Granted with football season it's hard to keep up with the Lakers as much as I typically do, but make no mistake I still check in every day to see what's going on and boy I cannot tell you how excited I am. Lakers basketball officially gets under way in a week. A new era of Lakers basketball is set to begin.
Everyone knows the Lakers have a tremendous young group of players and this could very well be the start of something very special with the Lakers. I believe the Lakers are on their way back up. I think they've done an excellent job drafting. They've signed some good role players in free agency. They hired a good, young coach and he's assembled a quality staff.
Russell has looked fantastic for the most in pre-season and looks to have a really, good second season in the NBA. Ingram isn't ready to be an impact player, but you can already see he has a chance to be special in a few years. Has the potential to be a great two way player in the coming seasons. Randle, Nance, and...
Sorry!! you know I love this kid. I do realize he's maybe a little over a year older than when we got Andrew as a rookie. But then again I don't think (?) that Epic thread was launched until the following year mid way or earlier, on Clublakers. What do you think? Bynum one full year into the league, Big Man Camp 2 years in a row back in the day, Kareem freaking Abdul Jabbar for your personal Lakers Big Man mentor .....
..... or Zu ..... who never had benefit when he was 17/18 years old playing against men already in Europe, no Big Man Camp x twice, no Kareem ..... hell not even a weight room or decent trainer prior to this summer?
