    I was thinking about our front court rotation the last couple of days w/the signing of Holmes. I thought about Nance. As someone pointed out too me, we had the following last year:

    Wesley/Boozer
    Boozer/Swaggy

    Now our frontcourt rotation consists of: Brown, Nance, Holmes, Randle and Bass. I think we're a lot better going into this year; it has me excited.

    Also a 1/2 rotation of:

    Russell/Williams
    Clarkson/Brown

    over

    Price/Lin/Clarkson
    Kobe (out)/Ellington/Brown

    with Russell, Williams, and Clarkson all capable of playing the 1 or 2. Jabari being primarily a 2. Kobe and Young may even be able to slide in to the 2 spot if we decide to go big up front.

    @brosales12 Listening to The Lowe Post: He says that respected talent evaluators have told him to keep an eye on Nance. Some Draymond in him

    I've also heard he's been impressive in scrimmages. I read that in a Pincus tweet...

    Lakers fans have had to suffer through two straight years of Wes being the primary wing defender. Have fun, Clippers fans.

    That was nasty. I got an ESPN app alert on my phone about that dunk, and they hate us, so it was impressive for sure.

    Rose up 3 feet in the air off of two dribbles from the three point line, took the contact from Ezeli and dunked it in his face. With one hand.

    Dunk of the year.

    Bass did the same thing the other game just about as high and explosive and was throwing it down with his left but missed it. He was way up there.

    Was not expecting him to get that high! His jumper still looks iffy but he made a couple jumpers.

    What a ridiculous dunk! His vertical with his wing span is just crazy.

    That was wild. I watched the game this morning at 8:00 and woke up my neighbors with a "WHOOOOOOOA".

    Loved the reaction from the bench too.
