1. Why did former Lakers Turiaf and George get zero playing time?
2. Did Sasha really resurrect his shooting, or were those easy shots?
3. Did any of last years team play like they should be cut? I can imagine that Morrison is still on the mend, but what about Powell? My conclusion at the end of last season was that Powell had "replace me" written all over him.
4. Did any of the newbies look like they could challenge for a spot? Did any of the newbies get anything other than garbage time?

Thanks in advance

1. Why did former Lakers Turiaf and George get zero playing time?

Ronny was resting, not sure about Dev.

2. Did Sasha really resurrect his shooting, or were those easy shots?

Can't say yet and no.

3. Did any of last years team play like they should be cut? I can imagine that Morrison is still on the mend, but what about Powell? My conclusion at the end of last season was that Powell had "replace me" written all over him.

Josh wasn't impressive at all, and I didn't even know Adam played 8 min. He took one shot and did NOTING else.

4. Did any of the newbies look like they could challenge for a spot? Did any of the newbies get anything other than garbage time?

Can't say yet. They didn't do great imo...

He looks physically good. But, he needs to put some of his energy towards rebounding & defense or else he'll never reach his potential... Which is limitless.

I think Bynum looked great overall on offense, but slightly sluggish/apprehensive on defense. We saw the highlight reel alley oop dunk but no swats and few alters, hopefully he'll improve in those areas as the preseason continues.
