Bynum looked good to me, but slow and rusty.

He looked slow getting up and down the court. Even DJ looked faster than him getting up and down the court, DJ looked fast lol.

Bynum's post moves looked good and developed and solid though.

He's definitely rusty.

His height/vertical also wasn't there on his jumps on his rebounds and whatnot.

He still needs time, he's not ready like the coaches said it seems. He needs some time and games to get rid of the rust.

I'm not worried about Bynum though, I know he'll be his dominant self again by the time the regular season rolls around. He just needs some time and games to get rid of all the rust and get his timing back. Thank god for preseason and camp.

PS: On a related note Kobe and Pau looked like they picked up where they left off, old man Fish is still balling, Farmar has gotten better and is nice, Chris Mihm is all we need him to be lol and just the backup C we want and need and Vlad is...meh. Lamar Odom definitely also needs some time too to shake off the rust and get back into game shape, he needs to play in the preseason and in the games a lot. Ariza is amazing, love him.

I still expect the starting lineup to be the regular Big 5 come opening day though and the start of the regular season.

D-Fish
Kobe
Odom
Pau
Bynum
