Lou takes some ill advised shots but at least he has the cojones to take them and play his game which is to score OTOH we have the p***y Rhyno whose role is to take and hit outside shots but he seems to scared to even take them shots. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take
I like the idea letting Lou Williams initiate and create offense, but he's super-reluctant to do it here. That's a common symptom of acquiring a new player - they defer or play timid. It's going to take a full training camp to get Lou where he needs to be as far as running the offense goes. I do NOT like the idea of letting Eric Gordon run the offense. He's been much better at it in the playoffs, but generally, it's a turnover waiting to happen. He's also not good at creating offense for others or knowing when to pass. He can attack to score, but not to create, when he tries to do that it's chaos.
I love how I love all four of our guards for different reasons. Lou is not afraid of the moment at all. At the end of the day make or miss he has two girlfriends so he just lets it fly
A week ago, I would've agreed that letting Gordon run the offense was a bad idea. But he's been really impressive after laying an egg in Game 1.
Our trio of guards offer a daunting change of pace: - Beverley is a simple top speed sprint with or without a pick that ends in a kickout, lob, or floater attempt that is actually surprisingly accurate. - Ego is much slower in comparison, but you have to respect his shot and step back so you got to play him close. His finishing ability is mediocre, though that stop at the last second and toss it up trick card has been pretty successful when used. - Lou is a mini poor man's Harden. He is not fast or strong so is rather ineffective when challenged at the rim, but very good at shooting on the move which results in him getting fouled. Our guard unit is very good when on, which is good for when the other team's star(s) sit.
He makes the most difficult shots, moving horizontal while shooting. He's also a master at drawing 3 point fouls. His performance is in a different level during playoffs.
It must really frustrate teams and defenses to see him and Harden marching to the charity stripe so many times, because they CANT.STOP.REACHING.
