@Gobb who told us Dillion Brooks is better

[Full Court]

I remember 1987_Ragdolled trying to tell me that Reaves wasn't all star caliber.

Full Court just keeps on winning.

What season was he all star caliber?

Better defender. There are 2 sides of the ball. Reaves is targeted on that side

[Gudo]

This team is stacked. No excuses.

fulltard said he was all-star caliber while averaging 13 PPG in 2023, along with Westbrick.

I always knew he had the potential to develop into the player his is now.

It's not like Brooks is a top tier impactful defender like Wemby or Gobert, he regressed last season as a defender and is already 30. His best defensive years are behind him

He is a baller, but let's not fool ourselves. He has yet to show up in the playoffs where the lights are brighter. And he played against the Kings. Nobody on this team actually is capable of playing some sort of decent defense lol

What are you even talking about, he balled out in his first ever playoff game and averaged 21/5 on 69%TS in the WCF. He didn't play well against the Wolves last year but outside that, he's been fine in the playoffs.

Just box score watching but how did he attempt 22 free throws? He single-handedly took more free throws than the entire Kings' roster. Again, I did not watch the game. So, I'm not making any accusations. I'm just curious.

He does defend though. Reeves doesnt

[StrongLurk]

As I said last year, Lakers need to trade Reaves or Lebron to get a legit big man and some athletic, two-way wings.

Luka, Reaves, and 40 year old Lebron is very redundant.
