First off, i am a Wesley guy. I was happy that we re signed him. but, more and more I'm realizing that he has no real game. he doesn't shoot. he doesn't slash. and his defense is just average no matter how much potential that he has. he is a glaring weakness on the floor. sometimes he doent even look like an NBA player.

He is just a guy, nothing special about him and will be forgotten quickly when he is no longer on the team.

It's as if he's gotten progressively worse throughout his career.

He's awful, wouldn't be in any 8 man rotation in the league but he's starting on this team. Henry is a much better player and should be starting.

I didn't know much about him before last season, but I saw little then to make me think he should have come back.

Wesley has no heart whatsoever. He takes nothing personal and doesn't mind getting owned

Lin/Price
Kobe/Young
Henry/Young
Hill/Randle
Davis/Hill

8 man rotation. Not going to happen I know, but that's what I would do...

Hes a con artist who clearly doesnt work on natural freakish physical abilities.


What does he do? Name one thing which he owns as a defining skill?

I'm pretty sure Mitch and the management is keeping a eye on the SF situation... they can always get someone better then Wes... and I don't think Henry is gonna make much difference if he plays minutes at the 3.... we badly need to upgrade the SF situation.... unfortunately we don't have the trade chips right now for a trade.

It's going to sound like the Dwight thing all over again.. but the guy has no edge. Always smiling and seems to be happy just being on the floor. This isn't some rec league, Wes.. this is the NBA. Get some fire in your belly or gtho.

I think that if he can stay healthy, X will be a noticeable improvement over Wes.

I never understood the hype on Wes. I've never really liked him. Yet, so many of you defend him.

Let that sink in for a minute, Wesley Johnson is the starting SF for the Lakers.... This is when you know the Lakers are at an all time low.

Sad thing is, our roster is the definition of average... if not worse. And Wes still looks like a weakness.

Wonder what Beasley would look like stretching the floor/creating his own shot.

He's on a 1 year vet min deal. We aren't contending this year. If he blossoms he's a goldmine for us. If not, it's literally meaningless. His defense is ok, so he fits our roster right now. I'll take it.
