Actually there have been multiple posts about it already. No video yet though so thanks.
Pretty cool for sure

Can anyone convince me that he shouldn't see some time with the pros before the end of the year?

How's his passing?

Why don't teams want a low post player like Lofton if he's unstoppable
I'm sure there are many reasons though

His passing is decent. He was second on the team in assists last night.

His career trajectory only makes sense to me if I assume he's a terrible defender. Is that a safe assumption?

If he can make plays in scenarios like dribble handoffs (where he is the primary ball handler and makes a read about whether to hand off or not), AND if he can defend, then he's obviously an NBA player. So... one or both of these things hasn't been true in the past, and may not be true today. Dude is young, though.

In short.... I'm intrigued and confused.

A center that can initiate some offense and shoot threes would look fantastic next to Lauri.

I wonder if there have been any character issues...?

Zach Randolph part deux.

Twenty years ago the dudes probably an all star. It seems his game would fit perfectly in that era.

FWIW, I did see a comment from someone who watched the game and they said Lofton displayed some big immaturity issues. So he might have to sort some of that out.

He should get a chance because why not, but I don't personally believe he's an NBA player.

If you have access go and watch his November 1st game against us when he was on the Grizzlies. It's actually one of his most productive games of his career, but his complete lack of defense made it so he was still a negative on the court.

Remember the Big Al days?
