The South Bay Lakers will open the season tonight at 5:00 p.m. PT against the Oklahoma City Blue. With a roster loaded with talent, South Bay seems to have an exciting season ahead of them.

Wanna see Norvell and THT in action.
THT, never seen him play.
Norvell could be another 2 way keeper ala Caruso. Got a nice stroke, good size, still young, and had himself a nice preseason.
Let’s go South Bay! _________________ We pour this booze and we drink this booze because we think it's yummy. YUMMY! So over the tounge and down the throat to party in our tummys.
DOWN THE HOLA BITC*OLA!!!
Kostas looked great. Wish I could've seen more from Norvell. Dwight Howard showed up to the game, he's really showing some support for the broader Laker organization.
Trio Grabs Double-Doubles, But South Bay Falls In Season Opener
Quote:
The South Bay Lakers put up a good fight, but ultimately fell to the Oklahoma City Blue, 120-114, on Saturday night.
Gary Payton II delivered an all-around performance in his first game since returning to the Lakers (0-1), finishing with 22 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks.
Two-way player Luguentz Dort finished with a game-high 35 points to pace the Blue (1-0).
D. Cacok had a good game too. (14-pt-10-rb double-double); lots of energy and hustle. His rebounding has been very good. He's undersized and has to improve defensively but so far he has done well.
As a penetrator/shooter/shot-getter, Demetrius Jackson has the exact "skillset" this team needs.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
I'm not nearly bold enough to say he's the answer, he's probably not ready, but his "skillset" is what this team lacks. I'd love to see him (and Tucker) get a chance over Pope, Daniels, and/or Cook.
I think those would surprise a lot of people ... and the team doesn't have any other guys on the team who can do what they do, so they'd be filling a hole. How will wold they fill it? Who knows. But I wouldn't be surprised if they excelled, especially Jackson. _________________ A creative scorer, a wing defender, and a shooter.

Between the two, THT may eventually get a shot at some playing time this season. However I get what you are saying about Jackson's skillset though.
