Rush will have to
1. Learn the triangle -- veteran players with all of their experience all have difficulties with this offense, a rookie with three years of college experience will encounter the same difficulties
2. Defense -- any player playing for Phil Jackson must play outstanding defense, defending guards in the NBA is one of the tougher assignments.
3. Discipline -- this offense is not a run and gun, up and down college game. Discipline at both ends of the floor must be learned on the job
I am extremely happy that we have a draft pick with the outstanding skills and potential that Rush has, he will develop into an outstanding player for the Lakers but if you are expecting him to start and be effective immediately, I think that would be asking a great deal from a player with only three years college experience.
Rush will be a force in due time.
