Yeah we did "alright," which basically describes DLo's game to the T - alright. Aka average, aka mediocre.Then again, the 2015 draft was pretty weak imo[thread="654452"]2017 Lakers Season Thread 11 21 Lolakers Byke/5490#post_27220003[/thread]
Yeah I can agree he has been just decent so far, nothing spectacular
Funny how he's still the best PG of 2015 draft though
for a "weak" draft, we did alright at No.2.

At 20?
Do you ever hear someone say "wow, ever since Charlie turned 25 he's become so competitive ".
No, it's always "he's been like that since he was little"
Exactly.
Kwame Brown, J.R. Reid, Michael Olowokandi, Big Country Reeves, Jonny Flynn, Adam Morrison, Greg Oden, Antonio Daniels, Marcus Banks, Bryce Drew, Randy Woods, Bo Kimble, Harold Miner, William Avery, Mateen Cleaves, Darko Milicic, etc etc.
So Kobe and Jordan were killin dudes at 20, like they did at 27?
At 27 they were killing dudes with glares, with words, just bein on the court.
They ain't have that at 20. They were kids, tryin their ***** off, but not scarin nobody. Fought hard, but intimidating, dogging people down? No way.
Russ balls hard. He ain't scare nobody at 20. He just ran fast. Same with Steph, KD, Harden, etc.
Can DLo put more effort at 20? Sure, absolutely. Absolutely.
But does it mean automatically he won't when he's 27? No, not at all. That will come.
When did average ever become mediocre?

I get all that. I've yet to see him sprint back after a careless turnover. Just one time run hard on defense. Just once show us how bad you want to be great or how bad U want to win
LOL...Jordan was turning the nation upside its head at 21, I'm sure you remember. Kobe was wowing GM's all over the country with his maturity, skills, and drive at the ripe age of 17 during pre-draft workouts and one-on-one interviews. I'm sure you can remember.So Kobe and Jordan were killin dudes at 20, like they did at 27?Do you ever hear someone say "wow, ever since Charlie turned 25 he's become so competitive ".At 20?
No, it's always "he's been like that since he was little"
If you're a true competitor who hates to lose you sprint hard on D, run out ground balls to first base etc

Average for sure. Mediocre means "of moderate quality; not very good"...in other words average. Average, btw, is a synonym for mediocre.When did average ever become mediocre?Yeah we did "alright," which basically describes DLo's game to the T - alright.

jeezus
You're giving two different qualities on your overall perception of DLo.
Of course Luke has to say all of those things. Otherwise, if he didn't there'd be nothing positive left to say about him since his game isn't all that great. Luke gotta keep others thinking that DLo doing all the right things because if he don't, no other GM gonna want to acquire him in a trade lolLuke says he studies film a ton and works on his game non-stop. How it translates may take more time, but him wanting to be great isn't an issue, to me at least. (Unless Luke Lyin to us)I get all that. I've yet to see him sprint back after a careless turnover. Just one time run hard on defense. Just once show us how bad you want to be great or how bad U want to winSo Kobe and Jordan were killin dudes at 20, like they did at 27?

Those were all true. Too bad it hasn't translated to overall success on the court against legit NBA competition. By all means, DLo can still prove me wrong.
I disagree.
