    If THT can get that shot to go down at lets say 35%, he will be the 4th best player on the team.

    Cool compilation. Odd and annoying speaking cadence and inflection. Was thinking how uncomfortable would it have been around here giving props to our own @OX1947 for his great debut with the first pod cast for Lakers Fast Break, and having “read” him all these years …. if his voice and delivery had sounded like that?

    His finishing at the rim is insane; jumper still…ehhhh….

    even if he’s just Tyreke Evans minus drugs, it’s a win.

    Definitely looks leaner. Hopefully that won't hurt with him absorbing contact on his drives.

    He’ll be too quick for them now, but could also mean drawing more fouls. Could help his defense too.

    He came in his first year with good size but a bit doughy. When you see a player progressively improve their body, it tells you they're working. To me that's a positive sign - I remember when Randle got in really good shape and the consequent improvements that came from him.

    I think we can expect THT to have the same creativity and athleticism creating and attacking the rim, but we should see his lateral quickness and endurance improve - helping quite a bit with defence. If he becomes a lockdown defender and a secondary creator - that's a very valuable player.
