And the offense is more fluid this year well in the first half of the Raptors game so we can compensate less below average offense from DLO for Cam who raises the defensive floor fs
Cam is a streaky shooter while being a great slasher. Add that into being a tenacious perimeter defender he's a game changer. I feel sometimes he zones in and out and the lack of effort shows sometimes, maybe with him starting it could change a lot for us.
I want to see cam doing this off the bench once vando comes back. 20 minutes off the the bench with DLO, covering the same issues he does with Austin in the starting lineup!
They won’t put Vando in the starting lineup because he’s not a consistent scorer, Cam is a 3 level scorer and above average corner shooter that’s y it’s ok to put cam there
@HDxPolo Cam a 3 level scorer? Lol good one. He's a disaster on offense. He only needs to shoot the 3 consistently, and he'd be a 20 million a year player. Yet he's spent his whole career unable to do even that on offense. There's a reason he's called chaos Cam.
We absolutely need Cam to be more active on offense. He's a good slasher and athletic, long guy, he needs to be cutting more to the rim and stand less in the corners. Rui is terrible (for his size) in the paint, we need someone else to provide that kind of phisical rim pressure off the ball when AD or LeBron are not in the paint. JJ has a lot of setup with AD and Hayes setting screens out of the paint, and this leaves an opening for someone to attack. JJ tried to fit Rui into that spot, but he can't make a layup to save his life, so Cam needs to be slotting into that role more. Nothing major, but there are at least 3-5 dunks/layup available every game to non-center off ball players and we need someone who will make them at a higher clip than 45% (yes, Rui is shooting better from 3 than he is from the restricted area).
This is why I am so god damn high on players like jerami grant and the nets wings. We go from a badly fitted roster to a much better fit, greater length,more consistent shooting and more gravity on our offensive players. People don’t realize that having 3 and d wings would have positive impact on so many small things like rebounding, transition defense and offense,switching, help defense and it would put the ball more in our best floor generals hand which is Lebron. It is literally how we won our championship yet we routed away from it.
@ yeah prob the best trade out there. Team has been dying for a 3 and d wing. It’s been 4 years since we had legit 3 and d guys.. schroder would help our point of defense too on the guard position.
he's been like this ealier the seaon until his injuries make him out of rhythm. i hope hell do great this time. but not holding my breath. i just hope at least vando gets back one he's starting to slip off again.
Cam Reddish will never be the superstar everyone thought he could be when he was drafted. But. There's no reason he can't be a Rick Fox type for this team - a team that needs all the defensive help it can get. Splitting up D-Lo and HBK was an added benefit of this decision to start Reddish. I hope people won't start complaining when he goes scoreless a few times. They just don't understand his value. Can't wait for Vandy to get back too. The D will be ratcheted up then. #PurpleReign
i just hate how they hate on my boy for not having a lot of points when jj has him out there to help out wit defense yk but he always gon try and score or shoot cuz he not just a defender yfm
@akaspon1 this has been multiple years of the dlo experience, this is not a moment. He has zero pace, zero energy, zero effort on defense, ever. People get tricked into thinking he’s a positive impact player because he is very skilled. Excellent handle, a tough shot maker, and sometimes even flashes some solid playmaking chops. But you know what? None of that matters literally at all if you’re going to constantly make horrible decisions on both ends of the floor and then also exert the bare minimum amount of effort and focus, no more excuses for him. He is a solid bench player, that’s his destiny.
@ Not really. Speaking in extremes just doesn’t make sense to me. I NEVER see the reason for that in evaluating anything. Sounds like Trump. The worst, best, always, never…
Reeves is so bad on defense but his fans don't want to acknowledge that. The front-court duo of Reeves and D'lo are the reason why the Lakers lose games.
I don’t think that is completely true. The rebounding and not getting back which has always been an issue since 2020 is the problem. I think lack of athletes and age are the Lakers biggest problem. They have no young talent to offset natural limitations of the core players. Bron is older, AD is a big, Rui and D-Lo aren’t slow footed and AR is not strong enough.
There are 3 or 4 things which can make Lakers a Championship contender: Starting Five : Austin Reaves, Vando, SamuRui, Lebron, AD 1. Vando coming back and fitting in perfectly at the starting five as a defensive stop. 2. SamuRui becoming mean, physical, committing fouls and becoming a scowling Draymond Green like monster Bench Mob : D Lo, Gabe Vincent, Cam, Christian Wood, Koloko !! 3. Cam, DLo, Koloko and Christian Wood coming off the bench 4. Cam, Gabe Vincent and Koloko forming a formidable league best defense trio.
Good minutes from Cam. Can't wait until Vando gets back. Having two of these dudes raises our defensive floor by so much.
Agreed
Yeah we need the Vandolorian back!
And the offense is more fluid this year well in the first half of the Raptors game so we can compensate less below average offense from DLO for Cam who raises the defensive floor fs
Its shocking how different lakers D looks by merely adding an athlete on the perimeter.
Its shocking to you
And just imagine one guy made an impact, imagine him and vando on perimeter while AD at the rim
Really shows how the lakers simply need a little more balance. Nothing drastic.
@@jhavannerose434I got no faith in Candi coming back, and actually being VANDO
No Maxey, No Embiid... so you think the defense really works 😅 Let's try that with the 2 on the court. 🙄🤔
GOD I can't WAIT until Vando gets back
Lakers sorely needing more of the great defense he and Cam help provide
Exaclty what i just thought Vando alone provides a lot of élite defense
Cam actually can be a viable offensive threat. We will see how long it will take before the coaching staff realizes it
If he can hit hes threes
100
Cam scored 40 on ANT in HS
@@RWMJ907cam is a offensive guy has always been they need to trust him more man
@@L.S.1yea he’s a 2 way player but jj gotta unlock him
Always love to see Cam helping us out, he's got special abilities that we do need

