Why do people think andrew bynum is so good of a player

Question

i dont hate him, i just dont know whats so great

Answer 1

He seem like he can be injury-prone at times. Andrew Bynum is a great player considering the fact he is only 20 yrs old. He has a lot of time to develop himself into an All Star player. He is a double-double every night during the 2007-08 season so in the future you can only see those number increase.  

Answer 2

bynumb is good but he is overrated, the stats he put up before he went down were only for a month averaging stats like that for a whole season is a lot tougher,he will be a soild center thats about it.

Answer 3

like i always say andrew bynum = overrated

not that i hat him but hes not that good to begin with. All lakers fans say that if bynum was in the finals the lakers would have won but thats a buch of BS

Answer 4

i bet your just looking at his stats for the season but look at the stats he was puttin up before the injury when he was a starter in the game before the injury he put up 28 points and 17 rebounds

Answer 5

because he was looking like an all star before he got hurt and was one of the reasons why the lakers were so successful.  

Answer 6

A lot of it has to do with the Laker fans trying to rationalize running Shaq out of town.  If Bynum becomes halfway as good as Shaq in his prime (a big IF) the Kobewhores will be able to tell everyone "Shaq who?"  That's why those losers are making such a big deal about the guy.  

Bynum is a good player and he might even make the All-Star team sometime in his career, but there is a lot of bullcrap generated by the Kobewhores just to make Shaq's departure seem less of a setback (which has a lot to do with the fact that the Lakers haven't won the title since).

Answer 7

People think he's good because before he got injured he was averaging a double-double. Considering it's only his 3rd year in the league and he's highschool draftee, that's pretty good. To put it frankly, finding big men who can play, actually play their position and are willing to hustle is hard in the NBA. Andrew Bynum can be a very good player, but he's going to have to work double hard after surgery to get back.

Answer 8

Lakers fans are gonna love this question..

Bynum showed great potential before his injury and looked like he was gonna have a break out season.

Answer 9

Because he's the Lakers best excuse for why they lost the finals so his abilities get blow up to make it seem like they were missing a Shaq like guy who would've changed everything 4 them, but really he's just another odom  

Answer 10

Untill we saw HIM play again

Answer 11

Its not necessarily that Bynum is such a great player right now, its how much better he makes the Lakers and how much better he has the potential to be at only 21.  Having Bynum in the starting lineup not only gives us a second 7 footer, but puts Radmanovich on the bench where he belongs. Before the injury he was playing the best basketball of his short career and on the way to emerging as one of the best young players in the league. Kareem has been teaching him how to play the 5, and i cant think of anyone else Id rather have teaching him than the NBAs all time leading scorer. Bynum is gong to put LA over the top this year, and if he keeps progressing, we should see him in many all star games over his career. and im out

Answer 12

He might turn out to be a Jamaal Magloire.

Answer 13

Well, Bynum would be a true C,which Gasol did a really good job as. Bottom line is that you take Rad out of the starting position.
