Should we have taken Kevin Huerter instead of Robinson?

Huerter, Okogie,either obviously outperforming Jerome. I wasn't a big fan of the pick but as I've said before, I'm not going to argue Jerry West. He knows things that others just don't. So, I'll keep faith in young Mr. Robinson until he proves The Logo wrong.

Shamet is ranked #14 right now for this draft class I believe.
Zubac is the prior draft but I'd say he's top 20 draft prospect at this point.
SGA is ranked #8 right now I believe.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=KGaJ6qr5a9UHere’s a small video talking about Shamet. I’m trying not to get too excited because I often set myself for extreme disappointment, but Shamet’s potential is unlimited. There’s a stat at the end of the video that basically says that right now, he’s a better shooter right now as a rookie than some guy named STEPHEN FUCKING CURRY when he was a rookie......... ........Are you fucking kidding me? We have Curry potential dropped right in our laps for basically nothing. Doc Rivers better not fuck this up and if there’s any signs of that happening, fire him immediately. Guess who coached Curry at the beginning of his unanimous MVP season? The same guy that the other LA team is gonna fire at the end of the season because their GM and PoBO are drinking on the job and have their heads so far up their own asses they can lick their teeth twice. Yes, I just said it. Fire Doc Rivers and hire Luke Walton.

I like Shamet, but I'd settle down Mike Smith on the Curry potential part. That reminds me of every rookie QB who is just ok getting compared to Peyton Manning because he had a bad rookie year. Steph averaged 17.5 points and 6 assists his rookie year. Steph's development from there was also not typical, most guys do not improve at that rate that deep into their career. That being said I am excited about getting him in this deal, a very underrated little throw in we got and smartly negotiated into the deal. I'm sure Philly didn't give him up easily.

That’s why I said potential. Rookies don’t normally pull up from 30 in their first game on the team to tie the game on the road. Shamet’s confidence is what really impresses me the most. |

So, I'll keep faith in young Mr. Robinson until he proves The Logo wrong. Maybe West drafted Jerome knowing his ceiling is a rotational player player at best. If he's just a meh player, Clippers can keep him around for cheap as a valuable rotational catch and shoot player. It was a mid round pick anyway; the odds of drafting an absolute stud is low. I still think we should have rolled the dice on MPjr, though. Shamet really makes JRob expendable, though. |

No fucking way on Walton. I don't think Walton is as bad as people think. His coaching record with the 73-9 Warriors was better than Kerr's that season. Walton was dealt a terrible hand when he joined that other LA team. I don't think Doc will utilize Shamet to his fullest potential. I hope I'm wrong because I think Doc will be our coach for the foreseeable future. Plus imagine sticking it to the Lakers again by hiring Luke and becoming successful while LaVar Ball roasts the next Lakers guinea pig. |

A President Of Basketball Operations, and a GM are more important than a coach. It would be different for Walton working with a better front office, then what he has currently in Earving. |

If you think a guy who coached a team to a 24-0 start and a 39-4 overall record is considered a terrible head coach, whatever you’re on must be some really good shit. Let me have some. The Clippers and Lakers current culture is like night and day. Edit: I meant to only quote Mistwell’s post. |

Why do you keep saying that? Walton's never coached a team to a 24-0 start or a 39-4. He was an ASSISTANT coach and did some fill-in work WITH MANY OTHERS while Kerr was recovering form an injury. And when given a head coach job, he's sucked. Christ he cannot even coach a team with the best player in the league to the playoffs!
Your thinking is the same thinking the Lakers had - and they were wrong and are about to fire him over being wrong. Why oh why would you not learn the easy lesson they learned the hard way? Why would you be suckered like that?

Your thinking is the same thinking the Lakers had - and they were wrong and are about to fire him over being wrong. Why oh why would you not learn the easy lesson they learned the hard way? Why would you be suckered like that? I’m saying that because he did as the fill-in for Kerr. If he couldn’t, Kerr would have left someone else in charge if he thought Luke couldn’t do it. Kerr not only was absent during games, but also practices. Sure, Kerr might have poked his head in once in a while to say hi, but Luke was in charge. The Lakers team that Luke joined lacked talent and had a dysfunctional front office. Then you add Magic, Lonzo and especially LaVar to the mix. LaVar Ball is basically the “you suck you jackass” guy in Happy Gilmore. That franchise is going down in flames and getting fired will probably be more of a favor to Luke. Even with LeBron James, this current Lakers is a terrible situation for any coach, including Pop. Given the right situation, I think Luke can prove to be a really good coach. Look, you won’t convince me otherwise. I don’t get paid by Ballmer to make personnel dicisions and I’m for sure glad you’re not either(we’d be stuck in the mud after overpaying CP and Blake ;-) ). Go ahead and post your response, I will read it and that’s it. I think Shamet is an absolute steal, has unlimited potential and we’re lucky that our favorite basketball team has him. |
