Latest piece I wrote, couldn't copy and paste it from my phone so if someone could assist with that I'd appreciate it, hopefully the videos will transfer properly.
I know it's early, but I want to see who calls this one...
Who will be these new look Lakers franchise player? Who will take this team on their back and lead them to a title? if you had to pick only one young player, who would it be?
I know with the early Pre-Season play it's easy to say Randle, but Clarkson is looking reeeeaallly good out there too. I honestly can't decide between the two.
Clarkson's just a second year player and he's pretty good at everything while Randle still has a few holes in his game, like knocking down that open jumper defenses give him. At the same time, Randle looks to be a dominating player out there. He's right, so far, no one can guard him. But Clarkson's a better defender right now IMO, and he's only going to get better. Clarkson's also more of a vocal leader out there from what I've seen.
Russell's a little too young and raw out there for us to really know what we have in him, but as he develops, who knows...
Byron believes in 3 point shooting now? Maybe this also means Ryan Kelly gets more playing time at back up PF than Brandon Bass if he wants a little more 3 point shooting.
