GoodZo tweaked his ankle at practice
could be a blessing in disguise. we might see BI more time to play distributor and help assess if he flourish with the second unit. ingram is a different beast when he's a playmaker.Zo tweaked his ankle at practice
this tooZo always misses Fox lol
if we can somehow snatch ariza for kcp and beasley, that would be tremendous.
i mean, the suns dont really need ariza anyway..
YES!
Throw in Zubac as the token young piece.
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25219366/zach-lowe-10-things-like-including-jayson-tatum-nba4. Brandon Ingram, settling
My Ingram optimism has taken a slight hit. He has recorded only 9.3 drives per 100 possessions, down from 15 last season, and his assist rate has cratered. Some of that is the predictable result of playing alongside LeBron, and of Ingram not getting enough lead ball-handling duty among bench mobs.
But teaming with LeBron in an ultra-fast attack should nudge any wing toward more efficient shot selection. Ingram's shot profile is almost identical to last season's. Some of that is on him.
He settles for long 2s way too often both on the pick-and-roll, and when he has a size mismatch in the post.
Yeah, Ingram is skinny and J.J. Barea is an irritant, but still: Even a run-of-the-mill face-up drive keeps the offense moving, and might produce a hockey assist.
The Lakers are scoring only 0.78 points per possession when Ingram shoots out of a pick-and-roll, or dishes to a teammate who shoots right away -- one of the lowest marks in the league, per Second Spectrum. Only 16 percent of ball screens for Ingram have led to those one-pass-away shots for teammates -- the fourth-lowest figure among 174 ball-handlers who have run at least 20 pick-and-rolls, per Second Spectrum.
In other words: Ingram is either taking blah shots after slithering around picks, or making unproductive passes. He's barely snagging rebounds. He needs to do more stuff.
I'm still bullish on Ingram's versatility, vision, and creativity. The LeBron transition is hard for everyone. But Ingram's first seven games this season haven't been encouraging.

So much for tanking and building through the draft & lottery picks.
-D-Lo gone and not a allstar caliber player in Brooklyn.
-Randle gone and not looking any better than his 3 and a half years with the Lakers.
-BI not looking like a break out year where he becomes an allstar.
-Zo looking like a project player with limited upside.
Any y’all going to chalk talk this Sunday?
Zo out there looking for feet to land on before the Fox matchup.
