Preseason Game #3 vs New Orleans Pelicans | 7:00 PM CST | NBATV

[Chicagojk]

Yeah, he's really jumped off the screen in a couple of these games.  DJJ didn't hit 34% of his 3's and didn't take 3 a game until he was 26.  Lawal is bigger, looks like he can defend and may shoot 70% as a PNR finisher.  But, he's also 23 already.  I hope he makes the 15-man next year, because he's fun to watch.  Might even be pretty be a valuable guy if he develps a 3.  His FT's look good to me, but time isn't on his side.

Yeah he has looked good.   For a guy like him, it is tough to tell until you see how he fits in with real rotation players.    Obviously the shooting is something that has to be improved on.   Probably more important is him being reliable on defense rotations and principals.  If he does, he could get playing time eventually even with a spotty shot.
