1. Rob saw those shooting percentages and said “OH FUCK NO.”

2. As tweeted by Shams Charania

3. He’s 6’7 and can shoot; hopefully he exceeds expectations.

4. I guess this shows how bad the rest of the team is at shooting, cause he literally had one good game.

5. Gelo got waived he didnt get much time in CHA but he can def shoot he had some solid outings in the Swarm. He can lowkey be like a Seth Curry/PJ Tucker type wing he a big wing.

6. Not surprising no real reason to keep a roster spot open except tax reasons because the Lakers won’t be a buyout destination later in the season

7. I like how unhesitant he is to shooting

8. Would rather PJ Dozier, Josh Jackson, or even Harkless.

   Man had 1 good shooting game and didn’t do anything else. Also he can’t guard shit.

9. Yeah I’m fine with this. Still not guaranteed so we have two open spots if we needed them

10. I would keep Jay Huff and Swider on the 2 way deals. I think they could eventually contribute this season. Send Scottie Pippen Jr to the G league he needs more time to develop. Unfortunately I think Huff will end up getting cut and they will keep Pippen Jr.

11. Hey if he can knock down shots same way he did that warriors game, lock him in

12. The Lakers have an incompetent front office.

13. Not good signs for this season. This roster needs major changes

14. It’s crazy how it takes one good shooting game in the preseason to make our roster

15. Swide over Cole your job is taken

16. Diamond in the rough. He’s gonna shine watch

17. Read this as Lakers’ girlfriend Matt Ryan

18. Colts down horrendous

19. Even if he sucks, He won’t be worse than Matt Ryan, Quarterback for the Colts 😂🤷🏽‍♂️

20. I think he shot 37% for those 4 games he was in. If they waived him other teams were looking to get him so they had to put him on the roster

21. His defense is shockingly bad.
