Los Angeles Lakers 2012-2013

Goudelock hasn't shown any improvement in the summer league. He's still a SG trapped in a PG's body. And instead of doing what he does best (shoot), he was failing miserably during the SPL.

His main competition as the third SG may be Darius Johnson-Odom who's a little taller, more athletic and just as capable from the outside. REmember, LA used $500k to buy his draft rights from Dallas. DJO may have the inside track on the roster spot over Goudelock.

Hindi rin maganda performance ni DJO during summer league. If Ebanks comes back, I think Eyenga might be the strongest backup SG candidate.

I'm keen on seeing Nash averaging 10-20 assists per game. A lot of options to pass the ball.

+10 assist is possible

the LALakers must first improve on their FG% before SNash could do 20APG. passes with no field goals are not assist ...

[KobeWanKenobi]

The highest APG was 14.5 APG recorded by John Stockton. So Nash recording something close to 20 is almost impossible.

FYI, LA interested in Jodie Meeks, 6'4 SG who is an excellent outside shooter, but so-so defender. With Foye and Lee gone, and Brandon Rush nearly a lock to return to GSW, Meeks and Martell Webster (talented but injury prone) are the top two FA SGs remaining.

As currently constructed LA is deep up front and weak in the backcourt.

C - Bynum, Hill
PF - Howard, Jamison, McRoberts
SF - MWP, Ebanks
SG - Kobe
PG - Nash, Blake, Morris

Gone: Barnes, Murphy
50-50 Chance of making the team;: Eyenga, Goudelock, DJO, Sacre

Howard??? Where's Gasol??

[Rudy_Fernandez]

^howard?? too much imagination.

[KobeWanKenobi]

Oops. Shoud've have meant Gasol. Redoing the depth chart again:

C - Bynum, Hill
PF - Gasol, Jamison, McRoberts
SF - MWP, Ebanks
SG - Kobe
PG - Nash, Blake, Morris

Instead of E-Banks, why not use Eyenga this time. He can be used also as reliever to Kobe.

Lakers like Ebanks more than Eyenga. But there's a probability Ebanks will go in a Howard trade.

Vaughts' Views @vaughtsviews
Kobe Bryant on Anthony Davis: I took him under my wings. Everywhere I go, he goes. He has a lot of talent. I’m excited to see him grow.



Buti na lang kay Kobe dumidikit 'tong si Davis at hindi kanila CP3, Lebron at Deron. Makakahinga ng maluwag sila Dell Demps at Monty Williams.

a) Pau's gonna thrive seriously on this offense
b) Bynum's game might suffer because the offense doesn't make low post possessions a major feature. Moving and passing in the high post isn't exactly his strong suit. He's really gonna have to develop a competent 16-18 footer to be an asset in this offense.
c) Artest might thrive under this offense because he had Rick Adelman as a coach (who utizlied the Princeton O on the teams he previously coached on - Kings and Rockets)
d) Jamison will likely thrive in this O...had Eddie Jordan as a coach dati.
e) Why do I get this bad feeling that Nash gonna become a spot up shooter in this offense?

[maelith]

Lakers will use princeton offense this season. Hind kaya maapektuhan ang laro ni Nash niyan...

[LakersAcesFan]

It will be interesting to see
how the Lakers use a Princeton
offense with Steve Nash — his outside shooting certainlY helps space the floor in those sets. But not using Nash on
some more traditional pick-
and-roll sets with Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol would be a waste, as would not
allowing Nash to push the pace
and probe early in the shot
clock. He is at his most
dangerous in that setting.

My guess is we will see a
hybrid, with the Lakers
running Princeton at times but
not every time down the
court, or that they will be able
to attack for the first 10 seconds of the clock before
settling into the offense.
