This is the defining game of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot’s nascent NBA career. 18 points, way more than his previous career high of 12, and evidence that he can stick in this league for more than a few meager seasons. Trust the process!
These highlights basically blueprint how he will score the bulk of his points during his career. That way being: outrunning lazy defenders down the court, getting dimed by T.J. McConnell, and making layups. It’s like Dirk’s fadeaway or Hakeem’s dreamshake. The Luwawu-Cabarrot cherry-pick. He also did some other stuff in this game, but that stuff isn’t as sustainable as cherry-picked buckets against the Lakers.
