An account to talk about the Lakers. I am definitely biased but I try to be realistic and friendly about all things Lakers and NBA related.
I know it is early, but the top 3 Lineups with 5+ minutes for the #Lakers. The three constants there are Smart, Rui and Reaves. Eye test tells me that Smart greatly enhanced every lineup. Huge pickup for this team. He fits so perfect with AR and Luka

Always fun watching early season leaders, the numbers are so inflated. Look at AR with those assists!

The 4 minutes this #Lakers lineup Luka/Reaves/Smart/Vando/Rui had were so amazing. Not sure we should always go small, but similar to last year, stretches with Rui at the 5 prove to be very potent. 117 net rating is crazy haha

Very worried about tonight, Wolves have such a size/athleticism advantage, especially without Bron. But the individual battle between Luka/Ant should be must watch.

Not sure I have ever seen a 0 Offensive Rating, but you know, I think it is actually accurate here. Come on Vando! We need you, just give us something on that end.

Partially kidding but they are pretty similar in utility. I do like them both

These are Bronny's advanced stats in Vegas from last year to this year. Tremendous growth. Last year, he just couldn't get out of his own way, especially when the ball was in his hands. This year he is making the team better. He still has so far to go, but that growth is very encouraging

There is more to basketball than PPP on PNR but Luka is pretty much elite with anyone. Murray and Jokic is insanely high because they are both so skilled. Luka's ability to match or best it with multiple guys of different skill levels all in the same year is really crazy

All of the data with Luka is such a small sample size, it is hard to take too much away from it. But I do find the lineup data with Luka and Knecht fascinating. These were the top 5 sorted by Min.

Sounding like it might actually happen. The idea of Ayton is hard to not get excited about. He is a great athlete and so skilled. Can Ayton and JJ work, not sure, but would be exciting to find out.
