Going with Nance Jr here but its either him or Huertas.

Either Nance or Ingram. Wouldn't mind either but I'll go with Ingram.

interesting take on Huertas. Do you think thats JC going to the bench and Russell going to the 2 or just Huertas starting over Russell?

There's no scenario where Russell doesn't start but if Luke wants to get the most of our PG depth, he should play Huertas at the 1 with Russell at the 2. Walton mentioning that Huertas has the best grasp on offense in training camp makes me think he might be a surprise starter.

Robinson... He's going to leapfrog Nance and pressure Randle for a starting spot...

Oh god, I hope not.

That'd be interesting tho. Everyone of us has had a conversation or two on the Randle vs Nance debate and for Robinson to leapfrog them both in just 1 training camp and a handful of preseason games. I don't mind it. I like Nance's game for the long run even tho I think Randle is way more talented but I have no problem taking the best out of the three.

I will go with Lou Williams over Clarkson.

Noticed him during the 7 minute scrimmage video on the first team with Deng, Randle, Mosgov, and Russell.

It makes a lot of sense to have Clarkson come off the bench and play 33-36 MPG and have either Russell or JC on the floor at all times.

Noticed that in the video as well just figured it was them trying to make the teams more competitive. Wonder who won that game.

Calderon, because Russell might not be a good fit as the point guard for this offense.

Posted: **Tue Oct 4, 2016 8:57 pm**

Nance over Randle for his defense.

Posted: **Tue Oct 4, 2016 9:28 pm**

Nance over Randle...

Huertas is such an unselfish player, I could totally see him leading the lakers in assists. And making Calderon expendable

Posted: **Wed Oct 5, 2016 5:33 am**

Calderon looked quite a bit better than Huertas tonight

Posted: **Wed Oct 5, 2016 6:04 am**

Not a Surprise to me, but I'm going with Black

Posted: **Wed Oct 5, 2016 6:28 am**

Nance and Ingram. But since I could only vote once I'll go with Nance.

Posted: **Wed Oct 5, 2016 1:31 pm**

What a bloody surprise, Lou started over Clarkson. Lou it is.

Yes, Lou "Tradebait" Williams

New choice... Brown at the 3... After one meaningless preseason game against the other team's second string, he's our new '3 and D Guy'... And at the 3 no less...
