I was watching the Bulls vs Bucks game last night and it was really irritating to see Brooke Lopez, Malik Beasley, and Alex Caruso all knocking down clutch threes and making key defensive stops the whole fourth quarter and overtime. Why is is that we let these players walk for nothing? AD doesn’t want to play Center? Imagine the interior defense Brooke and AD would have? Imagine Brooke setting screens for Lebron and flashing to the corner for those unblockable three point bombs. Caruso and Reaves running the 1-2 punch backcourt that would inspire a generation of Caucasian kids from Wisconsin to give up on their baseball career and start hooping. Malik Beasley, I don’t understand what happened with this guy. On all of his teams he has been a fiery competitor who never is shy about chucking up da rock but on the Lakers he looked like he was scared to make a mistake and he was unplayable. As good as our draft picks have turned out (Randle, Ingram, DLO, Hart, Caruso, Zubac, Reaves, etc.), and as good as our staff has gotten value out of throw away players and rehabbed their careers (monk, Reddish, Schroeder, KCP, etc.) , and as well as Rob Pelinka has done in Trades and free Agency, I will never understand why we gave these guys up. It is painful to see players we could have kept displaying the exact skills that our team needs. Along with this, seeing Malik Beasley torching the net got me thinking, “I wonder if their is some other underlying factor holding back our ability to shoot three pointers in our coaching scheme?” Everyone says people go to LA and forget how to shoot, their must be something behind this. I see other teams, like the Thunder last night, looking like they can’t miss. The Lakers don’t seem to get the same amount of open looks and our shooters do not have the same efficiency as they have had in their career. Do we not practice shooting enough? Is the lighting at staples different? Do we not have a shooting coach? Is there something missing from our development team? Is our perimeter defense way worse than other teams? Why do we look like amateur shooter and these other teams look like world beaters?
