    Not worried at all. He's still playing fearlessly, and that's incredible to see in a 20 year old with limited games. Dude is relentless. He has so much energy and gives it 100% every time he steps on the floor. Even if he misses, he knows it's part of the game; the shots will fall eventually as long as you keep playing hard.

    Don’t make me get a blender out and make orange juice with you. Do they have orange juice in Temecula?

    I just don't think he'll get consistent minutes. Too many vets on the Lakers and as much as I like THT, it's tough to justify him getting more minutes than proven vets. On the bright side, it will lower his market value so Lakers can match the lower offers. I fully expect him to get an increased role next season.

    Maybe they're limiting his minutes so they can re-sign for cheap.

    But its a crowded and productive backcourt right now. Its a long season THTs turn will come hope he stays ready

    Stick and carrot? He had 2 games in a row kind of forcing things, not shooting well and turning it over. No biggee. Frank and everyone will keep his confidence up. As if he needs that. Dude seems fearless.

    He's a 20 year old with a lot of talent but not a ton of experience. He'll get there. The future is bright ahead!

    Oh yes. Got a bag of some good ones when I finished a construction landscape job up in the hills. Juicy and delicious.

    One of his old Iowa State teammates talking about how THT is nowhere near his ceiling

    i believe someone previously posted about this a month or two back, not sure if it was bird right’s or something to that effect...(idk much about technical rules and rights for player contracts)

    im just talking worst case scenario and out of my a** here, but is there any concern that THT could pull a harden if he is unhappy with the lack of PT overall this season? what is our situation/stance if it ever came to that?

    Good to see THT out there again at last! Played really well in the first half helping to blow the game open.
