Meeting your 2006 Lakers SPL team

“Who is that?”

“Where did he come from?”

“Is he going to stick around?”

Those are three of the most commonly asked questions that come up during Summer Pro League games. For some guys SPL is no big deal, something the team is forcing them to do. But for others, like Cedric Bozeman or Nick Horvath, this is their chance to make it in the league. For Andrew Bynum and the other young guys on the Lakers, this is a chance for them to show what they can do, and hopefully put enough confidence in the coaching staff to start considering them as a contributor next season. So while a handful of these players you may never see again, knowing more about them will make watching them more enjoyable. And for those who won’t be watching the Lakers SPL team this summer, enjoy a bit of background information on them, as well as what the Lakers hope to see from them this summer.
