Andrew Goudelock Waived: no longer a Laker (pg 23)

Goudelock seems pretty down to earth, humble, smart...good combination of traits

Im glad in that interview he understands his role on the team and knows exactly what is expected of him. Im glad we got a rookie, who is a better shooter and maybe defender, who understands how to play a role on the team, compared to a veteran who thinks he is Kobe 2.0 and can do whatever he wants without playing no defense in Shannon Brown.

True, but to be 100% fair to Shannon, the team and the coaching staff LET him think like that. If the team had put their foot down and made him stop acting that way, he would have stopped. Unfortunately the team thought he was better than he was and gave him far too much authority.

He won't be able to handle the defensive pressure. He should just spot up shoot and stop trying to be a creator off the dribble.

He went a little Shannon Brown out there tonight, but he'll be ok.

Despite him not playing that well today, I would still have him on the court rather than Fisher. Today Fisher was seriously making rookie mistakes. He got his shot blocked, turnovers, dumb fouls, and a bunch of other mistakes. We need Steve Blake on the court a lot more than Fisher.

kid hit 2 big late game free throws last night.

Have we really given a nickname to a player with 30 minutes in 9 games?......

And speaking about Kobe 2.0, one of Goudelock's closest friends is MarShon Brooks. I think they use to compete against each other in highschool.

Meh. I'd rather see Morris get some time.

I like the versatility he provides. He's not as much of an offensive threat as Kapono has been, but he's got more energy and athleticism. When we face teams that are a bit smaller, it's nice to have him there. He's also a definite threat from deep.

Gl0ck needs more time so he's more comfortable on the court. He looks awkward and a bit out of it at present, but he does have the shooter's touch; in the long run, I like his chances of being a consistent contributor...even if not this season.

I don't think he's really ready to contribute at this point.

^^ I'd take Kapono over him right now. Glock looks like he's fading.

hopefully this doesnt jinx him like the start darius morris thread did

Alright, I'll admit I was higher on Morris, and I still see potential in him, but Goudelock looked solid tonight. Ya, it's just one game, but back when he was playing before he looked decent too. He looks more comfortable out there than Morris, he's a better scorer, he can get into the lane, and though he's not a true PG, Morris wasn't bringing any real PG skills anyway. Again, one game, but I'm not so sure Goudelock shouldn't be getting Morris' backup PG minutes for a few games, see how it goes, he can't be worse than Morris and at least he can score.

Glock for the 3 pt contest.

He played well tonight....and better than Morris has ever played. Goudelock deserves more minutes.

very good game...after mwp he was my hero of the game...

G-force induced Loss Of Consciousness...G-LOC baby.

Goudelock was Glock'd and loaded tonight. Good to see a great game from the youngster.

Needs to build off this game for the rest of the season. His offense is there, just needs to work on the defense.
