Rob Pelinka Discussion: BBall Ops Pres + GM (AKA: Lucky Rob)

Just think about the number of rebounds in that scenario and the ball being under one hoop for pretty much the entire game. Likely get boring but for one game...lol.

 

So do we know that Klay doesn’t do these things?

I always wanted him here because of the obvious Laker ties and he just so happened to attend a private High School 10 minutes away from where I grew up.

 

I love Klay and saw some interviews with him. Different podcasts already went to his place. He seems really laid back and a super chill guy, who's not very vocal and just does his thing without bothering anyone. Doesn't strike me as that type of vet who will set the standard, more like being a cool vet to hang around with. Still has value, but it's a different type and a lesser fit in our current vet needs, imo

 

to be clear, i don't hate klay at all. if all other options fail, i'd move hardy/knecht for klay, for sure. i'm just not jazzed about it. he's more done than looney, imo.

 

I just don't want JJ to have any excuses not to play the young guys. I think the Loon going to surprise us with what he has left. Klay might as well.

 

This 100%

They need game speed and stress reps to learn

Can't learn from the bench

Pressure situations is where most of the mistakes come from

Getting familiar with that can iron out the nerves
