Its almost NBA time. Training camps open league wide on October 3rd.
No matter what past success a team has had each team will come to camp with questions that will need answering. In these "looking ahead" post I'll be listing some of the questions each team faces.
Let's start at the top with the reigning champion Los Angeles Lakers.
Going forward the Lakers have to wonder, how healthy they can keep starting C Andrew Bynum? Bynum has become a bit over-rated as an individual player by Laker fans. Still, as a piece of the puzzle Bynum is vital. Bynum brings a physical toughness that the team lacks without him.
Another question is, will Derek Fisher beat out Steve Blake for the starting PG spot? Fisher is a team leader and has come up big for the Lakers over the years. However, he is on his last legs and is not much better, if at all, than Steve Blake.
Just two things they will on the minds of the Lakers and their fans over the next few weeks and months.
Next up will be last season's runners-up, the Boston Celtics.
