Possible starting lineup for the Lakers?

Question

Scenario 1:

PG Fisher

SG Odom

SF Bryant

PF Gasol

C Bynum

Scenario 2

PG Fisher

SG Bryant

SF Odom

PF Gasol

C Bynum

Which one is better defensively/offensively? any suggestions?

Answer 1

PG: Jordan Farmar

SG: Kobe Bryant

SF: Lamar Odom

PF: Pau Gasol

C: Andrew Bynum

I say it's time to start Jordan Farmar at the point to take his game to the next level, speed up the tempo of the game, and Derek Fisher provides veteran leadership for the bench.

With Odom at SF, the lakers have the tallest front court and provides huge mismatches for the other teams.

Answer 2

2 !

# 1 would be stupid

Answer 3

The FO is actually considering scenario 1. Odom has the ball handling, passing skills and abillity to actually be a one. There would be mismathces galore. However, I would stick with #2 on opening night to see how they match up with Portland's frontcourt.

Answer 4

Actually what they're thinking of is using #1 for offense, and #2 for defense. Just cause you play a guard on offense doesn't mean you HAVE to guard the guard. you can switch easily. also for every team it could change, but having them switch could be an excellent idea. This is one of those ideas that if it works, could be AMAZING, but if it doesn't won't hurt them because they could always just go back to what they did last year, but just adding Bynum to the mix.  

Answer 5

1 is bad. you don't want odom trying to guard 2 guards.

2 is probably what it'll be opening night. barring injuries.

Answer 6

scenario 2 because lets say they were facing the celtics and paul pierce is always sg go with kobe because he is as tall as pierce and use odom to guard k.g
