| He was doubled a lot in the first quarter. Both the guys covering him had a lot of fouls as well. The thing I liked was that he was banging around the rim. Laker fans will like him. It looked like he was going hard after every rebound and had a couple of fouls that could have gone either way. |

Thanks!!
Everyone had a terrible shooting percentage today but Caracter (over 50% with 10 rebounds)! |

Caracter is for real.
Ebanks had an off night and got rejected 5 times. Caracter needs to work on foul issues. Seems to be the only bright spots of the game... |

Wow Ebanks epic fail.
But another double-double for Caracter. He should work at In-N-Out. |

Ebanks has problem with his left side. He got blocked twice going to the basket. I think it got into his mind. The third time he went for a lay up. He just toss up erratically.
Ebanks is not a quick slasher/finisher. I think he was great the first two games because the defense was more relaxed. He had a lot of opening looks. Once the defense doesn't let him have easy shots, he started to have problems.
Better to show his weaknesses now instead of later.
Character is legit. His footworks and pumpfakes are money. |

| The spacing was horrible in this game. None of our guards could pass or make a shot. Just a very ugly game. I'm excited to see how Caracter matches up with Cousin and Whiteside considering how Caracter |

I was wondering if anybody else was thinking the same thing! That guy was pissing me off, ended up watching the game on mute.
So the first summer league game I watched was a little unimpressive.
Ebanks didnt do much, I did like how he moved without the ball and he got his hands in passing lanes a couple of times. Caracter had good hands, good effort. I'm not going to say anything further, it is summer league and only game 3. I did like Strawberry though, I think he had good awarness. |

D. Caracter = POOR MAN'S David West.
Remember.. D. West only avg 3pts and 6pts a game his 2 two seasons. Not till his 3rd season he played 35+ minutes and avg 17 points a game. Well having CP3 as a teammate helped too. Hopefully 3-4 years from now Caracter can do the same. The skillset and body is there. Probably won't avg as much as D.West since LO, BYNUM, PAU are playing majority of the minutes. |

I was hearing that, but from what I saw today, he accepted passes well and took them into the post, Kwame couldn't even do that! |
