Lakers grades through first 5 games (4-1) Luka: A Ziaire: A Reaves: A- Thybulle: A- Laravia: A- Kessler: B+ Mamu: B+ Vando: B+ Grimes: B- Sexton: C+ Hardy: D- Looney: F Biggest role player standout has been Ziaire, with Thybulle not far behind. Laravia has quietly been great too. Turnovers and DREB have been the notable complaints, but they’re 5-0 rn if not for Looney mins imo!

Went back and forth on keeping Reaves at an A or A-. Just been a bit sloppy as of late, but his efficiency is off the charts. Great start for him and the team either way 👌

Matisse Thybulle now has 12 made 3s (12-23), 8 steals, and 4 blocks through 5 games 3&D value 🔒

In only 10 minutes of playing time, Jarred Vanderbilt is already +44 ahead of Kevon Looney on the court this season Looney -29 in 29 mins Vando +15 in 10 mins Yea… let’s keep the rotation that way JJ

Meet the Lakers new addition Lawson Lovering Has only played in 2 NBA games so far (25-26) but he looked good. He had an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double with the Grizzlies. - Good passing big (2.7 APG in sr year of college) - Solid shot blocker (4.6% blk rate in G League) - Decent athleticism for size (can be a lob threat) Literally can't be worse than Kevon Looney. Really hoping Redick gives him a shot after learning the playbook. Full breakdown here - youtube.com/watch?v=gTj9F3S2…

Very jealous of the Blazers having Rob Williams as a backup center

Nice off ball movement from Collin Sexton. Luka finds him on back to back baseline cuts

No Kevon Looney minutes here in the 1Q. Mamu is playing the 5 and Laravia is at the 4

Ziaire has two assists and two steals in the first 5 minutes of this game. He’s been so good to start this season

AD has been better at center for years now, people have just been fooled by his own agenda to play PF

I think it’s telling that the offense has looked better down the stretch and that they were able to get up more 3s playing AD at center around 4 capable shooters. Sarr and Bilal hurt the spacing because teams don’t guard them attentively when they’re on the perimeter.

Lakers have gotten off to a hot start shooting the ball They rank 1st in FG% (54.5%), 2nd in 3PT% (42.1%), and 1st in TS% (68.2%) Kessler leads the team in FG% (go figure) at 82.1% while Reaves leads the team from 3 at 61.5% Small sample but great start!

Lakers grades through 3-0 start: Reaves: A+ Kessler: A+ Thybulle: A+ Ziaire: A+ Luka: A- Mamu: A- Grimes: A- Laravia: A- Sexton: B Looney: D- Feels wrong to be giving nearly all A's, but they've been that good. My only complaints would be a few too many turnovers, some rebounding issues, along with Looney being a poor backup center. Lakers have: - 8 different guys shooting >37% from 3 (8 of their 10 rotation players) - 7 averaging at least 1 SPG - 8 with a positive +/- rating (only Looney/Sexton are a negative in the rotation)

Might be time for Redick to pull the plug on Looney and try out Vando instead It'll be "small ball" but Vando and Mamu together should be more competent defensively than Looney out there. Mamu also mitigates the shooting issue with Vando. Full breakdown here - youtube.com/watch?v=El7ULLHV…
