    Jake is a starter out or necessity and roster makeup right now, but he’s not an NBA starter. Can’t blame him too much, this isn’t what we was signed for. We need to trade for or sign a legit starting 3, that just is what it is, there isn’t one on this team at this time. For the most part he’s been really good, but yeah nights like this are going to happen.

    Has a propensity to dribble the ball off himself.. Had two makeable treys that he missed. Not that badly IMO.

    This was one of the worst games I’ve seen him play since becoming a Laker. Flush it and move on.

    yeah, i'm not suddenly down him. he had a bad game. he's had plenty of good ones. he's a rotation player i trust in general.

    He’s been pretty bad the last 10 games.23.5% from 3 and 68% at the line.I’ll give him the benefit of doubt of possibly having tired legs at this point in the season.Hopefully he finds his second wind soon.

    Now that I’ve looked at his career stats I will say he probably does have tired legs .Its the most minutes he’s ever played on average and he had only started 6 games his entire career until the 30 he currently has started

    he's 24. he'll be fine as a starter or as a reserve. same effort should take care of that
