Hey guys, this week's LakersNation piece is about what it's going to take for Clarkson, Randle, and Russell to make the leap and pull the Lakers out of the mire.

This summer has been a shaky one for Los Angeles Lakers fans, from the euphoric highs of the draft to the crushing lows of watching the top free agents slip away yet again. GM Mitch Kupchak did what he could to salvage things after being spurned (pun intended) by primary target LaMarcus Aldridge, signing veteran value players like Lou Williams and Brandon Bass. He then capped the summer off by trading for slumping two-time All-Star Roy Hibbert in a low-risk, high reward deal with the Pacers. All in all, the topsy-turvy ride finally came a rest somewhere in the middle of the emotional spectrum, with fans marginally content but far from satisfied.

Byron Scott says analytics will have a bigger role in upcoming Lakers season

Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach Byron Scott called in to The Home Team this morning to share his views on the teams upcoming season. From Kobe Bryant’s health to D’Angelo Russell’s (the team’s No. 2 draft pick) performance in the Summer League to Julius Randle to the role of analytics to rebuilding the franchise. Clay Moser is the team’s new “analytics guy” and Byron Scott says:

We'll be using a lot more. Clay can bridge the gap between the analytical guys and the coaching guys. There are analytical guys who don’t have a clue about the game of basketball so one of the reasons we hired Clay was to bridge the gap. We are going to use analytics a lot more because the language is a lot better as far as him being able to relate it to us and to them as far as what we want to see.
