Congratulations to FabFourLakers for winning Post of the Week! He offers his analysis on the Small Forward position for your Los Angeles Lakers and makes his case for Vladimir Radmanovic gradually getting more minutes. Discuss his post here.

Can we get Radmanovic some more minutes? Yes i know he has an injured hand, but shooters play through that and his stroke is lookin very nice as of late….I mean you would think Walton and Radmanovic would split the minutes at the 3 spot for the lakers…but Walton is averaging about 32 mpg, and Radmanovic only 14 mpg….now i know Walton is shooting a great % from 3 pt land and from the field….but i dont expect him to keep that up all year…Walton doesnt play the greatest defense either…and in the long run, he is not gonna get the lakers over the hump…

Yes i know Walton has yrs of triangle experience under his belt now, and Radmanovic is in his first year of triangle offense, but he has shown that he can fit in this offense, and he is very active on D, and i think that VladRad’s tenacity on D doesnt show up in the box score…

Radmanovic is capable of putting up 20 on any given night….but hes just not gettin enough minutes…he had a great outing against the Clips, but why did Phil decide to put Walton in for majority of the game even tho he wasnt producing much offensively and hes almost a liability defensively?

I’d like to see Walton get maybe 24 mpg, and Radmanovic get at LEAST 20 mpg…Radmanovic needs the experience and he willl ultimately help this team…its time to start giving him more playing time and make teams pay for concentrating too much on Kobe and Odom…and give Kwame and Bynum somebody to pass out of the post to.
