Despite his stats he played so-so. Some sloppy passes and out of control drives. Took it to the hole a lot tonight.
Though the sample is small he has shown a true jump shot in mid-range with nice touch.
Just needs more experience to clean up his game. |

Should assign Bonga back with the Lakers and play him at PF with Rondo out for another week. |

Did he compensate some with his defense? _________________ Under New Management |

Yes the effort is there and he seems to make good reads in helping teammates.
I can probably best describe what I see in that he reminds me of Lonzo lite. Not just tonight but of the 12-15 quarters I have watched this season.
Just for info although he played more PG on offense (split some with Caruso) like Lonzo he gives up the ball fairly quickly once pass half court. On defense he guarded a forward (Yuta Watanabe). |

Didn’t play as well as the box score would leave you to believe. Reverted back to SL Bonga as far as the turnovers go. The shot was falling though and had a nice block at the rim.
Played a lot of PG with Machado and Berry playing for qualifying teams for Brazil and US respectively. I think we only played 8 guys tonight. _________________ We pour this booze and we drink this booze because we think it's yummy. YUMMY! So over the tounge and down the throat to party in our tummys.

But I did not see one travel although a number of his teammates were called for this violation. |

If that performance is him not playing that well, I'm oddly more excited. _________________ Under New Management |

He's not your Bonga. He's our Bonga!
Bring it, IB! Nice initials |

If BI is out for some time, let's release the Bonga. Get him some minutes.
I think SVI needs more time to acclimate to the NBA's speed/athleticism via the GLeague.
I thought he was 2 years from being 2 years away at SPL.
He's someone erased 2 years and is just 2 years away now. Get him some time. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Come on, shake your body baby, do the Bonga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it 'til you tried it, do that Bonga beat |

Good stuff.
I doubt he gets playing time unless it's garbage time though.
Hopefully it's the Lakers blowing out the Spurs and Bongo dunks over DD. |

I think he might get some burn over Svi who has done nothing with his time. |
