Lakers Training Camp Day 1
We’ll be live-blogging the latest news, videos. articles on Lakers Training Camp (TC) particularly on Jeremy Lin. We will finally get some early answers or sneak peeks of it on some questions we have been asking for the whole summer since Lin was traded to Lakers 2 months ago. To Lin fans like us, we ask: What will be Lin’s role in LAL? How many minutes will he play? What will be the dynamics between Lin and his coaches and teammates especially among Scott, Kobe and Nash? etc. Feel free to add TC links/articles related in the comments. We (Brent and psalm234) will add main videos/news/articles to the blog post as they come.
Sept 30 (Day 1)
Brent: Today’s sessions was mostly closed to the medias, I expect some post-practice interviews will be available later, and I will include them later here. Lin seems very fit, summer workouts are paying off big time. Kobe singled out Ronnie Price as the best conditioned player today. Since this is the 1st day of the camp, it is all about coaching staff setting up the tone, especially to young players. I personally think Byron Scott did a very good job. He clearly has a good plan in his mind. Let’s see how this camp develop. (6:22:58 PM)

.@JLin7 on Day 1: “It was definitely a different experience. Defense, running, old school drills.” Exactly what Byron told them to expect.

- [LATimes] Lakers’ training camp roster by jersey numbers Nice short description of 19 players in roster. “No. 17 — Jeremy Lin — fully guaranteed — acquired from the Houston Rockets in trade, Lin could start at point guard, or back up Nash.”
- [BR] Grading each position Going Into LA Lakers Training Camp, 9/24/14 PG position grade: C. It’s a middle-to-low-of-the-road assessment that Nash/Lin/Clarkson can flourish but no guesses are made. After Training Camp, more reporters should be more informed about who excels in the TC to make up their mind.
