Also I like how Sun Yue looked in the game against Team USA but he'll have to do a helluva job to beat out Jordan Farmar to get the back up role at point guard.

In your criticism of what I had to say about Karl, you say I didn't mention that he has a great shot. In fact, I twice mentioned how good his shooting is: Coby Karl: "Sweet shot as long as he isn't 35' from the basket." Also "Karl has the shooting ability to make a team in the NBA at present." He's not athletic. Maybe average at best. He finished 46th in his draft class at the Combine. His lane agility and 3/4 court sprint were poor for a Guard. So he can jump from a stand still. I'll give you that. That doesn't make him an athlete. BrinDFish Back: It could certainly be more biased.

The Sun will rise in the West. He will prove some doubters wrong pretty soon. He will make more impact than Yi(too much pressure after Yao)in the NBA. The guy can play but will need polishing for NBA's speed and style. This move will make the Laker #1 in China and Spain and Internationally. Buss(senior) is a smart man and so is Mitch.

Would you agree that are most pressing need is to get better on defense? Would you agree pretty much everyone on the roster now is a better defender than Karl? Hey, he's a good player but I personally would rather see his spot being filled by someone who plays a little bit better on the defensive end. Ok osmOnd, one game and against the Kings.

PJ put in Coby Karl for about 5 minutes and he turned things around for them.

I've seen him play summer league games and i've seen him in his few cameos during the season and he doesn't look like a player to me. Lets get some defensive minded players in here, we're good on offense, what good is a shooter who rides the pine. At NO time during last season were the team was struggling to score did Phil turn to Coby Karl but you can always use a defensive player something he certainly isn't.
