I really like Bryant just from an unthusiasm standpoint. I think having him play some backup center and moving Randle back to PF on the 2nd team will help out a bit too...although he looked OK last night, I don't like Bogut very much at this point. If bryant looks reasonable I think they will cut Bogut since he's not a guaranteed contract. |

Bryant's ability to shoot may separate him from Bogut (too old) and Zubac. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

I guess they think, if needed, Bryant may have a better shot against Embiid than Zubac. |

Hmm, I wonder if that means more Brewer at the SG spot.
Or a trade is brewing.
Where's my good friend, Dr. Claw to confirm? |

Philly is big. Watched some of the Clipper game. With the exception of redick, it's like 4 centers out there. |

I've been wanting to see Bryant play I've heard that his foot speed is slow but he still looks like he has talent |

T.Bryant is averaging 20.5 pts, 6.3 rbs, 2.3 blocks in the G-League.
He's earned, at least, a temporary spot for now. The experience will be good for Hart & Zubac as-well-as Bryant.
The move strengthens SB and has no negative effect on the Lakers at the moment.
Win-win situation for all. |

How great is it going to be for us that in one month, we find out we have another kid who could be a top 15 pick if there was a redraft. This kid could be a player. |

Bogut is a traffic cone in the paint. So worthless |

maybe, but I would not bet on it....guy was totally lost on defense in SL and Preseason.....not unlike many rookies. He was ok on the ball, but he seem to miss every rotation and not really know what he was doing when the guy with the ball was not directly in front of him. |

I am a huge Zublocka fan but did you see the game last night were Bogut was protecting the rim and fighting for rebounds? I don't quite get the irrational in my opinion hate for Bogut from many on this site. The guy is a vet, has great shot blocking timing and is an excellent passer. I am totally fine with giving him 10 minutes a night when we are playing bigger teams.
Zu's time will come. _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss |

Yes last night he was on
But Every game before yesterday, man he was garbage
He did look lazy on a rebound last night all he had to do was take two steps and grab it. He just watch it bounce out. I hate that remember rodman? Dude would dive on a chair just to try and save a possession |

With how much quicker Bryant is getting as he grows into his body as he continues to work on it, I'm beginning to wonder, given his shooting ability if he's capable of playing the 4 at the next level as well as the 5.
Another thing of note, is last night Luke played Randle at the 4 a bit with Bogut at the 5.
Then a day later they put Zubac in the G League with Hart and call up Bryant.
Part of me wonders if Luke is thinking about trying a Bryant at the 5, Randle at the 4 bench lineup to see if Bryant is capable of playing the backup 5 and thus putting Randle at his natural position, and being able to not play Kuzma 40 minutes a game because he was allergic to playing Randle at the 4.
If that is the case and Luke does indeed try a Randle/Bryant at the 4/5 slot with the bench and it winds up working out well (Bogut and Randle were surprisingly an effective front court last night BUT it was against the Suns)
However if Bryant at the 5 and Randle at the 4 works, then it may wind up being Nance that's odd man out. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Hopefully, we'll have someone to challenge shots at the rim when Brook is on the bench. Already tired of seeing opposing players take it all the way to the rim while our players give each other curious looks wondering who was supposed to rotate and challenge.
I like the increased pressure on the perimeter this season but the interior is still a big problem. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |
