A guy who could do a lot of this and more is DeAndre Hunter but he's likely long gone by 10th.
Everything you described here is why I think the Lakers should give Brandon Clarke a look even in the late lottery.
#1 in FG%
#5 in 2pt FGs
#8 in 2pt FG%
#1 in Blocks
#4 in BPG
#2 in Player Eff RTG
#2 in eFG%
#5 in True Shooting %
#1 in Off RTG
#1 in Def RTG
#9 in Off WS
#2 in Def WS
#1 in WS
#1 in WS/ 40 min
#5 in Off +/-
#2 in Def +/-
#2 in Overall +/-
Gamecock - I'm not particularly well-versed in this draft yet, but I'd be THRILLED if we got Brandon Clarke at #11.
My man!!!
The only other player I'm interested who is mocked in that range is Darius Garland. He only played 5 games but he was projected top 5 in preseason. If the Lakers pick either, I'm happy.
You mentioned getting someone who can play off of the screens, think we could get 1 of Kyle Korver or JJ Reddick?
Bullock could honestly play this role. I would like someone better, but the root of the issue isn't the player but the execution. Watch how badly we run the stagger action against the Bucks, and then have no backup plan when it blows up other than a high PnR and subsequent ISO.
In contrast, watch how well the Bucks run this the next time down.
Snell makes great contact on his Ingram screen to create the open look. In contrast, the Lakers make no contact on their screens, have no plan B, and quite frankly look lost on the court.
There are some subtle points here, though. Mirotic is not afraid of Kuzma and jumps out a little to bother Bullock. The right answer to this, IMO, should have been for Kuzma 1) to set a better screen or 2) slip the screen and backdoor to the rim. Giannis would have had to step up and help, which would have gotten the open LeBron corner 3. But like I said, execution was lacking here. _________________ (bleep) David Stern.

JJ Reddick is an expert when it comes to playing off of screens, Bullock wouldn’t be a bad back up plan though.
True, but Connaughton is not really an expert, and he looks like a pro in the above clip getting a wide open 3.
I would love Reddick here, but the guy I REALLY want is Danny Green. Best 3FG% in the league and is a good defensive player, both of which we desperately need. _________________ (bleep) David Stern.
i think a lot of this talk about the details of the coaching strategies and principles are a little extreme. as in, i really dont think these strategies are the way they are presented. its going to be little more than lebron brings the ball up, passes to someone, and they just do basic things on the fly. same as luke, same as everyone else who plays on a lebron team. nothing will be different. next year, we'll see the amazing subtle coaching strategies that go on lol. it'll be exactly the same.

Check out my topic on Lue vs. Williams offensive breakdown. It is MUCH more complicated than that, especially with regards to Lue. You should see the deep chess game he played with the Celtics in the playoffs last year.
There's a lot of clever offense that Lue brought into the Cavs. What you probably are remembering, is that Lue's offense was primarily predicated on forcing the switch and attacking mismatches, especially in the playoffs against switchier teams - because a lot of screen heavy action blows up in the face of a defense like that. And when you have LeBron, he can severely punish mismatches. _________________ (bleep) David Stern.

I'm certain that's exactly what it will look like to you.
