    It seems like he has no confidence in his outside shot. He goes to the hole all the time, even when he has space to shoot. I wish he shoot more from the 3 point line, he needs to build his game. He has proven to be a player in the league, now let it rip from deep. He's able to go to the hole against bad team and does his damage, but when he faces good teams with good defenses like the Bucks, those lanes won't easily open up.

    He's a horrible floor spacer. He's basically a shorter Giannis. A lot of similar skillset there but he's gotta work on being a better shooter if he wants to take his game to the next level. In the playoffs, a lot of what he does will be mitigated so i think he's gonna get his minutes cut.

    Finally timed one right / picked right opening / took off from right spot / or all the former .... to convert one of his monster jam attempts after a string of misses. Got to shoot better .... c’mon kid you can do it. Find some way somewhere in between games to shoot more than you have until there’s results and don’t hesitate and / or aim them in games. Step back one legged Dirk shots in close not bad at converting at least.

    Man if he ever gets a consistent 3 point jumper, he's going to be special. mini D Wade with how he attacks the rim constantly putting pressure on the defense either to score at the rim or hit open shooters.

    Only 20 years old so it's hard not to be excited about his future as his passing, ability to get to the rim, and the weird body type are already there.

    Honestly rookie move, should know not to leave the bench when a fight breaks out.

    Looks like he stepped on the court while he was waiting to check in.

    That's BS. THT wasn't even near any of the fight.

    I hope the Lakers appeal this decision because it's a terrible one.

    Only way to slow this train down is to suspend it.

    I get that he broke the rules but if OG just gets fined and not suspended for starting the whole thing, no way THT should be suspended.

    Oh FFS that's just BS. F****** OG without the brains to know Schroder was just trying to hold him up so he didn't get hurt. Morons.

    Letter of the law nonsense. OG can pull Schröder’s leg out and make him fall on purpose, gets a fine, THT take a few steps onto the court, suspended.
