They are also keeping tabs on 6-foot-8 Chinese guard Sun Yue, whom they took last year with the 40th pick.

"We're very optimistic that we can get him on the roster next year," Kupchak said. "I'll contact his agent this week and have some initial discussions."

Hope to see him get a shot at making the roster. Kid has some upside.

How about a Summer League looksie?

He deserves a chance. And he is getting one. Im hoping he impresses

More money for the Lakers to make off the Chinese populace...

sure does seem to have some ability above and beyond alot of guys in this years draft

very interesed to see what he can do.

I think he'll do better than what seems to have been the general speculations around here — that he's not NBA ready etc. I think he's got game. If nothing else, the jersey sales will pay for the lux tax. Bring him on.

I hope he:

-worked on his finishing
-worked on his right drive
-worked on his shot

he's a nice passer, ballhandler, and very intriguing defender, but unless the above issues have been improved upon, I'd rather see more of Coby Karl.

I agree with almost everything people have said here already.

Although I'm not sure how much Sun Yue improved on his game playing for the ABA. I'm also not sure how much he will improve in the Olympics, besides playing against probably the best competition in his life. I think all the significant improvements will happen if he actually gets more NBA training, there's a lot of things I think he can improve on but he hasn't had the best of oppurtunities.

Bout time he gets a chance to play for us....here's to hoping he's the next great Asian success story.

That is great.
We really need another sf who can't play D.
Our problems are solved.

i hope the kid show something this summer... july 11-20 is summer league time.. here is the sched.

If he does show something, it will be with the CNT. Just like Yao and Yi, Sun Yue is currently training in China for the Olympics.

Kupchak said the Lakers saw Sun play this season and are optimistic he'll be on their 2009-10 roster.

Sun is playing for China's national team.

"He is a player that we are intrigued in," Kupchak said. "We think he has the talent to play at the NBA level."

the sun is rising!!!!!!!!!

He will be the second thing we get closure on.
I officially lost the RJ dream on draft night so those conversations are over and when Sun gets cut thank god that will be over hopefully following that will be us not signing Kwame and that one is done to.
I hope I am wrong about Sun but I doubt it.
