Bynum a No-Show in 4th Summer League game?

 Now with the Lakers having had success in players like Jordan Farmar,JR Pinnock, and some of Andrew Bynum so far in this summer league play. Now when I say some of Bynum I mean it. In the Lakers 4th summer league game Bynum missed 6 of 7 shots, had 2 shots blocked by 6' 9" forward from Texas (Brian Boddicker), He only scored 2 points in 33 minutes! Thats not it all! He fumbled many passes and did not even look intrested in the game. If Bynum continues to play like this he will be no where near the Lakers hopes of a new All-Star Center. The Lakers have never won a championship without a premier Center. Is Kwame that man? Not Bynum? All this makes me wonder if the Lakers knew what they were doing on draft Night 2005. In Bynum third summer league game he put up a good performance in a win over Dallas. JR Pinnock performed very well in that Dallas game almost making the rim and basket collaspe after a powerful dunk. Sure we've seen Shaq bring in down but Shaq is 7' 300+ pounds. JR Pinnock is 6' 5" just over 200 pounds. Next dunk champion? Marcus Douthit and Jordan Farmar sat out againist Memphis due to injuries. Now to give you an Update on the Lakers aquisitions. Shammond Williams returned from overseas after 6 NBA seasons with 6 different teams. He than went over seas and played in Russia before joining FC Barcelona where he lead his team to the Euroleague final four. After two seasons overseas he has decided to come back to the NBA for the bi-annual exception of 1.75 million.(Keep in mind that he is Kevin Garnetts first cousin) The other Laker adition is Vladimir Radmonivic who signed a 5 year 30.1 million dollar deal. Radmonivic who was traded from Seattle to the Clippers mid season averaged 10.1 point and about 7 boards of the bench.
How do you feel about Bynum's play last game?
Is he just going threw a stage? You tell me.

Alright here's the thing with Bynum to me. The guy has potiential, Talent and a hard work ethic. But the thing he must work on and the reason I'm throwing him under the buss is because he's a project. Any how back to what I was saying He needs to work on his explosion and develope a Killer extinct that makes a statment if you gona guard me I'm dominate you the whole game like Shaq use to be, or Amarie, and soon to be Dwight Howard. The guy needs to continue to work on his dominating lift weights add about 10 more pounds but at the same time be active crashing the boards boxing out anticpating block shots and throwing it down people throat with force. Like the time he went up against shaq not to many guys in the league have the balls to answer back at the big man after he just dunked on you and embarresed you an not to mention he was 18, so buy that said if he plays with that confidence and be more active he can dominate an be a force to be recken with hopefuly Kobe an Kareem brings that to his attention

yes, the last game bynum came to play! lol...now let me tell you all something, bynum demanded a double team, he was toooo much last night. i was there with my peeps, and the task of guarding bynum was a task for john-ramos a third year man, listed as 7'3 287. we bynum made him look more like 6'3 87 lbs. they had no answer for him! it got to the point that they began double teaming him off the ball! bynum showed great foot work, and i began to make comparisons of him and The Captain. we caught up to ramos after the game and he had nothing to say to the fans. he got straight on the bus...lol....as expected. yeah, fans, this kids going to be good. as far as rebounding, if he could get the ball, he would get it with authority. not much of a shot blocking presense, but hey, his offense made up for it, big time. i think he ended the game with 19. theres this one summer pro league cheerleader there, light skinned, light eyes....man!! she hot, my god!! i think her name is terrika (looked on the website, http://summerproleague.com/SPL_final_girls/Terrickafinal.jpg). she looks good. i'm sure those that have been to the any of the summer league games know exactly who i am talking about.....well, i'm in this thing called a "relationship" and it hindered me from getting any pictures for you all (yes, for you all of course, not me....my girl didnt buy it though...) sorry... anyhow, they have this one quick point guard off the bench that backs up farmar. very quick hands as well, defense minded and loves to get the team involved, got four steals last night. well actually 3, but the dumb ref said that fourth he fouled the man. j.r. pinnock had another great all around game. excellent followup up to his rim rattling dunk the game before, was a hammerous throw down in traffic, with relative ease for him. the comparisons to byron scott are true with his dunks as well as his scoring. caught up with him after the game and (from behind the yellow tape...lol....) commented on his number: "hey pinnock, #25, huh, right ne
