I have no idea what we are doing.
Stauskas cannot guard Mohammad.

 

[LA King Fan II]

Good pass Stouskas!

 

[Tetsujin]

Sweet ball movement

 

[Tetsujin]

Good pass Stouskas!

Who?

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Moreland nice block!

 

[hrdboild]

At the risk of numbnut Vivek staying I'm dumb again.

LaVine and Stouskas both guys two guards in college, similar bodies. Coach thought Stouskas could ad some ballhandling skills....

Good comparison, unfortunately they are not even close in ballhandling. Lavine looks very confident with the ball in his hands and Stouskas doesn't look strong taking the ball to the hoop right now. If he can do more, just like to see it.

LaVine is playing PG for his team and he has 2 assists. Stauskas is playing SG and he has 5.

ben is balling.. his upside is sky high once he slows down

 

[Tetsujin]

To Moreland's credit he hasn't had a "I'm lost" moment like Hassan or Justin Williams did so far

Lavine was drafted to play PG. It's well known his ball handling is better than Stauskas' and pretty much any SGs

I guess that proves he can dribble the ball better and go to the basket.

 

[Tetsujin]

Despite the size disadvantage, I think Moreland has done an adequate job of fighting on the glass against Dieng.

The difference is that laVine has to "prove" himself and Nik doesn't.
Nik's game isn't that of a ball dominator.
He is going to fit really well with cousins and Rudy since he is a ball mover.
Zach has a ton to prove since all he showed in college was potential.

He's also averaging 5.6blks/40min as of this moment.

LaVine showed zero point guard skills at ucla.
Him going with the pgs at the combine is purely upside hype.
He is drafted as a potential guy.
We will see if be makes it.

Best stat to me is that as a team the Kings currently have 12 assists compared to 4 turnovers.

And of course right after I say that the youngsters went out and turned the ball over 6 times with just 3 assists during that span. Big reason the Timberpups are back in the game.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

They're blowing it

 

[hrdboild]

LaVine is having a nice showing, I'm not trying to dismiss him or anything, they're just different types of players. He's been dominating the ball for his team and leading them in scoring. He's a high ceiling elite athlete who's still learning how to fit his talents into a team game. He's a bit like Ben McLemore in that regard. Stauskas is showing us right now how he can impact a game without even taking a lot of shots. He's dished off 5 assists, all of the quick-hit variety by moving without the ball and making smart passes to open cutters. And he's making threes at an elite rate. That's what we drafted him to do. We don't really need another high-ceiling athlete as much as we need a floor spacer who can move the ball without making a lot of mistakes.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Nice move Ray! He's a solid mid range shooter

 

[Tetsujin]

Brooks makes IT seem like Steve Nash as a passer

 

[HereWeBoogie]

I'm thoroughly surprised and impressed they have kept Dieng off the boards as well as they have

 

[Tetsujin]

B-Mac has done alright on Lavine here

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Brooks makes IT seem like Steve Nash as a passer

Nah he just makes IT look like a 5'9 MarShon Brooks

 

[Chicken Chaser]

10-0 run in 3 minutes. hahahahahaha

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Lavine is way out of control on offense

 

[Tetsujin]

Wow. Ben Chocolate!

 

[jcwkings]

Ben really slowing down LaVine. Best player on the court by quite a bit.

 

[NowImLost]

Ben.
I'm crying.
It's like a child riding a bicycle all by their own self.

 

[Tetsujin]

What if Tyreke was really fat and not good at anything except offense? Shabazz.

 

[chasen4r1]

I'm dying being at work right now. I need to watch this when i get home
