NON Laker fans - bynum a blackhole?

[milkshakeballa]

I wouldn't go that far..he could be an all star one day, but franchise player? Michael Jordan was a franchise player..Kobe is a franchise player..Tim Duncan is a franchise player...I don't see Bynum reaching that level. He has a lot of raw talent, but his head's just not into it enough to reach that elite level..and that's ok...he'll still be a good player for you guys.

Woah! You just named 3 of the top 7 or 8 players to ever play....of course I will agree with you in that sense. Dwight Howard is a franchise player...Chris Paul...DWill...Bosh...Possibly Jefferson...

I think he can get to that level where you can build a team around him.

Do you agree that everytime he was passed the ball....he put up a shot?

He made almost half his shots and missed 3 easy ones. I have no problem with those kind of shots.

How could you seriously call Bynum a black hole when Fisher is pulling up in transition and launching 20 foot contested jump shots?

I didn't ask for his fukin shooting percentage. He almost shot 50% and missed some he should have made. I UNDERSTAND THAT. He didn't even play that poorly yesterday. He was active.

My fukin question to you:

EVERYTIME DREW GOT THE BALL IN THE POST....WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?

How does that make him a black hole? Exactly, it doesn't.

MilkShake.....I think there's being a blackhole.....and being a young big man on a team full of perimeter players who were chucking way too much last night without working the ball inside. When you're a 21 year old trying to rebuild your confidence and grow as a post player.....you're gonna think twice about passing it back out just so the guy you pass it to can throw up a brick that had a low percentage chance at going in.

But even last night, he wasn't ball hogging very much, if at all. He wasn't being double teamed in the post, it was just him vs. Dampier, and it was obvious last night that that matchup was their biggest advantage. If Kobe is having a bad night and Gasol is injured, Bynum should become more of a scorer and look to create for himself more than usual. Other than Shannon Brown (I don't count Powell since his shots came in garbage time), no one on LA shot better than Bynum last night. If anything he didn't shoot enough.

Bynum is the only player on the Lakers who I'm really a fan of (maybe Shannon Brown too, but Bynum's playboy mansion incident made him my hero), and his offense wasn't the problem for LA last night. If he's gonna take the next step as a complete player, his active feet, communication and consistent intensity on defense need to get better so Phil will feel comfortable giving him crunch time minutes, and last night was evidence of that. Granted he's no Al Jefferson or Amare Stoudemire, his D needs improvement.
