Don't sleep on Koloko. He is the best rim-protector and defensive center on the team. His rookie year, averaged 1 block per game in only 13.9 minutes. That's 2.6 per 36. Also averaged 0.9 steals per 36 and had a DBPM of 0.8 and a block rate of 6.9%. Let's not fool ourselves. Ayton is not the defensive center to help cover for our below average perimeter defenders.
This guy stepping up would really solidify the roster and we can use a rim protector Now about his offense, setting screens and rebounding All need to improve I'm always pulling for the young guys to elevate their game And with the Lakers we have had many guys do that
I have been watching Koloko since his freshman year at Arizona, He made one jump in improvement between his sophomore and junior year. Since then he just has flashes of being good, but it usually is against inferior competition. I bet he gets waved from his 2 way contract this season.
