LeBron Wasn't Lying: Lakers Found Their Secret Weapon

[@TheHuskyK9]

16 teams had a shot to draft him but they said DK was "too old". Also, he's playing in the perfect system for his skillset. Redick made it known that he wanted the Lakers to shoot more 3's, and the Lakers were looking to get a Klay Thompson-type of player. They missed out on Klay in the offseason, but ending up getting their guy in the draft. It's a win-win

[@superdopehiphop]

“This season didn’t start out that great for the Lakers.” They started 3-0 vs 3 of the 6 best teams in the West Suns, Wolves, Kings. That’s literally as good of first 3 games as anyone and I’m not a Lakers fan at all.

[@jaycee3487]

The league’s elite guards he has to defend now are comparable to Hall of Fame guards of the dead ball era so I can argue that his ceiling could be Clay Thompson-esq but it remains to be seen what he does against elite competition

"besides Bronny, Dalton was my favorite player in college basketball" yeah, those names should be in the same sentence they play different a different sport at the moment

[@deomartinez77]

*I was telling my friends in the preseason that Austin Reaves and Dalton Knecht are going to be big problems. I was telling people that nobody knows it yet but those two are going to become the Laker's version of the Splash brothers. They are both guys that can shoot from anywhere while not being the type that over rely on the 3. A starting lineup with those 2 next to Lebron and Anthony Davis is going to be a real problem for teams.*

[@everythinglakers1713]

Exactly. Surround AD and Bron who are bonifide top 8 players still in this league with ballers gonna be scary for the league lmaooooo. League done messed up

[@jakobs.1525]

@deomartinez77 Well it’s also a problem for the lakers bc reaves, dk and lbj (by now) are all bad defenders and ad can’t roam the paint and perimeter defend at the same time

[@deomartinez77]

@@jakobs.1525 LeBron is okay on defense but his age has slowed him down. The key will be the bench defender as the Lakers will have to out score teams. With James, AD, Reaves and Knecht they should be able to stay in games with teams that have a strong defense and blow out teams that can't defend.

Austin isn't that level of shooter. He's a tenacious, dynamic scorer and ballhandler.

[@asapmimic1289]

So Lakers wins can be scrutinized because of the teams they’ve been playing and beating, especially because of injuries, but an injured Lakers team wouldn’t get the same benefit of the doubt. Lakers are missing one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, missing their two rotation big men that they have to play a two way player, and with rui out, JJ has no choice but to play essentially FOUR GUARDS. FOH with the dismissing of Lakers wins if you’re not gonna give them the same benefit. More brain dead NBA casual logic.
