Has Mudiay even played the last 5 games?D-lo is like a bigger, slower Brandon Jennings.
Yikes. A "shooter", shooting in the 30%'s from the field

You're right. But maybe perhaps,that one or two wins that it shaves off could be the difference in keeping and losing the pick.Team would be fairly similar without Lou... Assuming they got a marginally decent wing player in return...
For all the huge 4th quarters, there's a few games, that he gets a lot of run where he's ball stopping and playing hero ball detrimental to the rest of the team.
Maybe it shaves off a win or two over the next 2 months, but it won't have a huge impact.
I'm sure getting rid of the leading scorer on the team will have more than a one or two win impact but even so that could be the difference between losing and keeping the pick.
Who's picking up the scoring slack if Lou is my in there? Nick as well? They aren't going to win games if those dudes aren't there.
Yes magic name dropping Kobe was just so laker fans can get a chubby that boy don't wanna teach no damn young players
Best description for Lou I've heard/read was he is an invasive species. Any time he's on the court he just alters the entire ecosystem to best suit himself.
D’Angelo Russell, Los Angeles Lakers
14.5 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 4.8 bpg, 39% FG, 76% FT, 34% 3PT (38 Games)
Strengths:
Dribble Hand Off Scoring – Russell has a crafty style of play, and this is never more apparent than with his DHO play. Russell is excellent out of dribble handoffs and ranks in the 87th percentile in the league, averaging 1.14 points per possession. Russell does a great job coming off of the DHO shoulder to shoulder. When his defender chases him over the DHO, Russell squares himself up to the rim, getting his defender on his back and allowing him to turn the corner to the rim. When the defender goes under the DHO, Russell is also effective, stopping behind his teammate for a pull-up. He is shooting 46 percent from the field in these situations.
One-on-one Scoring – Another strength for Russell is with his isolation play. He ranks in the 83rd percentile in the league, averaging 1.039 points per possession, by shooting 41 percent from the field. Out of right side ISOs, Russell is deadly, ranking in the 98th percentile, averaging 1.5 points per possession. From the top of the key, he ranks in the 77th percentile in scoring efficiency. Russell can drive it both ways but has a tendency to want to get to his left, or strong hand, on drives. On drives, Russell ranks in the 98th percentile on ISO drives, ranking as the 5th most efficient player in the league. His herky-jerky stop and go style allows him to constantly keep his defender off balance.
(Defense) – Guarding Pick and Roll Ball Handler – Russell is very good when defending the ball handler out of pick and roll situations. He ranks in the 69th percentile in the league, holding the offense to an average of .77 points per possession. By slithering through screens, Russell uses his length to contest pull-up jump shooters. When guards turn the corner to the basket, Russell does a good job catching back up to ball handler, making it a difficult finish at the rim. Russell ranks in the 96th percentile in the league in defensive efficiency when his offender goes over the screen and drives it to the rim.
Weaknesses:
Maturity/leadership – There is no way of accurately quantifying the effect or lack thereof that Russell’s leadership has on his team. However, the 20-year-old comprised his trust with his teammates and organization last season by leaking teammate Nick Young’s online scandal. Luke Walton told Laker Nation’s Ryan Ward of Russell: “He’s growing up a little bit, maturing a little bit. We all know he’s got talent, it’s about being able to use that talent and play this position at a high level. He’s showing good signs of that.” Russell has both Walton and Magic Johnson to lean on as mentors in LA now. Johnson has stepped up recently as someone for the Lakers guard to lean for guidance. Despite his latest uptick in maturity, Russell still has a long way to go in securing absolute trust and leadership in the Lakers locker room.
Transition Scoring – Russell is shooting just 38 percent from the field in transition. He especially struggles as the ball handler on the break when compared to his peers. Russell ranks in the 12th percentile in the league, averaging just .83 points per possession. As the ball handler in transition, Russell sometimes tries to do too much. He seems to overcompensate for his average athleticism by over dribbling and looking to make the home run play as opposed to the correct play. As the ball handler in transition, 25 percent of the time Russell has turned the ball over. Improving his decision making and poise on the break will help to improve his overall efficiency.
Pick and Roll Decision Making – Russell ranks in the 24th percentile in the league in P&R efficiency. As the passer of P&Rs, Russell has not proven to be effective this season, ranking in the 29th percentile in the league when hitting the roll man, the 27th percentile when hitting the cutter, and the 49th percentile when hitting the spot up jump shooter. When refusing to come off of the pick, Russell has been the least efficient, where he ranks in the 8th percentile in the league averaging .67 points per possession.
sometimes its not all about the numbers. u know heart, desire, workethic used to play a big role on evaluating a person. DLO just doesn't have the makeup for a starting PG with the Lakers. Maybe on a different team, with HIS OWN agenda.Someone give me some advanced analytics to make me feel better about Dlo because what I'm seeing the past few weeks has been atrocious
Getting benched in the 4th quarter in a game where the other team has a career backup PG ? amazing
I doubt they trade nick young they need his name value to sell tickets
