**the official la lakers thread**

[joseph5620]

Saw the scrimmage Lakers Nation posted. Nance is athletic as ****. JC looks really good and his jumpshot has more fluid than last year. Randle is looking like a beast. He got slimmer but still strong. I'm assuming he's not a 100% since they don't want him playing on back to back games. Upshaw is really out of shape. He needs to get his ass in shape so we can see his full potential. Russel looked a little lost out there. Maybe he is still finding his way into the offense. I hope they run him off screens during the games so we can see his shooting anility. I can't wait until 5:30pm.

Yes. I'm really curious about how he's going to do based on is college stats.

can't really blame upshaw for being out of shape.

he got dismissed from college after 19 games.

he's not fat. just not in game shape.

gotta sign him. can't teach 7 ft 265 lbs.

Staying in shape when not in action is a sign of maturity and professionalism. Him not being in shape is already a strike no matter how much he says he's matured. Dude is so talented, beter make the most of it, stay away from the dispensaries big homie.....

we gotta sign him, pre.

he's like a 1st round pick. plus he's legit 7 ft.

give him 3 years/900 k a year. just lock him up.

even if he's on our summer league/D league, other nba teams can offer him a contract.

that's the other thing that worried me...Mitch was pretty non committal in talkin about signing him...kept stating that Upshaw is an unrestricted FA and that the D-league might be what's ahead of him

i want this kid signed before someone else does...he could be our Whiteside
