    JJ likes two things he can sometimes hit a 3, and he fights like hell when switched onto a big. For a switch heavy team that doesn't have a shutdown POA defender having a PG able to do that is valuable to some extent

    That being said Gabes inability to score at the rim , off the dribble, rebound, get steals/loose balls, playmake s negating his positives awfully hard for most teams. That's why I think you have to give Thiero a trial as he could give you all that Gabe gives and some of this other stuff

    Plus 1. Find a trade for this guy or let him keep that bench warm.

    To make things worse, Prince is a perfectly reliable role player who ended up getting criticized simply because the coach doesn’t know how to use him properly.

    That front of the Titanic super imposition of Darvin and Taurean was the BEST.

    They're tearing it up this year together too. ;)

    Yes. I liked Prince. Just overused by Ham.

    He just doesn’t do much out there other than try not to make mistakes. Like he doesn’t get to the hoop for layups, he doesn’t drive and kick, he doesn’t even really probe. He just stands in the corner. And I get that’s maybe what he’s instructed to do, but at his salary slot, for what our bench needs, it’s just not good enough. He’s never really felt like a Laker to me, always like he’s about to be traded, must be difficult for him I’m sure, but I look forward to finally moving on from him at some point.

    His first two buckets at the rim came on this road trip. That's insane.

    He had a couple solid screen navigation/ defensive plays last night but he's not worth the role or salary he's occupying.

    I mean even if he's told to stay in the corner - JJ is not telling him no you absolutely cannot take advantage of an open lane, shift away from you. He just doesn't bring anything other than occasional 3's and stays tough on switches.

    I love how many boards Reaves gets just anticipating where the ball is going or Smart suddenly is on the ground fighting for a loose ball. Vincent is like the opposite of that - whenever there is a loose ball or a 50-50 ball, you know Gabe will not be anywhere near it. There is no intangible benefits to playing him.
