I can't tell who that is, was that Beno Udrih?

Wow, Beno Udrih making a nice move.

DEEP3CL,

Way to spin it. No, I won't be upset. Again, I was talking about his possible future potential. And again, I was not saying he's the next Harper. I said that I think he could play the role of the tall PG one day, that he could be that reliable coaching brain out there — the one that makes the right decisions initiating the offense, just like Harper did in his last years when he didn't have his athleticism to rely on any more. It's funny how things get warped here. Well, well. I have no personal agenda to keep him for the wrong reasons. If he's not good enough to make the roster now, he should be cut. I did expect him to look better in these first games, however, so yeah, I'm a little disappointed that my wild card didn't come through. I still think he'll be a very solid NBA player in the future.

Look Erik Eleven, I get the gist of what your saying. Yes Karl does exhibit the makings of a very intelligent point guard or combo guard. But from the early showings of this preseason he's just not playing with the confidence you expect of a players with his mental skill and the physical tools.

It's just that the team is now in a different stage now being a contender, they have no time to wait for a fringe player to come around and hope he can fill a need for them on a consistent basis. But for me breaking down his game as I have, he's just not meeting the expectations from most on this board. Example, every time he gets a touch his first shot is a long jumper............drive to the rack and keep the offense in flow. Every shot doesn't have to be a jumper, his shot isn't as fluid as Sasha's it's always long and flat looking.

But your not reading all of the responses here about Karl.........cause your only pointing your comments at me. But I'm not the only one here who feels he not worth being on the roster at this point in his career. Yes maybe one day he'll be on an NBA roster just not ours. Your one of his biggest supporters here, sorry if I don't feel he's the caliber player you think he may be. I've watched the NBA and the Lakers for like 3 decades and sorry to tell you man but I've seen this story over and over again.

Coby and Kobe aren't playing that well, but I really like Coby's game. A really nice prospect for the triangle, give him some time and he'll show what he can do.
