its a bit like that huh....i said as much in the gameday thread, his game and situation (late draft pick) makes me think of Gil Arenas and Michael Redd

I'm not saying it's not possible for Gl0ck to become a very good player, but I feel like his situation is more like Boobie Gibson (I think some people mentioned this in the Gameday thread). He's a second round pick whose skill-set is already suited for the NBA perfectly. He's just a flat-out scorer/shooter and because of that, he's been able to make an immediate impact. I don't expect him to improve much more (just because I think that would be setting our expectations too high since after all, he is a second rounder whose only played like 10 games), but at the same time I don't expect him to regress. I think he can be a career 7-10 ppg off the bench.

Shannon was hot when he was looking good. Goudelock looks cool as a cucumber. What he's doing right now is what he did for 4 years in college. You can see that "been there done that" look on his face when he's out there.

On top of that, Goudelock has multiple ways of scoring. He can shoot the 3. He can drive for a layup, and if the defense comes over on the drive, he can go to his mid-range floater. Shannon didn't have these kinds of moves. And even if he did, he never used them on a consistent basis like Goudelock did in college for 4 years.

As @0goudelock suggested, putting him/Kapono/Murphy around Bynum w/2nd unit really works from 3-point aspect...

If teams double Bynum, that's 3 good 3-point shooters spreading the floor. Reminds a bit of Orlando around Howard.

I like this idea of the 2nd Unit ^^^

Bynum
Murphy (if we need rebounding or more athletic defender McRambis can switch and play PF)
Barnes
Kapono
Glock

Nba.com: With Steve Blake sidelined by a rib injury, the Lakers have turned to their second-round pick out of the College of Charleston. And the rookie has responded in a big way. In his last four games, Goudelock has averaged 11.5 points on 50 percent shooting (17-for-34 FGs, 8-for-14 on 3s) and has been a real bright spot for the Lakers bench in their recent struggles. The Lakers are reportedly looking for backcourt help (Gilbert Arenas, Mo Williams and Morris Peterson have all been mentioned), but the rookie guard has been aggressive and looks to be a potentially nice pick out of the second round. If he continues to see the backup minutes and hit shots like Video this one (nice tear drop against Clippers), he could stick around The Ladder.
