    A Rolls Royce of a player. Can do anything you possibly want from him at a high level: playmaking, driving to the basket, catch and shoot, defence.

    So far he's been the biggest upgrade we had since last season and I hope he signs an extension.

    His defense continues to amaze me. Was not expecting him to be this strong defensively.

    He's good: needs to figure out on those mid range floater whether the team would be better off if finds a shooter but other then that solid on offense.

    Yes it seems almost a luxury to have a top tier type of PG again since when in the regular season. The kind other teams have.

    Dennis looks like the 3rd star. Lakers got him for scotch tape and bazooka gum.

    I thought so too but those are the shots he usually takes and makes. He plays out of control sometimes but it's the price you pay for having an undersized guard.

    He very well might be the best PG we've had since GP, who was a square peg in the triangle. I don't count Bron as a point guard.

    He really played some great D at the end, made up for his shot being off for most of the night.

    I'm really impressed with how he uses his size or lack thereof. He uses it better than most 3-4 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier.

    Are you serious? Kendall Marshall is the best PG the Lakers have ever seen.

    I expected him to be good for us, but not this good. His defensive intensity has been a big surprise.

    So far so great! I was opposed to him starting but he’s proven too valuable to take him out of there now.

    Pleasantly surprised our starting lineup working well. Hope this pattern holds true all year especially against tougher competition

    So, from that list, our starters are by far the best offensively, but also the worst defensively. I'm encouraged that they are so good on offense so soon incorporating two new starters. I'm also hoping the defense issue is just an effort level thing,

    Could be effort, could also be learning to play with each other. Time is needed to adjust to each other on that end as well.

    I'm impressed with The Hedgehog so far. He seems to have an edge to his game that I like. I don't know how he hits that jumper, it looks so weird but it works.
