Avery Bradley is getting a lot of praise from everyone.
Really hope he can push Rondo to the bench.
Also hoping that Caruso gets a fair shot at major minutes.
Danny Green plays only 27-28mpg - so there are plenty of minutes at 1 and 2 for Caruso.

The size and speed Lakers have in the front court just looked ridiculous against warriors...and that's with Kuz out.
Lakers ability to stay big when everyone goes small will be a huge factor in how far this team can go. It is a considerable advantage if they can exploit it.
And, AD is gonna have a monstrous year next to Lebron. Lebron will have a huge year next to AD. Only one game but there was no doubt in my mind that they won't fit together. They've very complimentary skills and both will benefit a lot while playing together.
...and I'll be very happy with Vogel if he can take Rondo out of the lineup at some point during the first couple weeks of the season. He's atrocious. Bradley should start with Caruso playing most of the backup minutes.

We got some height on this team. Offensive rebounding and put back should increase.

Gotta play a few minutes to build team chemistry. But yea - they got 3 more preseason games - anf Lebron shouldn't play in any or just play like 10 minutes in one game with the starters.

Kuz cleared for non-contact...that's a good sign
I fully expect him to be back by Nov. 1st at the latest, if not earlier. Shouldn't be more than 2 weeks out from here if there are no set-backs.

Frank Vogel will start Bradley, Green, LeBron, AD and McGee, the same group that started the preseason opener at GSW. He thinks they have a chance to be "elite defensively" with that unit, and it allows him to stagger LeBron and Rondo as the playmakers for respective units.

Vogel also said he plans to extend the minutes for LeBron and AD tonight to over 30, for the first time this preseason, looking to get closer to a regular season rotation w/the opener coming in 6 days.
