It will be awesome for the young guys to have legitimate starting quality vets in the lineup. Seriously, Loul and Moz are the first such examples of that for any of the guys drafted 2014 or since.

Mozgov/Deng/Calderon compared to Boozer/Price and other garbage is the size of Mt.Everest in terms of Impact and presence. |

I'm glad Luke and the staff were being cautious with him, we know what Deng brings. |

| I've been a little nervous about Deng's health with all his "rest" games this preseason. I know he had a bruised leg, but whenever he played he looked a couple steps slow |

"probably" means he's playing btw. Why would the Lakers risk playing him in preseason or Deng play hard in preseason? He's a veteran. Both he and the Lakers know what he brings.

Just give us 60-65 healthy games this year please.
Ingram can step in when he needs rests.

Anthony Brown injured him in practice.
And he came back from that and was playing halves but Luke decided not to push it and he looked fine when he was out there.
The only guy really hurting atm is Calderon. |

Was a really nice and calming influence at the end of the game. Serves his role nicely.

Unfortunately we don't have minutes for Bass, but he was role model last season. |

Nice to see him talk to D’angelo after his turnover at the end. Perfect mentor for the young guys in a close game like this. |

May be a better thing anyway...
Deng is a nice veteran balance next to JC/Nance/Black |

There's no rush. Let Ingram get a lot of the rookie bumps out while coming off the bench with little expectation. With that said, I agree

Patience. Have you heard of that concept? Plus his role down the road is a reserve combo forward. He's keeping the seat warm for Ingram.
