While he may not be that lock down defender that AA was his defense shows up in other ways. If we get 10-12 points a game from him consistently it's going to be a difference maker.

This is his best season to date, and looking at his stats, it's clear he contributes plenty - not including the intangibles he brings. Unfortunately, he's also one of the players some "fans" don't allow to make any mistakes. I never see anyone freaking out when J. Lawson dribbles out of bounds every game he's in or when Davis throws a pass into Neverland, for example.

Probably because J. Lawson doesn't handle the ball on every possession like Alo does. It happens maybe once a game. Stepping on the sideline is a mistake of being unaware of your position on the floor. Dribbling into 3 6'6" dudes guarding the basket, leaving the floor without a plan of who you're going to pass it to, trying a length of the floor pass when a 10 foot pass will do, etc, are poor DECISIONS. There is a difference.

I guess you're not factoring in how many times J. Lawson touches the ball and his minutes on the floor versus Lomax? Thanks for validating my comment, even if indirectly. Like I stated, Lomax is among the few players never allowed to make any mistakes, by some fans. All of the players make plenty of mistakes every game, but a certain subset of the board seems to always single Lomax out and remain silent about others (or make excuses for them.)

When you start with nonsense, which I highlighted in bold, nobody can take you seriously. Lomax is not the problem. Stammers did a fine job of posting some interesting points, so I'll take the liberty of pasting them. Personally I feel that J. Lawson has a lot to look forward to, but he isn't anywhere close to being ready to replace Lomax. To deny what Lomax brings to the team is something else. He must be banging Cleopatra in your basement.

You "take me seriously" enough to answer my post. Why don't you just move along if you don't need to take me seriously?

It's not nonsense. It's called an honest question. If you can't answer it, just say so. I NEVER denied what Lomax brings to the table. I like him as a player. I don't think he should be out there WITH Kendrick, but I like him.

But you deflecting instead of answering the question shows your insecurity and defensiveness.
