A bright spot for the team was the play of rookie Andrew Bynum who logged a career high 18 minutes against the Bulls. Although he was a part of the fourth quarter collapse, he finally scored his first basket (four points total) and continued to block shots at an impressive clip.
In his 52 total minutes, he has eight blocks which is good for the most blocks per 48 minutes in the league (7.38). Bynum is also 14th in the league with 10.2 defensive rebounds per 48 minutes.
Clearly he's not ready for a major role as his offensive game is raw, but his potential is clear and he's already making an impact defensively.
Should the Lakers truly struggle this season, it'd be nice to see Bynum get an even larger role to further his development.
The schedule isn't easy for the rest of the month when the Lakers host the Seattle SuperSonics and New Jersey Nets before visiting the San Antonio Spurs.
Though the Lakers record is not nearly as impressive as the Clippers, they're only four games back with 72 games to go.
Based on the play through 10, it's hard to imagine the Lakers being able to play at the same level as the Clippers . . . odd as that is to say historically.
