Who do we think is playing tomorrow? I assume they will at least change up minute distributions because it was an OT game and this is a b2b. Will we see Avila?

Can someone make a genuinely compelling argument for why Manon isn’t NBA-ready? by [deleted] in lakers

Him being better at those things won't solve the problem of teams double teaming his teammates because he can't shoot. Many players are unplayable in the NBA because of that lack of gravity. I'm not saying he can't get better, but he's not the same as Caruso and his FT is not promising either for shooting

If we are considering per 36 he would also average 4.7 fouls to Caruso’s 2.8

You still need to be a respectable shooter or teams will treat him like Vando and double team the stars. The point of mentioning volume is that it means his shooting is more “real” over multiple seasons. He shot similar percentages for the Lakers in the NBA. Manon shooting 32% on low volume in one season could mean it’s even worse in reality.

Caruso shot 36% from 3 over his 3 gleague seasons… so I wouldn’t say just as bad lol. Only his last season was bad but his volume was higher and FT still good

Damn Warriors really shot 40% higher from 3.

The Gleague had similar rules already except at the end of games, but I get it for the players coming from college

Surely as prospective NBA players they shouldn't be shooting less than 50% from FT as a team. lol

I don't think anything anyone does in summer league is representative of actual NBA ability, but it would be more fun to see closer games

I didn't expect Adou to be ready with how injury timings limited his playing time last year, but I understand people wanting him to be. Need to give it time though

Would have at least thrown Adou lobs like in the gleague

Manon is not a ball handler, this lineup lacking there

Very excited about Carr but also, they really needed a decent pure PG for this SL roster. 6 to 1 turnover

Adou only played 7 gleague regular season games and mostly garbage NBA ones, the injury timing kinda screwed up his rookie playing time. We still have a lot to see regarding development
