That's insane. What are the odds he's ever an all-star himself?
I’m not going to criticize for actually trying to develop a player. He’s a fan favorite. Odds are this is smoke though.

I'm not seeing much development from last season to now. He's a great story and a real try-hard player, but elevated to starter (and defensive target) he's overmatched far too often. At 25, upside from this point moving forward is somewhat limited.

If he has this inflated perception around the league, it might be time to cash that chip IMO. I think the Lakers are overcompensating for making a terrible decision about the last fan-favorite they decided to let walk, Alex Caruso.

Probably pretty low especially since he plays with AD and Bron. Even when Bron retires he is unlikely to be a reserve AS but I guess anything is possible.

Bad losses happens during the 82 game marathon that is the nba season
Yep....why I thought fans were being nuts when I saw complaints about our 13-3 and now 14-4 stretch because it was against some weak teams.

Really good teams at full strength lose to bad teams all the time. Let alone when missing key players.

He’s just ducking Ayton and the rain in the Pacific Northwest.

I’m pretty sure no matter why he missed Saturday he had to miss another game or two. I wouldn’t blame him on this one though, nothing but whackos up there.
