Roster:

I'm looking forward to seeing Ingram suit up.

This roster is decidedly becoming more international. Could be the result of Vlade Divac's work as head of the European/Asia scout team for the Lakers before Divac bolted for the GM position for the Queens.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

There's a few things I'd like to see, and I don't really care if they win or not. I'm interested to see if Nance Jr and Russell have improved and how well they work with Ingram.

Looks like a solid group. Glad to see that Russell and Nance Jr. are going to be playing. Didn't know that had picked up Jovanovic. I think he was foolish to leave USC a year early, but he does have some potential.

 

[Retroram52]

Tarik Black will not be there as he as signed the big boyz contract.

NBA Free Agency Rumors: Lakers re-sign Tarik Black to two-year deal

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Randle has been practising with the Summer League squad. Won't be playing but gotta love the enthusiasm

Here's some practice footage.

Check out these videos of the Lakers practicing for Las Vegas Summer League

Nice!

 

[lakersrule]

Lots of praise for Ingram coming from Luke and the players. I can't wait to see this kid play!

 

[Retroram52]

That makes two of us lakersrule. Apparently Luke had a great deal to do with the selection and our second round pick as well. Wouldn't be surprised if both earn starting spots with Luke's team!

Hey Trojan fans. What's your opinion on this Jovanovic guy? Looks like a fairly mobile 7-footer with a decent jumper.

I like him, but I think he should have stayed for his senior year. He's a Vucevic type. I don't know if he'll be as good as Vucevic, but I could see him being a serviceable big.

Here's the full video. Notice the same out of control randle.

 

[Retroram52]

A lot of new numbers and faces for the Summer league roster. Russell still isn't hitting good-look shots and he shot some way-off-the-mark shots including an air-ball. Another year of work I presume.

Yep, Randle looks out-of-control in this practice for sure.

Wouldn't think too much of it right now Retro. It's only the 2nd practise, for summer league no less, and half those guys won't even make the team in a few months time.

 

[Retroram52]

Granted Shaqdaddy. I was watching a summer league practice and outside of Russell and Randle, I was trying to identify other numbers by flipping back and forth from the roster you posted.

 

[lakersrule]

I wouldn't judge too much based on a few minutes of summer league practice video

 

[Retroram52]

Yea lakersrule, I was more concerned about identifying the numbers of the new players and watching Russell and Randle with a greater critical eye.

keep your eye on #14...

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, CL67. He has a sweet jumper and a very smooth three-shot. Looks to be consistent as well.
