by Craig Kwasniewski Instead of a typical 316 report on the Lakers 100-86 win over Portland I'd like to break down the first real match-up (Oden injured his knee and barely played back on opening night) between Greg Oden and Andrew Bynum. In all reality we are at least 2 years before both players are relevant focal points so I'm really focusing on the little things like footwork and post...

Let's skip those players who have missed significant time due to injury, like Josh Smith, Deron Williams (PG, UTA) and Carlos Boozer (PF/C, UTA). The player I believe will turn it around in a huge way in 2009 is Andrew Bynum. Despite having Kobe Bryant (SG, LAL) and Pau Gasol (PF/C, LAL) as teammates, Bynum is actually getting more shot attempts this season than he did last season....
