    Default No-name players on your favorite team who you think will make a big jump.

    I'll start with Tarik Black of my Lakers. It was almost criminal how B. Scott purposely didn't play this guy last year. In a perfect world, he would be 6'11" instead of 6'9" but he is very athletic, long (7'3" wingspan), can move his feet and plays with high energy. He provides some rim protection, very good rebounder, can finish alley opps, get put backs, defend in space in P&R switches and run the floor. He's just a very active guy.

    I expect him to be the first big off the bench before the season is done. I think he's good enough to be the first big off the bench for a championship team.

    b.scott fcked with all the youngsters heads this past season, often pulling them off the court for reasons he never explained to them. so i expect all of them to look much more comfortable on the court, resulting in a much improved play

    but yeah i agree with you on black. the guy is a great energy big to have off the bench, with surprisingly good athleticism. and if the lakers keep kelly, i expect him to have a much better season than last (yeah that doesnt seem too hard) under lukes system.

    Lol we really don't have many guys like this. Sean Kilpatrick is the closest thing we got right now IMO to a no-namer with upside. Maybe McCullough.

    Dude, Kelly freaken sucks man. Couldn't believe he was getting playing time over Black. Scott probably didn't like Black for some reason. It was truly criminal how this guy was rotting on the bench. Luckily, with Luke as HC, he'll finally get a chance to show his thing.

    Now that we have a competent coach, these guys probably never see the floor this year. And thank God.

    Also like Larry Nance Jrs potential. 6'9" in shoes, long (7'1.5" wing span), solid standing reach (9'0"), very athletic, high energy guy, solid BB IQ and can guard people in space. Won multiple DPOY in college in his conference. He's the type of guy Luke absolutely loves. Long, athletic players who can play multiple positions and defend.

    I'm not expecting him to be a star but every team needs one or two high energy guys who does the little things. I think Black and Lance can be those two for the Lakers.
