they to me are still a really weak/streaky outside shooting team.
like you said they need someone who can create his own shot especially if kobe is stalling for rest or sitting out, someone needs to be able to provide drives to the hoop and that can be efficient to dish.
glouck if after a year of being with the lakers can give him some confidence, im looking for him in fantasy next year for 3pt. he has a chance now w limited guards to prove he can get more mins.
