I think it's bc he was hurt early on with the BUTT injury. He was moving gingerly.
He's slow when you compare him to guys like Westbrook and Lillard. Not a knock on him because in time he will get stronger and quicker IMO due to training and just his body maturing but there are several PG's that are quicker.
He's unique and deceptively quick, especially his release. Besides, he's a combo guard, not a true point guard, which is fine with me. He excels playing with Huertas and I take back anything negative I may have said about Marcelo. I can also see him playing alongside a defensive guard in the mold of Sefalosha, Tony Allen or even Iman Shumpert. If the Lakers keep their top 3 pick and draft a scoring type of wing, Jordan Clarkson becomes expendable in a trade for that big who Rev refers to, who ever that is.
I love what I am seeing from D-lo. His body is nowhere near matured and he is 6'5" tall with length. He's already developing a post game.
