Jake LaRavia Discussion: Lah-Rave-E-Ya!

I guess this is why I my gut feels like I'm being gaslighted thru the years it's switched from Vando to Jake (and to some extent Rui) as well. Even Max who I loved as a prospect I soured on and I'm still despite his box score metric, feeling pretty good about being ready to move on from him as his advanced metrics still look awful.

These are the positions where the Lakers are losing the battles. You need to flip these guys from warm bodies who show flashes to guy who can actually be productive. A simple heuristic that I'm slowly relying on more is: are these guys opposing worry about, decide to target either on offense or defense, and how much time will they devote to it. These dudes are guys opposing coaches for the most part would be happy to see, unfortunately and this is why my posts probably sound very grating.

You compare that to the 2020 roster and a completely different stack of quality on the roleplayers
