[Bosnian Sajo]

Why the hell are they so late..

[Sportal]

Keep this updated, ta.

[Meticode]

Game is starting. Totally forgot about Buddy Heild for the Pelicans starting.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Bucket #1! :D

[Meticode]

Starting lineups:

Lakers:

PG - Russell
SG - Brown
SF - Ingram
PF - Nance Jr.
C - Zubac

Pelicans:

PG - Drew II
SG - Hield
SF - Lighty Jr.
PF - Minnerath
C - Diallo

[Bosnian Sajo]

Looking great so far, 8-0. Timeout by Pelicans.

Larry bringing the ball up the court like Lamar Odom used to, looks very comfortable on the ball.
Ingram 1/1, 1 block
Brown playing good D, offensive rebound/putback
Zubac scored

Crowd is really into it, pretty hyped for a summer league game :lol

[KobeLookLike2Pac]

Looking sharp at both ends of the floor. Those Shaun Livingston legs scare me though

[SAKOTXA]

Ingram already looking like a superstar. NBA is in trouble

[KobeLookLike2Pac]

Nance with the three!:rockon:

[Meticode]

Don't bring back the memories. :cry:

[KobeLookLike2Pac]

DLo 0-3 :(

[Meticode]

:applause: Yay, Pelicans get on board, 11-2.

[KobeLookLike2Pac]

Nance has such a good motor

[Nick Young]

Nance is high work rate, high athleticism, high IQ and low ego. He is the ultimate roleplayer big man.

[Meticode]

Hield with the jitters so far. He just like D'Angelo Russell back him down to steps and draw the foul.

[Bosnian Sajo]

I've been telling everyone, yall sleeping on Nance!! How about that no look pass! He's gotta be our starting 4 this year, over Randle at least.

[Meticode]

No.

[Bosnian Sajo]

No.


:sleeping

[KobeLookLike2Pac]

Buddy with range :eek:

[Bosnian Sajo]

Zubac is HUGGEEEE


INGRAM SSOOO SMOOOTH! :bowdown:

[KobeLookLike2Pac]

Zubac is a wall at the basket :eek:

[KobeLookLike2Pac]

Ingram looking like George Gervin

[bluechox2]

ruseel playing like shit

[KobeLookLike2Pac]

Everybody playing good cept Dlo. :(

[Meticode]

Nice move by Ingram going left and just blowing by his defender. Length makes it look effortless.

[SAKOTXA]

ZoBLOCK :bowdown:

[ClipperRevival]

Druss ceiling is low. Still got those heavy feet. We screwed up that pick.

[bdreason]

Ingram looks good. When he gets more explosive, he's gonna be scary.

Russell still looking slow footed.

[Meticode]

Ingram reminds me of Durant with that skinny length.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Druss ceiling is low. Still got those heavy feet. We screwed up that pick.


We? :oldlol:



Ain't no "we" with a username like that.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Ingram reminds me of Durant with that skinny length.


You and everyone else. That's been his comparison since January.

[Meticode]

Lakers blew that lead. 17-17 after one.

[SAKOTXA]

Looks like Russell is going to play in the post on the wings a lot this year. I like that more than him handling the ball.

[raprap]

Russell has potential posting up.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Definitely like what I see from him on the low block...interesting. He doesn't HAVE to be the main ballhander, Nance is looking competent as is Ingram. Don't forget about Clarkson, who I prefer as the PG.

Maybe that's our problem, Russell and Clarkson should switch positions. Have Russell as a spot up/back down shooter/cutter.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Dlo needs to keep doing this, keep taking it down low.

[KingPush]

Trade D'angelo and Randle for Westbrook

[Bosnian Sajo]

Trade D'angelo and Randle for Westbrook


**** that, Russell ain't going nowhere.



Keep the team just as it is, let em grow.

[SAKOTXA]

Dlo needs to keep doing this, keep taking it down low.
I know it's just one game, but i'm pumped about our future man. Lakeshow will rise again!!!

[Bosnian Sajo]

BLOW BY HIM.....SO QUICK :eek:



INGRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM


ROTY, I guarantee it. Any bet, I'm taking it.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Zubac and1!!!



