Yes, he will almost certainly make the 14-15 man roster, if not often the
active 12 (barring injury). Maybe he can contribute a little by late this
or more likely next season.

It will take him a couple of years to make an impact.

He is a decent shooter, but more of a drive and slash kinda player.
Nice dunker.

Don't know how he'll shoot with us but he appears to have some nice handles
for a big guy. Looks like he has the makings of real playmaker once he
learns the Tri. He also had a nice block, at least I think that was him.

He is going to be an intriguing addition.

he will be in the d-league unless he beats out the other rookie for
the fifth guard. I am still hopefull that the lakers get rid of walton
and vladrod neither of them can play defense.

Since it is doubtful that all or maybe any of Yue's contract is guaranteed,
that he will have to earn a roster spot pretty much goes without saying. But
it does seem obvious that Yue is the Lakers' priority rather than Crawford
who, it appears, they haven't even tried to sign yet. I think Sun will be
given every opportunity to be an impact player in the upcoming season.

Unless he turns out be something really special (or Yue turns out to be a
1st season bust), I think its more likely Joe Crawford will end up in the
d-league, at least early on.

I would agree, he has some developing to do just as a player even before
you consider the adjustment to the NBA game that even superstars like Scola
have to go through.

You can't "get rid of" them, they still have years on their contracts. To
move them you would have to take on something just as bad if not worse,
since at least those two have some role player value.

I'll bet it is or he wouldn't have signed instead of taking guaranteed
money elsewhere. That said, nothing says he has to be on the 12 man.
