    percentile ranking based on the sportrac player tracking. HIs raw percentages are low because he shoots a lot of difficult 3's

    Right; I’d like to know how that’s calculated and upon whose observations.

    just feel like if he’s that good, we wouldn’t need the charts. Those are HIGH ranks. Why does sac suck so bad all the time if they employ a taller steph curry?

    Some data from the article
    The piece also breaks down what each would bring to their new squad.

    When fully healthy, this team is going to be very dangerous. We need a sharpshooter and Hield will have looks that are wide open compared to what he dealt with in Sacramento.

    Well Steph is an amazing ballhandler, passer, finisher which Hield isn't lol.

    The way I think of it is: Hield is a more skilled Kyle Korver who thinks he's Steph Curry. On the Lakers, the hope would be that yeah you're not Steph but we got this star roleplayer position set for you to shine in would be attractive and help make up for his IQ issues

    And also Steph doesn't do stuff like this lol (got to love being asset strapped so you can somehow talk yourself into wanting guys who just see scoring and the rest of the game as meh)

    Had no idea Rico Hines was working with Sac these days... was nice to see him develop during his time at UCLA

    i've seen all that, too, which is why i said we shouldn't compromise our defensive identity for an expensive sharpshooter.

    Am going to imagine for here and for the draft thread that at least one call by later today to Handy, "talk to us Phil, how's THT looking today. How much progress since end of season?" Or to whoever is checking him out last couple days. This kid could sure solve a lot of problems for us if he blows up this year. I bet he was told that as well in his exit meeting. A starting position is his for the TAKING.

    i really wonder if we plan to move kuz for a guard or a big and just have THT step into his backup sf role. i know he seems small for that, but he's strong and has long arms.

    If we can turn Kuz, Trezz, and pick into Hield, Melo, larger role for THT, and a reupped Wes; I like that move a lot.

    On paper it looks like a lot (especially that we keep upping the offer), but if Trezz was going to leave regardless and the fact that Hield's contract gets cheaper each year... that helps sell it.

    Yes, was a really pleasant surprise to read that Trezz would be up for a sign and trade to Sacramento. Had assumed he was just going to walk, same as I still feel Marc will after last season's handling of him.

    BTW, too lazy to check, are Marc and Pau playing for Spain?

    LOL, also impatient so I just checked and they're both on the roster. How are they doing, the two of them? Marc sweating some FAT off in case he wants to come back to Lakers?
