I was real impressed with Bryant's personality and speaking too. He was the best speaker of the bunch IMO. Dare I say Tarik Black like with the quality of his voice?
Very, Very intrigued by the signing.. Hope it works out for him. He seems to have the potential to be a physically dominant player too. Good strength + mobility.
All right, I got one of the back seats. Just actually sat down and watched a 10 minute highlight video and I was impressed. Yeah, it's just some highlights so obviously he's going to look good, but before I didn't even have that to get excited about. I had heard comparisons to Matt Barnes. Now this is gonna sound absurd but from the highlights I saw, I was reminded more of Lamarcus Aldridge. He had good footwork, nice midrange touch, and a general good feel for the game. He actually looked big out there. Definitely an agile 4 with the ability to handle the ball and make the right passes. Before I was looking at him more as a wing. I do have concerns about how he handles the transition to the NBA from an athleticism/size standpoint. But still, I think if he works hard he can be a good rotation player. In terms of actual NBA impact, I'm definitely not saying he's going to be Lamarcus Aldridge. That's what I saw from him in the college highlights because he's playing against smaller competition. As a realistic comparison, I think he can help us out the same way Luke did in his prime as a player. And if you don't appreciate how good of a roleplayer Luke was, you're crazy. It was a short window, but he was a glue guy that you could put into any lineup and trust him to make the right pass, hit open threes at a nice clip, and occasionally post up and use their touch to get some buckets. I can see Kuzma being similar.
if he could hit 3's like Lewis he'll be tops of this draft class, along with defense and passing (something I i believe is something lewis wasn't all to keen at)
I expect him to start over Randle by the All Star break. Until Randle can use his right hand and hit consistent jump shot, I don't see him with us for long.
Wow. Now that is lofty. Larry Nance Jr. couldn't beat out Randle for the starting position and Kuzma hasn't played even in Summer League yet.
Even if (big if) Kuzma performs much better than expected in the first half of the season, there is no way he starts over Randle until the trade deadline. Gotta showcase the asset. Even if Randle is traded, Nance would get the starting nod and Kuz would fill the Nance role off the bench.
I think our goal is Randle emerges to the point that we can package up Deng with him(If no George trade). We can stretch Deng next year but saving that 10 mill hit can possibly net us 2 max and possibly a 20+ mill player.
Kid seems solid and bright. Nice interview. Can't wait to see him and Hart and Brandon freaking Ingram and Ivica freaking Zubac and Lonzo playing in Summer League. Some network is going to scoop Serena up for higher paying work. Like when Jackie Johnson was doing the weather back in the day on the Lakers channel. Yowza with great personality and smarts. I had a feeling she'd get offers from higher paying gigs and she's a network weather person evening news now.
I love low key cute girls... Seems all around like a chick that you cover all bases with. I wonder if shes dated anyone from our team. Cant think of one player that would seem to intrigue her.
Her photos on twitter from her beach vacation in Mexico last year. Cute! Poor OX .... must make him go punch walls.
Yeah I noticed that. He gets going too fast at angles not conducive to staying upright as he comes down from being in the air.
Slow roy fell alot cause hes a weak turd, kuzma falls cause he might be taking bad angles on his jumps
