    his defensive metrics are bonkers - lakers would have the #2 rated defense based on his minutes. On the non-smart minutes they are bottom 8 or something.
    Way too dependen on a 32 yo with injury concerns.

    They need another defender who can make 3's desperately

    Based on his athleticism and size, I agree.
    Try him out in Rui’s role for three games or so and see what happens.

    Speaking of Adou .... in Marcus's thread (OK cause it's about D) .... does anyone remember and was impressed in the game before when he got like 3 or 4 minutes, with the steal he made on the opposite side of the court from the camera .... streaking out of nowhere from camera right going left to the hoop when he stole the ball at high speed and went on in for the dunk?

    :ShaqOh2:

    6'8" 235 or whatever!

    Bit hyperbolic of a description in the tweet but still impressive
