so that kind of got things off to a bad start. There was some injury stuff that maybe weighed in year 2. Plus his stupid video thing made him a bit unpopular.

Most of that stuff is pretty superficial in hindsight. He also seems like he would have been a really good fit in what Luke was trying to do offensively if they'd have been patient with him. Then again, maybe props to Kenny Atkinson for highlighting his strengths and overlooking some of the stuff he doesn't do well yet? Maybe he wouldn't have turned into the guy he is today if he'd played under Luke.

It also kind of underscores the Lakers lack of patience and ability to develop players in general. Picking a raw 19 year old PG and then giving up on him after 2 years before he's even old enough to drink doesn't seem like something most good franchises would do.
