Josh

McRoberts

This echoes a similar sentiment from Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski from months ago, when he identified both West and Carl Landry as potential fits for the Pacers. Josh McRoberts is an unrestricted free agent, and the Pacers likely aren’t sold on a full-time role for Tyler Hansbrough. West’s addition would give the team a serious force in the pick and roll game, and his addition would really benefit both Danny Granger and Darren Collison.

The Lakers are not holding a shootaround prior to Wednesday’s game and that’s likely because the team just played against the Nets on Tuesday. Bynum previously said that he would try to play, but owners will have to check back for another update to see whether or not Bynum will be in the starting lineup. Josh McRoberts would likely get another start if Bynum is unable to play.

Bynum is iffy for Wednesday, but surely you can find a better player on waivers than McBob.

“I feel good, but I don’t know. I’m going to try,” Bynum said. Owners will have to check back for an update following shootaround to see if the big man will be able to give it a go against the Clippers. If he’s unable to start, Josh McRoberts would likely slide into the starting lineup once again. McBob had four points and five rebounds in Tuesday’s win over the Nets.

Ebanks is worth deep league consideration and that’s about it. Sessions’ inclusion is the most interesting, as it indicates that his shoulder injury may be on the mend. He’ll be a decent fantasy start that carries a bunch of risk. Blake could log big minutes and put up low-end numbers, while Hill is the better of the two big man plays and deserves standard league consideration. McBob is a versatile producer when given the minutes, but he’ll be a flier play for deeper formats.

Hill returned from a sprained MCL, so we’re taking him off of the injury list. However, with Troy Murphy and Josh McRoberts both ahead of him in the rotation, Hill will have to wait for an opportunity to get onto the floor.

Well, duh. The Lakers have been looking for a third big off the bench all season, and neither Josh McRoberts or Troy Murphy have been able to deliver with any sort of cosnistency. “Jordan is going to play,” said Brown. Hill had 15 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks in 35 minutes and is a good bet to see 20-25 minutes moving forward.

The Lakers’ next game is on Tuesday, so we’re forced to consider Bynum very questionable for that game -- if he can’t suit up, Josh McRoberts and Troy Murphy will likely play heavy minutes alongside Pau Gasol. The timing of this injury could hardly be worse, but don’t do anything rash until we hear an update on Monday afternoon.

There wasn’t much, if anything to glean out of a game played at a YMCA pace, but the Lakers wanted to get Sessions onto the floor to build his confidence. It sounds like his shoulder injury may not have been as big of a deal as it seemed when his numbers dipped a bit last week, but we’re not expecting a huge rise or fall in his performance level during the playoffs. Steve Blake started and put up four points with six assists, Jordan Hill went for eight and eight with three steals and a block, Josh McRoberts had 16 points, nine boards, and four assists, and Ebanks scored 14 points with five rebounds and a block.

McBob, an Indy native, had some nice games last season and is sure to be a solid role player for someone this year. However, it doesn’t sound like he’ll be staying home in Indiana for long.
