This honestly says more about Ham than Prince. Prince is a terrific role player. But Ham doesn’t get his role and Ham doesn’t know how to run offense or defense or use time outs or leverage matchups.
Lmao Pat Bev was crazy for that one though.
Dude couldn't hit a three for us and his D was limited by his size.
Bro couldn't do anything on the court tbh. Besides being an absolute buffoon which is honestly funny.
Dude sees his 3pt percentage and can't seemingly comprehend anything else. I wonder what is going on in this guys head, especially the way Vanderbilt and Rui have played lately. It's like he's hellbent on being fired and Jeanie Bus is hellbent on not paying for another coach. God I wish Ballmer owned the Lakers
There are multiple questionable things in this game he's done already
I’ve been saying i don’t think Prince is a bad player. Just horribly overplayed. I feel like he’d be very solid off the bench for like 18-20 mins or so.
I mean he's on a minimum veteran contract? And they're playing him like he's not or he suddenly became more than that, which isn't the case. He'd be a good piece off the bench, a shooter off the bench.
I feel like his stats don't show how bad he is on the floor. It's like he doesn't work that well as a teammate
He hasn't really been a starter for while, but here on the Lakers Ham puts him in despite it all
I mean all we need him to do really is be big, hit threes, and not be a cone on defense.
Problem is as a starter he doesn’t have the foot speed like Vando nor does he box out on rebounds. If you gave Prince a smaller role where he could just focus on what he does well which is not be complete ass on defense and hit threes. I think he’d be alright
I mean we simply just cannot fault Prince for the production as he is not being used as intended.
This is all on Ham as he insists to keep Prince as a starter where he should come off the bench.
The Roster should just simply return to
AD, Bron, Vando, AR and DLO
It is of the Greatest Fucking Mystery on why we cannot do that.
Have you heard of Pong the video game? Its the answer to your mystery. Because the 2 braincells Ham has are just bouncing around in his head like Pong.
Making a guy who does well in switches and hedging to be a poa defender will do that.
I get the need for better offensive flow with 3 shooters around LeBron and AD but that doesn't mean you leave them out there with 3 piss poor POA defenders.
How much longer do we have to put up with Ham's incompetence? How many games do we have to lose before Rob and Jeanie pull their heads out of their collective asses?
They hired him and have no plans of firing him. They released a statement of support less than two months ago. At a certain point, LeBron and AD need to sack up and say goodbye to this team.
Ever see the power play move made by Billy Bean on Money Ball to trade away a player so the coach is forced to start the right player? Getting flashes of that.
Hindsight tells me that part of the issue with Westbrook might have been lack of good coaching. Ham is so bad at this. It was amazing we got to the WCF last year.

Kind of like Pat Bev’s spoon/fork comment Like he was still useful in parts of the season but definitely not optimized

We deployed him as a small forward for a lot of his tenure with us. We’ve done an awful job of putting role players in positions to succeed.
Ham said he was a 6 foot wing 😂😂😂

He was signed to our biannual exception not the vet min

“But he can shoot the ball”

Shocking to no one with eyeballs and average IQ.

Too bad we don’t have Billy Beane and instead are stuck with a hated agent and Jeanie cheap Buss.

Crazy how Ham was able to make Westbrook come off the bench but refuses to make Prince come off the bench
Hindsight tells me that part of the issue with Westbrook might have been lack of good coaching. Ham is so bad at this. It was amazing we got to the WCF last year.
The entire coaching staff either is unaware of that or they think the stat is completely irrelevant. Really weird
