[Halpern] Taurean Prince on his role with the Lakers, “I feel more valued here than I have anywhere in my career.”

1. Does not deserve the hate he was getting. For his contract, he’s been huge. Maybe shouldn’t get 30+ minutes every night but that could change once Rui is healthy

2. Some would say valued too much

3. Which is why this team is hot garbage lol

4. Someone once responded to me that Prince hasn’t started since 2019, so what makes me think he should start now. I said it’s about how he’s playing now; not what he did in those past years. Prince is our most consistence three point shooter and is at the very least is an average defender, which is why he gets considerable playing time. Just because Gilbert Arenas does a funny bit on his show doesn’t make it the truth. I am glad he is on the team this year.

5. absolutely love being a part of the Lakers! It’s like having a front-row seat to a basketball symphony. I bring my A-game every night, making moves that leave defenders in awe. Did you know that Lakers have won 17 championships, the most in NBA history? Talk about legendary!

6. Hell yes. He’s pretty good for the Lakers but don’t think he deserves 30+ minutes every night.

7. I like Taurean. He gets hated on too much. Ham just plays him a bit too much

8. Hit a big 3.. that’s all u can ask for.. hits 3s and play defense..

9. We know bro

10. As everyone is saying in this thread , he’s fine / good… but just doesn’t deserve 30+ mins WHICH IS NOT HIS FAULT. You already know whose fault that is… so stop with the TP slander. Top 3 most consistent 3pt shooter on the team the last month or so next to probably Bron and Reaves (don’t have stats pulled up just assuming)

11. One of Ham’s favourite

12. I like prince a lot

13. he’s better than 2020 Danny Green

14. He’s been really solid, people should stfu

15. He takes eight 3s a night and makes almost 40% of them. And it’s no anomaly. For his career, he shoots 3s very well and takes a lot of them.

16. I never forgot how this sub treated KCP while he was with us (y’all roasted him consistently). Now he’s talked about as positively as any former Laker. This sub is so reactionary it’s crazy. Prince is a good player. A very important player for our team. He should be playing a lot – end of story

17. yeah because Ham is giving you 35 minutes per night.

18. Prince is not the problem, being inserted into the lineup at the wrong times and being paired up with Cam is the problem.

19. His ceiling is Danny Green on the Spurs, and we just want him to be better than the Danny Green on the Lakers.