YEA BITCH!! GET HYPED, SAKOTXA, DON'T BE ASHAMED!! :rockon:



Myyyy guysssss, yet ANOTHER 2nd round steal :applause:

[SAKOTXA]

Zuby Doo balling out there. **** yea

[SAKOTXA]

Zubac and1!!!



YEA BITCH!! GET HYPED, SAKOTXA, DON'T BE ASHAMED!! :rockon:



Myyyy guysssss, yet ANOTHER 2nd round steal :applause:
Oh I'm hyped bro! :rockon:

[Dictator]

I said it last year. Russell at sg, clarkson at pg.

[FireDavidKahn]

This guy was the #1 prospect on my board.

I absolutely love the guys game. He needs to bulk up though.

[CarlosBoozer]

BLOW BY HIM.....SO QUICK :eek:



INGRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM


ROTY, I guarantee it. Any bet, I'm taking it.
Simmons will be ROY

[SAKOTXA]

What a fu.cking block!!!!

[Bosnian Sajo]

This draft was such....a....success!!


Ingram and Zubac are absolutely lethal, man. Keep reminding myself it's just summer league, but boy oh boy. :D

[Bosnian Sajo]

Simmons will be ROY


Bust.

[NattyPButter]

Don't see why ppl say Russel is slow looks quick to me. PPl expecting him to be Westbrook fast? If he turns out to be like Mike Conely Laker fans should be happy.

[Mr. Jabbar]

What A Time

To Be Alive!!

[Bosnian Sajo]

Zubac :applause:



My dog from Mostar, BOSNIA :applause:

[Bosnian Sajo]

This defense is incredible, I like this lineup a lot.

Russell
Brown
Ingram
Nance
Zubac



BLOCK CITY BITCH, BLOCK BLOCK CITY BITCH.

[Nilocon165]

Hield getting raped

[Bosnian Sajo]

Ivica ****ing Zubac is the steal of the draft, **** we might end up paying Mozgov 64m to be his backup. He is goooooood, caught me off guard.



This draft, we got BIG. Two giants with vast wingspans, shiiieeeeeet. Smell that?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Ingram has a better handle than i thought he did.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

He's so skinny, though. It feels like he's gonna break every time he jumps/lands.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Zubac has EYES!!! THEM HANDS, THOSE PASSES!! Nance didn't expect it to be so perfect :oldlol:




HE IS MARC GASOL, 100%!!! I'm so impressed with this dude.




Luke Walton is bringing in great energy and I love what I'm hearing, the players look to mesh very well and Dlo is playing freely. Good signs.

[Ca$H]

Mitch drafted Marc Gasol in the 2nd round. Will history repeat itself with Zubac?

[Bosnian Sajo]

Mitch drafted Marc Gasol in the 2nd round. Will history repeat itself with Zubac?


Absolutely.



This defense is contagious to the team right now, I feel like Julius Randle would break it if he were to play. Deng and Mozgov would compliment it well, but Randle and Calderon no.


hmmmmm.

[Bosnian Sajo]

D'angelo Russell has IMPROVED.


His defense, rebounding, and passing. He can actually dunk now! :oldlol:



Another huge plus from Ivica Zubac is 5-5 from the line. Steal of the draft.

[Bosnian Sajo]

I wonder why Diallo got no playing time in Kansas...he looks pretty good, very athletic and never stops running.

[WolfGang]

Buddy is missing a lot of shots but it's good that he's putting them up. I hope he finds his groove later.

Diallo not looking too bad. I like him.

Ingram is obviously greater than Simmons. His work ethic and demeanor. Lakers looking good.

[Hey Yo]

Ben Golliver ‏@BenGolliver 37 minutes ago
Lakers fans booing loudly as Jim Buss is shown on the jumbotron at Summer League...

[Bosnian Sajo]

D'angelo on Ivica Zubac: "he reminds me of Marc Gasol. Big fella with some sweetness to him"


Great minds think alike :cheers:

[alanLA92]

He's so skinny, though. It feels like he's gonna break every time he jumps/lands.

Yup he needs to build himself up in the next couple years.

[AirTupac]

Holy fukkk. Ingram looks like the real deal. Zubac looks like another unreal steal for the Lakers. He's only 18 and has a Marc Gasol vibe to him. D'Angelo killed it. But Ingram o man, that length and he just looks like hes ready for this.

