There are times, few and far between, that the issue is pressed and it is in Jordans hands. When in those moments he seems lost. Sometimes he drives, cant get to the basket and picks up his dribble. A badly positioned pass ensues. This kid for all intents and purposes is the most polished team player to skill ratio player we have on the squad. But in reality he struggles to find his way. He has the moves. He can handle the ball well, he has a good jumper, he can drive. He does everything average but nothing spectacular. He seems like he wants to play within the system and in this he seems lost. At times, its his time to step it up. I feel like he is so passive guys stand around when he drives. And when he makes a nice pass guys do not seem to be ready for it. Its almost like hes caught in Limbo. Hes a great young player that does not fit in at the moment. But, i believe he will be but he has not reached his peak because the other young players on the squad are still finding their identities. It grieves me to think he will be a martyr on this team. But it looks like it. Jordan can take the ball to the rack but not with everyone watching. He can pass but not with everyone standing. Its almost like the other players do not know what to expect from him.
To me the problem with Jordan isnt Jordan. Its the development of everyone else. If the coach built around him i feel like he would excel his game to a new level. I really feel he is the most ready. Hes shown the willingness to pass and to score. But in the scheme of things it just never really seems to fit. I KNOW he will be a starting PG in t his league, but it just cant be with us.
If the Lakers do decide to trade. I propose a couple of trades.
Lakers Trade
Clarkson
Randle
1st round pick
Lakers Get
Anthony Davis
Starting Line
PG Russel
SG Williams
SF Ingram
PF Anthony Davis
C Mozgof
Lakers Trade
Clarkson
Randle
Lakers Get
Nikola Jokic
I know probably most guys dont know who he is but i have been watching him the last couple months, he just wasnt getting minutes, then when he did OMG. Take the 4 mins to watch this its amazing. Hes a meld between Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki
And if you got time
Starting Line
PG Russel
SG Williams
SF Ingram
PF Jokic
C Mozgof
Lakers Trade
Clarkson
1st round pick
Lakers Get
Carmelo Anthony
