Laker Practice Report (PG/AB looking good, Radmanovic)

A lot of interesting stuff, including..
Vladimir Radmanovic is a starter for “right now,” according to Jackson. “We play really well with him out there on the floor. As long as you play well, coaches are addicted to that kind of stuff.” That doesn’t guarantee Vladi the starting spot when the Lakers next lace them up against Regal FC Barcelona on Saturday, but it is a nice vote of confidence for the big man from Serbia.
And, Andrew and Pau are starting to look good together.
The Andrew Bynum/Pau Gasol experiment seems to be heading in the right direction. “They’re playing pretty well together,” Jackson said. “It’s still a work in progress.” Phil mentioned that Pau is still learning a lot of the organizational intricacies and automatics of playing the wing spot as opposed to the center position. The advantages of these two figuring out how to play with each other has been discussed ad nausea, but Jackson brought up transition defense as something that could be a disadvantage of the twin tower setup. Both will have to realize when it’s best for them to go to the boards and when it’s best to retreat.
Also more interesting stuff about Kobe's leadership.

Bryant drives to the rack and drops off a pass to Pau Gasol for a wide-open dunk.
Bryant: “There you go Pau! There you go Pau!”
Gasol: “I appreciate that.”

Well, Vlad is right for the spacing (no pun intended). He just needs to live up to his preseason comments on his Defensive revelation.
Like I said the hard part of getting AB and Pau on track falls on Pau who's learning PF in the triangle, but luckily he's a bright guy.

If Radmanovic plays with the intensity he brought to last game, I wouldn't mind having him start on this team.
