In this CBA, it feels like the importance of 2nd rounders, undrafted, 2 way players just get more important. If you can hit on one, it helps your cap sheet so much

Through 35 games in g last year averaged 14+ points on 37% from 3 and 85% ft. Yes 50% is u reasonable, but dude his a great floor spacer and has a chance to see the floor this year.

He doesnt need to stay hot. His defense is why we are signing him. He’s a defensive pest, constantly pushing the pieces, and shoots the shot in the glow of the offense. He made it in Summer League because of repetition.

Long as u gotta put a man on him, he stretches the floor.

He’s pretty good with attacking close outs, overall makes correct decisions when the ball is in his hands, that’s more than enough for a coach to give him minutes imo

He’s a smaller less athletic Naz Reid, if he can keep playing like this?

I always favor non stupid players first, worked out well for us last time we had Hart, Caruso, Lonzo, Kuz in summer league team

He has put up decent stat lines in the G but we will have to see if that can translate.

Honestly even if Suder did do well, what we need are big men and 3&D forwards. Maybe he had a case pre-Free agency but honestly it’s hard to imagine even the best version of him having a role between Reaves, Grimes and Luka. I feel like his best case scenario would have him as more of good shooting combo guard with mid defense. I don’t think he ever projected as a defender.

Definitely. It’s like 0 risk for 2-ways. Whereas min contracts are much risker than they seem as > 50% seem like they aren’t even worth that.

Unfortunately AK47 is already taken

Give Matisse #16

Kaluma?  Did Pelinka confuse him for kuminga. ?😂

Funnily enough there is another guy named AK(Okereke) on the lakers summer league squad

Austin Reaves does not like being called AR-15

I watched him play for a total of one possession and that was my first thought too

You guys can have him back if you want

Just send LaMelo and Ant

Me too, the real question will be how he can defender forwards. If the shooting is real and he can find a role defensively then he could be lite version of Rui.

My concern as well. His physique already looks like it’s maxed out as well so him getting stronger to be able to bang at the 4 is already questionable. Think he’ll always be questionable on the defensive end. However, I do like that he’s on a team with Luka and AR. He’s shown he has touch and can contort his body in the lane to finish plays so hopefully playing with two unathletic elite scorers helps him develop some.

He also deserves lunch!

Margin moves have been looking really nice, we’ll see how they pan out

Naz Reid

For real. I saw Lakers, then F K… my brain immediately autocompleted to Kuminga.

Talent depth of the league is at all time high

I think when Suder didn’t play at all in the semis, that was the writing on the wall for him

no one yet, dont gotta finalize the 15 spots for another couple months or so

Grow up

I think Lakers are out 2 way contracts to give out.

Dont think lebron wants LA unfortunately.

Better on-ball defense tho

This is an actual signing…