[9erempiree]

We got our man.

[bobopenguin]

:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

[showtime2008]

I need to go to ER. Still have a boner from the game.

This game was so refreshing after the last few years.

[Sarcastic]

So now you guys gonna jump off the Warrior bandwagon?

[Sportal]

To be honest... And as much as this shit will infuriate me, because there are some serious Lakers fan morons on here. Who will just start threads to put "Ingram>Simmons" etc. Like seriously, shut the **** up.

But Ingram looked good. I would suggest ROTY good.

[r0drig0lac]

So now you guys gonna jump off the Warrior bandwagon?
:lol

[KobeLookLike2Pac]

I think we are too hard and expect too much from Dlo. For instance, his statline

20 pts 7-12
11 reb
6 ast
3 stl

And we say he's playing like crap :(

On the other hand Mudiay

23 pts 8-18
8 reb
6 ast
1 stl

And we say Mudiay is playing like a stud :oldlol:

[34-24 Footwork]

Dude was looking NICE out there. Super fluid, agile and decisive.

Lol. Even D'Rus looked good out there. Posting up and picking his spots on the perimeter.

I need to see Russ this year in the regular season to make a determination. Right now, he's the most expendable player on the team by far.

We got pretty different opinions then. I think JC and Randle are far more expendable than Dlo at the moment. DLo has allstar tools we have seen flashes of, it's way too early to move him cheap now. JC and Randle have limitations that they will never overcome on way to being elite level players in the NBA.

Yeah. I've seen that you're a big D Russ guy. Just never chose to engage you on it.

Randle is a jumper away from being EASILY a 20pt/10reb/4ast guy on a NIGHTLY basis. With a jumper, he's the Hulk version of Odom.

And we just flat out disagree on Clarkson. I think extremely high of him. Plays well in the pick and roll when looking to score. Nice floater. GREAT speed and decision making.

Russell's ceiling is extremely high. But he's a little too soft for me.

None of these guys have proven anything more than the others, other than Russell being the number 2 pick. Production wise they've all shown flashes of being good NBA players but nothing more than that.

D'angelo has youth on his side and good size for his position, but his tools are severely limited when his actual production has shown he has a major flaw for his position, in that he can't break down the defense. He better hope that jumpshot gets consistent or I don't see how he's going to be a major star in the league.

Russell's ceiling is extremely high. But he's a little too soft for me.

Randle is raw clay right now, can tell he's gotten by his whole life just being bigger and faster than everyone else and he doesn't understand the nuances of the game. Compare Zubac's poise in his first summer league game vs Randle's last year and it's night and day.


However he averaged a double double off physical gifts alone last year. An improved jumper and getting out of Byron Scott's dysfunctional system can prove to be a huge since he's definitely got the talent to be a star.

A reliable jumper is one of the hardest things to develop. It's not the same as extending a shooters range from college 3 to NBA 3. Some players just lack a feel for shooting the ball.

Lebron is a jumper away from easily being the GOAT.

[AirTupac]

Ingram and Russell will be allstars, its a guarantee.

Lebron is a jumper away from easily being the GOAT.

A reliable jumper to keep the defense honest isn't the same as being Klay Thompson. Randle's got enough other tools to not need an elite jumper, just a serviceable one.

He shot 71% from the line so the mechanics are definitely not broken, if he works hard getting a David West/Karl Malone type jumper isnt unachievable.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Randle's biggest flaw is when he attacks the basket...a jumpshot would be a nice addition to his game, but he has to calm the hell down. Last night when Nance brought the ball up the floor/on a fastbreak, if he saw his guys were lagging or that there were too many defenders in his way, he slowed it down and gave the ball back up top to Russell to start out our offense. Randle would of ran it down regardless and either score/get fouled or turn the ball over (much more often, this was the case).

Julius has to learn how to do that, and as long as he keeps running around like a chicken with no head, I'm sure Coach Luke Walton (thank god for this guy) has no problem benching him in favor of Nance.



Really interested to watch tonight's game vs Philly, Ingram vs Simmons and Zubac gets to show us that game 1 wasn't a fluke. I seriously think Zubac will be challenging Mozgov for that starting 5 position.
