    9 points and 8 rebounds. Not bad at all. The hustle should always be there. He looked comfortable with the ball at the top of the key and taking it to the hoop.

    That's the thing Kenny Smith was saying about this team that I never really thought about. We have 2 of each skill set at most positions.

    Once Zublocka has a few years under his belt, we'll have two Mozgoves as well

    Besides everything else in the game last night, I loved TRob's effort. The man was on a mission and worked super hard. He deserves some props

    Yeah he was definitely worthy of a bump... not quite Tarik but more shifty so he's able to play the smaller PFs/bigger SFs pretty solid. Dunno wtfudge happened in the second half other than they would not miss. Glad to see Rob developing... he needs to work on 10-15 footers and he can play another ten years in this league.

    I was excited about getting him as a summer camp tryout. He was a former 5th overall pick and while he's had trouble sticking, he does one thing consistently: work hard. I always want a guy like that on my team.

    To his credit he's also proving that he can grow a little. He's dribbling more, taking jumpers, and in general playing a confident game right now. He's not as valuable as Nance Jr., but he's proving that he can step in for Tarik pretty effectively.

    Wait a minute... I sense sarcasm

    My keen powers of observation tell me you don't really like Mozgov at all do you?

    Zu is a favorite young player of mine since we picked him up. But right now I think Moz is "quicker" in his basketball moves on offense and defense and passing and everything than Zu. Zu needs to get quicker and expand on his go to moves. Maybe just 10% and he's there with Moz as far as running the floor and quickness. Doesn't play that many minutes that he can't try at least to step up the pace of his game. He has the coordination even as a rookie to do so.

    Lakers have done well as of late in finding those early draft picks that have under performed and getting something for them. TRob is another one of those.
