What’s with the long posts that’s say a lot of nothing? So has him improved his jump shooting or no?

32% on 485 jumpers
38% on 425 jumpers
42% on 426 jumpers

That’s a huge year over year improvement since entering the league. Dude said reforming his jump shot

Does anyone have stats on how Russell and Randle improved after leaving the Lakers?

At this point, it seems pretty clear the LAL are a really poorly run outfit and that includes developing their talent. Russell and Randle really seemed to blossom after leaving so I think expecting Ingram and Ball to do the same seems logical.

I didn’t watch a ton of LA games but he looked good when I did and that’s reflected in stats. I don’t totally get the knock on his jump shot. It’s basically half of his game (mid range pull up/fade away) and it’s unblockable; KDish (inside the arc) being the ceiling. He’s long and finds the rim creatively by using the pump fake off his jumper when necessary, he can handle well...and is 21 years old. I think he’ll be a big part of the reason this remade Pels team surprise people in year one.

Spacing is a real concern since we don’t have the spot up shooters to stand around and watch him work but, one on one, I think he’ll be 20+ with solid+ defense and that might be worth a max next year if he rebounds at a decent clip.

With that said, I can see him leading the second team with the bench shooters (Hart, Moore, NAW) on the court and keeping the Pels competitive and even winning those second team match ups.
