Things could be dramatically improved for Byron Scott. I’m actually looking forward to getting rid of winter.

Ultimately, Russell’s high draft pick made him the main attraction. It had initially been thought the organization was going to select Okafor after they landed the second overall pick along with the fact that Kentucky center Karl-Anthony Towns had also become a mere lock at the top pick in the draft with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Being the son of a ex- NBA player doesn’t hurt either. “I’m not really anxious about [expectations]”. “I would not expect Kobe to take me under his wing”.
“I think first and foremost, he’s on the previous year of a deal”. He’s not a stretch four.
If the newly acquired Los Angeles Laker Larry Nance Jr. just happens to get traded before the start of the 2015-2016 NBA season, no need to guess as to why. He provided a bruising presence in the paint, which elicited comparisons to Memphis’ Zach Randolph. Randle was the seventh selection overall in the 2014 Draft and expectations were high for him. Kevin Love is a free agent capable of shooting inside and outside of the three point arc and also grew up in California and attended UCLA. Have you seen some of this guy’s moves on the court? Whether that’s for one of his eye-popping assists that made him one of the most exciting college players last season, or if it’s to drain a bucket from deep. The son of the ex- slam dunk champion was drafted to the Los Angeles Lakers, but his celebration was overshadowed by an old tweet that threatened to come back to bite him in the ass.
Kupchak said he and team spokesman John Black addressed Nance Jr. about his tweet, which has since been deleted.
When Kobe Bryant sat with Jemele Hill at the BETX Genius Talks this past weekend, he was in safe environs, enjoying his career swan song swaddled by the adoration of fans and writers alike. The 19-year-old insisted that he was not one of the other: “I consider myself a basketball player”. He averaged 16.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game as a senior.
Nance is the son of ex- NBA player Larry Nance, a three-time All-Star and victor of the 1984 NBA Slam Dunk Contest.
“I said, ‘Dude, listen”. The 19-year-old kid, who is thrilled to play with the Lakers, took off his Ohio State jersey, his red shorts and his Buckeyes sweatshirt.

“He called me the enemy”, Larry Nance, Jr. said. “A lot of pride comes with that jersey, and I think I definitely can help them”.
