A few that I haven't seen mentioned:

McCants
Orien Greene
Gomes

Full disclosure: I'm a Celtics fan.

I'm hearing a lot of very good stuff about Gomes and Greene. Specifically, that Gomes could be starting for us at some point this year.

As for Greene, he's been very good this preseason, and the point guard job is certainly up for grabs. I expect they'll ship Banks once he gets healthy (they've been trying to move him for a while and with the Dickau signing and Greene's performance in the preseason, he's now even more likely to go).

He's probably already been snatched up, but Sarunas Jasikevicius is a guy to get. He can dish as well as Tinsley but can shoot it a lot better. Espcially given Tinsley's injury history, it'll be sooner, rather than later, that he takes over at the helm.

I would have said Travis Outlaw until Nate's mysterious starting rotation came to light. Someday maybe this organization will wake up to the fact that Randolph and Miles are both total pieces of [censored].

We want a "youth movement" but we sit two of our best young players on the bench, Outlaw and Webster. This team isn't even going to win 20 games so WHO [censored] CARES??!! Play the young guys.

God, I [censored] hate this franchise...and the fans are just as clueless.

Not up and coming but a guy a lot of people have forgotten about because of an injured season. Devean George is very good and I imagine will get a lot of PT on the Lakers this year.

He had a good preseason.
