One of the first, hopefully of many, Luka stack pick-and-roll actions with Cameron Carr as the second screener in the quick-slip shooter role. Ended with Domantas Sabonis losing his shoe and Luka casually draining the three.

I wrote about the battle for the backup guard spot between Bronny, Hardy and Chris Mañon in my column yesterday. Here’s a clip I shared of Mañon’s defensive playmaking and why that is the most NBA ready skill among all 3. He had his hands in at least 6 Warriors turnovers.

Really fun exercise. Be interesting to see how we do on shooting, no matter what volume will be up 😂

It took like two media sessions for Matisse Thybulle to become my favorite Lakers interview. Him talking about Walker Kessler’s defensive gravity and everyone else orbiting around it is the kind of insight that makes you think, and exactly the kind of basketball stuff I’m here for.

Yeah, like I wrote I think shot profile is gona be much more Luka’s previous teams and JJ presence like

A must-read, data based, analysis that is worth your time, specially if you’re a Laker fan.

Great writeup, Mamu unlocks so many things for everyone. But I think Vando and Manu together in particular can be so effective, especially against second units where that chaos can really be amplified. Sexton, AR, Carr, Vando and Mamu in theory sounds so fun.

No NBA player blocked three points shots at a higher rate than Matisse Thybulle over the last 5 seasons. Not even close...

thats the right attitude... and thanks again for reading

No worries, and thanks for reading anyways. There are some deep-dives that are free for all (I try to provide value to non-paid subscribers as well). So, Walker Kessler monster deep-dive and Top Centers in the West were unlocked this week, available for all...

Thanks for reading and sharing 🙏

Like I wrote the archetype combined with his lack of size will be more detrimental in his 30s
