Derrick Caracter or Devin Ebanks: The Choice Is Yours

I really like our rookies this year, so came up with this silly idea for a mixtape and went with it. Let's hope Phil gives Derrick some more minutes to rest Pau and we'll see Devin back in the league some day.

Cool remix. Got to remember both players are on the Lakers due to they are not making a lot of money and they might not be here next year. So they are a cheap 1 year way to go to find a future player.

Naw...both are with us because they were both 2nd round picks, that's the biggest reason. DC would've been a 1st rounder easily if not for issues with his maturity in college. Dev was going to be a 2nd rounder no matter what, his lack of a jumper is what cost him. Both are good players though, I want both back next season.

Well let's hope that's what happens for these upcoming next weeks with Barnes out.

I like Ebanks more

Ebanks had 7 points in 6 minutes tonight and looked good.

Caracter had 6 points in 6 minutes tonight!

One is a SF and one is a PF.

We're keeping both. They're both young abd both look like they have upside, it's not an and/or situation.

Neither. They both suck.

Suck, huh? I'm interesting in hearing how you can draw that conclusion from 2 rookies in limited playing time-- in fact, given they're very limited playing time, I'd say they were both ahead of the curve at this point. It's far too early to judge either, what with Ebanks being only 21. I think Caracter is 23. They both look like NBA players to me.

Ebanks. Lakers need more insurance at SF.

They are the same story as Crittenton. People thought Crittenton was going to be good but it was obvious early on that he did not have the skills to stay in the NBA.

Ebanks and Caracter are the same story. They just aren't talented enough to stay in the NBA, let alone the Lakers. They are lacking in many areas and will be gone by next season.

I'll ask again, since you completely avoided my question. What are you specifically basing your opinion on in regards to their game? What does Crittenton have to do with Devin or Derrick? Both look like they easily have enough talent to play in the NBA. Caracter has a smooth offensive game and some good rebounding skills. Ebanks looks like he can do a lot of everything-- a good slasher, dunker, defender.
