got a DNP last night, was hoping he would get an opportunity this year, he might be better off getting out of L.A.

His lack of shooting and limited defensive foot speed will be hard to overcome. I'm afraid he may have a short NBA career.
will spend most of the year in G league. His future in LA was doomed the day the "King" held the franchise for ransom with his contract opt out. Now every night can be father/son night at the Forum. JHS is a 5th wheel now and needs a new home stat.
Assuming JHS is healthy he should get a real opportunity. Unfortunately, he's on a team run by a player and not a coach or GM. That player wants his son to play. As a long time Lakers fan it's tough to watch. Hoping LJ retires or moves on to another super team so the org can get back to trying to win titles.
D'Angelo Russell? He seems pretty highly regarded... and plays well and can shoot. I think he'd start for over half the teams in the league.
There's three backups to DR before you get to JHS. He's currently low man on the PG totem pole.
Yes. I figured that is what you meant.
Max Christie is one of those guys and he is pretty underwhelming. Then Gabe Vincent and Bronny get minutes in front of JHS.
As another poster noted, JHS is low man right now. Not good to be behind Bronny who arguably should not be in the league.
Having said that, JHS has not been terribly impressive up to this point. Hope he can earn some quality time as he ramps up in the NBA.
Also being injured and sick all too often, not yet developing a consistent jumper, and slow defensive foot speed.
He may be following Romeo overseas when the rookie contract is up. Hope he figures it out.
I don't see leaving after 1 year of college as any kind of benefit to overall understanding of point guard play.
JHS had an exceptional year. He's big enough, a good enough shooter, and seemed to have overall resilience.
But playing NBA pg is definitely difficult and highly competitive. Perhaps he is more of an NBA combo guard, but in that case, 3pt shooting is imperative.
I don't know. Maybe he lacks the speed to get to the rim in the pros so far, but either way you slice it, another year in college wouldn't have hurt him. The ultimate goal is making a career of basketball. Having one more college season at PG may have helped him make the roster.

Agree. I think it would have likely better prepared him. I know some say you develop in the NBA with better coaching and 100 percent focus.
He does well in D league games. NBA players are freaks athletically and size wise. Definitely an adjustment.

And now the Lakers have declined picking up his 3rd year option for $4m. A new team may help, but will not be surprised if overseas is where he makes most of his living.
Not a bad life either way, especially if you embrace seeing the world.

He had back surgery in the off season. Thinking that has more to do with it than staying in college.
I thought he wasn’t quite ready for the NBA when he declared, especially with having to refine his PG skills.
