I think we (Lakers) need a legit center. Two power forwards and sacre wont cut it.
Overall this was a decent game. Last year was cringe inducing. It's nice to see some defense.
If only Ed Davis was like one or two inches taller than he would be perfect.
Thoughts after tonight:
- Nash actually looked pretty good. He should be a backup tho and he would work with the backup players much better than the starters.
- Lin was decent. His passing was very good and his defense is growing more and more underrated. He needs to be more consistent on his outside shooting however.
-Clarkson looked I think. Athletic, can create for himself, can get to the rim and has a good looking shot. He needs to quit forcing shots however and finish better in the basket. He's got the moves, but it won't mean anything if he can't finish.
- Kobe looking good. Good to see him back!
- Ellington is...meh. But Young is injured so I guess he's the new guy until then.
- Wesley Johnson looks good too for what he does. Continue playing off ball on offense and getting good looks, while on just focusing on being the best wing defender as possible on defense.
- Boozer is shit.
- Ed Davis is a steal.
- Randle looked very mobile and very good out there. Boy can that man run for a guy his size. Needs to control the ball better when defenders are close to him but he's already one of the better ball handling big men in the game. He got a little lazy on defense near the end of the game which is probably a conditioning type of deal. The guy is a huffer.
- Hill playing his usual role well.
- Sacre doesn't deserve to be a bench player on a college team.
