...is a mother fucking beast. Holy hell, the hustle this guy brings to the game is incredible. Through all 4 games so far, every time he has come in, the activity level of the team has just increased. Ballin' so far tonight--16 points, 14 boards with 2 minutes left in the 4th.
I never realized he gets as high as he does when he jumps. He was just beasting all those offensive rebounds, getting higher than everyone else.
And he's taller than he seems actually, he's got almost a body for a PF. I'm loving him also Another player that gets higher than I expected was Ebanks, that alley-oop...whooo
Devin Ebanks has impressed the hell out of me so far. If he keeps improving, he's got a shot at becoming a solid rotation player for us. And Barnes has been fantastic so far. Can you imagine how good our bench will be when Bynum is healthy and we can move LO there. Wow.
I think LO is better off as a starter. i wouldn't wanna mess with his game in any way right now. Bring drew off the bench to come in for Pau instead.
Most of our new faces have impressed the hell out of me so far. Steve Blake is phenomenal, Matt Barnes brings energy to the table every night he gets on the court, is a rebounding machine, but he needs to work on his layups a little more. He tends to miss easy ones. Devin Ebanks looks like our new Trevor Ariza and Derrick Caracter has a lot of power. And yeah, I'd rather have LO start.
I'm all for Drew being the 6th man too, largely because of how LO has played. What I'm not all for is Pau having to start all year at center. I realize, he'll be spelled by Drew for a good chunk of the game, but he'll still be playing more center than what I'd like. I'm not saying he can't, he's just better suited to player the PF spot.
A Matt Barnes-Bynum-Ebanks second unit sounds really good. Bynum would own people in that second unit. I also want Fisher with that unit and move Steve Blake up to the 1st unit.
Pau's great at the 4 and 5 with his length. He'll move to the 4 when Bynum is in. And besides, its not about Pau, it's about Odom and him maintaining his level of play. It seems like being a starter is where he's best at.
No! Keep Blake on the 2nd unit. He's a huge reason why the ball is moving so well. Don't change that shit. I can't wait for Blake to play with both Bynum and Gasol. With how he passes...alley oops all night!
Hm, i like blake with kobe, their D is so in sync together. Plus D Fish with Bynum and Barnes (each totally different intangibles) looks good. Leadership in that 2nd unit.
I think on the 2nd unit, Fish would jack up too many shots thinking he was super guard on that unit. However, this is all irrelevant to talk about because Fish will never lose his starting role.
