because of his ability to shoot the ball.

I don't expect him to light the world on fire because that isn't really fair to him but I could see him providing a different dimension and dynamic to the team when on the floor.

 

The team could use a shot in the arm. Maybe he’s exactly what we need.
