Even though these numbers don’t extrapolate in real life, we have had useful contributions from most.
Just look at the numbers for some of the subs.
We may have been harsh on some players.
Everyone helps, and yes some may have more to give but overall we are on the rise despite injuries.

I would not classify Reggie as any of those things but maybe quick (and even then, nowhere near to where he was 5 years ago). He can kind of get by his man, but he doesn’t have the strength/explosion to get all the way to the rim consistently and finish or draw fouls.

Easiest offset to lack of FT is jack up more threes. Look at MIL and they get to the line about as infrequently as we do yet they shoot 4 more threes a game. Utah is on another level compared to us with 8 more attempts a game. Our guys should be letting it fly.

No coincidence that all of them thrived AFTER they left the Fakers.

A couple seasons ago I suggested we move off of Trez for Randle because Randle could do most everything Trez could do but could hit threes and pass. This Landed on deaf ears.

Clearly the Lakers made the right moves to win last season but let’s take a look at what they’d have right now if they’d kept with their rebuild:

Randle at the 4
Zubac at the 5
Ingram at the 3
Russell at the 1
Clarkson at the 2
Lonzo, Kuzma and josh Hart coming off the bench. I probably forgot some others. Again, you have to build around lebron if that’s in the offing but that would have been one helluva core they’d have right now if they’d stayed the course.

Julius was my favorite among the young guys on the Fakers during their stumblebum decade of failure. Have always liked him.

The lack of rim running and FTs is my biggest concern. In terms of quick, jittery, explosive guards, I’d argue that Reggie is quick, jittery, and explosive, but for some reason he just hasn’t been able to get to the line as much as you’d hope. I don’t know if it’s an issue with how Lue is using him in the offensive scheme (re: a lot of drive and kick and catch-and-shoot), or if it’s an issue with his own decision-making (Bad Reggie settles for a lot of contested jumpers and out-of-control drives), but regardless he’s probably still our best bet at getting to the line outside of Kawhi, Lou, and PG13.

Very random, but after watching j randles interview with JJ redick hes now one of my favorite players in the NBA. I really hope that he gets onto the all-star team because he clearly deserves it.
