It's Dwight.

Pau? I love the guy but that is crazy.

Love Nash but I don't think he is better than Pau today.

Re: So... who is the best player on the Lakers?

Kobe's the "leader" of this team, hence "best Kobe led team". As for best player? I don't know. I have Dwight 3rd and Kobe 5th, so by default Dwight, but we'll see how it plays out. I don't think that there will be a monumental difference between the two regardless. Kobe's the scorer/closer, and Dwight is the anchor/enforcer.

Re: So... who is the best player on the Lakers?

Kobe's better, in my opinion. Maybe that'll change this season. We'll find out.

Howard.

Kobe is still good but he isn't at the Howard level.

Re: So... who is the best player on the Lakers?

Dwight is better, but given Kobe and Nash, and the spotlight... Howard might be more than happy to step back into that third person role, and as such won't be nearly as effective.

Hmmm.... Considering only offense, what will the options be: 1 Kobe, 2 Pau, 3 DHo, 4 Nash?

Re: So... who is the best player on the Lakers?

What Howard should do is not worry about offense at all and defend/rebound at a historic level. He'll get his 18 regardless due to lobs and Steve being Steve, but he doesn't need to look for his offense out there.

Re: So... who is the best player on the Lakers?

offensive options willl likely end up being

Kobe
Howard
Pau (Pau is going to average 4-5 apg)

by shot attempt

but with Nash on board that's going to be meaningless within the flow of the offense - since the offense will actually flow - with Nash around everyone will be more efficient and everything will be easier (at least that's the blue print; we'll have to wait and see the real product on the floor)

and anyway Dwight is more than welcome to reassert his hold on the DPoY award and win the rebounding titles etc

Re: So... who is the best player on the Lakers?

I voted Dwight, but I think it will be an interesting season for Kobe. Kobe had many obstacles last year: new coach, new offense, marital problems, poor team synergy. These problems likely affected Kobe's efficiency, but to what extent I cannot say.

Will 2012-2013 Kobe be better than 2011-2012 Kobe? More of the same? Or worse?

Except that LeBron is significantly better than Howard and Kobe is better than Wade. It's a lot closer than it is with those two.

I expect that Dwight will be our best player, I'll be massively disappointed if he's not. But the difference between the 3rd and 5th best player in the world is not a large enough margin to hand a baton without watching a single game.
