Ebanks and McBob Starters For Lakers

I'm not sure if there is a thread about this already or not. Ebanks will start over Barnes and Metta while McRoberts will play the 4. Gasol will play center during Bynum's suspension.

Edit: This is a temporary lineup due to the suspension.

Lakers go 4-0. Ebanks gets buckets. McBob gets lobs...

What type of player is Ebanks? It could be a good move for Mike Brown, ughh Derek Fisher is still starting

Ebanks is a very smooth player and reminds me of Ariza. He even looks similar. He seems to have a nice jumpshot. I think he will turn out to be a pretty good player.

Interesting. At least Mike Brown is willing to tinker with the line up. If this was Phil I wouldn't be surprised to see Luke Walton starting and I'm dead serious. At least Ebanks and Mcroberts can bring some energy to the starting line up. But that means Troy Murphy is the back up center?

This is a temporary lineup btw. Sorry not to specify that in my OP. Editing.

I guess so. Thankfully Bynum had one of his games given back.

It's cool to see Brown have faith in Ebanks and give him a shot like this; seems like Phil was apprehensive about that sort of experiment. The kid will definitely benefit from getting tossed a bone like this every now and then.

I see the Ariza comparison for sure, although he seems a little more cocksure (dare I say reckless?) as a shooter, willing to take risks Ariza may not have been willing to.

If McRoberts is in your starting lineup, you have a problem

[AirTupac]

Ebanks will be Ariza 2.0

Great potential.

Yeah it's called Bynum is suspended......

Yeah I'm glad he gets a chance to show what he can do. MWP is definitely not starter material right now and Barnes isn't really much better imo.

McBobby has good energy