@@MAP-Designslol wat the hell are you talking about go look at his highlights you dummy he’s a three level scorer, you out here making shit up
if he had any offense at all, especially a mid range like Rui, he would be lethal af.
Great breakdown
Austin should continue gaining muscles throughout the season
LEGGOOO i've been wanting this one
Are you going to break down Max's defensive foul problems and why he got benched?
no need to breakdown. he's trash and pelinka wasted 32m on him
@@monsanityyyLMAO 😂
Cam reddish with a cam Johnson instead of Rui is a big win
Awesome job, my beloved Brother!!! 🎉

I hope we can acquire jrue holiday type of player. To partner with AR and main backcourt defense while davis main front court defense

Yes. Let's get Cam Johnson, DFS, and Schröder.

Cam actually has an offensive bag if you remember his time in Atlanta but he knows his role and trying to figure it out
he's been like this ealier the seaon until his injuries make him out of rhythm.

All last year I told people Cam was better then Max and they talked shit. Now all these dudes saying Max is trash and don’t need minutes smh.
I was trying to wait and see, but I admit you're right
Dlo needs to be traded for a consistently point guard with size and can shoot thats all we need
Cam Reddish helps the Lakers by not being D Lo. Addition by subtraction.
Lakers have also lost plenty of games without D-lo man. Y’all get caught in the moment too often.

You must have a certain level of athleticism ti play effective defense.

agree to disagree while Reaves is consistent on offense, d-lo is just non-consistent on both sides of the floor. there needs to be a balance
There are 3 or 4 things which can make Lakers a Championship contender:
Starting Five : Austin Reaves, Vando, SamuRui, Lebron, AD
1. Vando coming back and fitting in perfectly at the starting five as a defensive stop.
2. SamuRui becoming mean, physical, committing fouls and becoming a scowling Draymond Green like monster
Bench Mob : D Lo, Gabe Vincent, Cam, Christian Wood, Koloko !!
3. Cam, DLo, Koloko and Christian Wood coming off the bench
4. Cam, Gabe Vincent and Koloko forming a formidable league best defense trio.
Gabe Vincent needs to leave. Period.
2 or 3 guard line up will never work learn from ham stupidity
