By ESPN.com
Posted Feb. 7, 2015

The Good: Julius Randle. The 7th overall pick in last June's draft stole the show as the Lakers squeaked past the Nuggets tonight. Julius Randle scored a team and career high 28 points with 12 rebounds and 2 blocked shots in the Lakers 91-88 victory. Randle shot 10-of-16 from the floor and 8-of-12 from the charity stripe in 30 minutes of action for the Lakers.

The Bad: Kenneth Faried. Kenneth Faried was thoroughly outplayed by his rookie counterpart all night long. faried struggled shooting the ball has we went just 4-of-12 from the field for 12 points ans 12 rebounds in 34 minutes. Faried was a -13 fro the Nuggets has he let Randle have a career night against him.

X-Factor: Kobe Bryant. The Black Mamba took a beat seat and let the rookie carry the scoring load. Bryant finished with a nice all around game with 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assist in 36 minutes. Bryant had a off night shooting the rock going 8-of-21, but he did other things to help the Lakers get the win.

Rookie Watch: Gary Harris and Jordan Clarkson. Harris played 16 minutes off the bench for the Nuggets and finished with 8 points and 2 rebounds on 4-of-5 shooting in the loss. Clarkson played 27 minutes and finished with 3 points and 8 assist on 1-of-3 shooting.

Bogdanovic and Nets hang on to defeat the Lakers 104-101
By ESPN.com
Posted Feb. 20, 2015

The Good: Bojan Bogdanovic. The 6'8 rookie shooting guard out of Croatia led the way for the Nets has they held off the Los Angeles Lakers. Bogdanovic finished the evening with a team and game high 24 points to go along with 3 rebounds, 4 assist, and 2 steals. The rookie shot the ball well going 7-of-15 from the field while also going 3-of-8 from behind the arc and 7-of-8 from the free throw line in 32 minutes of action.

The Bad: Julius Randle. The 7th overall pick in lat June's draft had a rough night shooting the ball against the Nets. After going scoreless in the 1st half, Randle finished with 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots while only shooting 4-of-10 from the floor in 26 minutes. The former Kentucky Wildcat had troubles scoring over the taller Mason Plumlee.

X-Factor: Jarrett Jack. Jarrett Jack was a spark off the bench for the Nets has he dropped a game high 11 assist in the win. Although he had a subpar shooting night (3-of-10), Jack controlled the offense while Deron Williams was on the bench and even managed the game while Williams was in the lineup with him.

Rookie Watch: Jordan Clarkson. Clarkson only played 18 minutes but he did finish with 11 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assist on 5-of-6 shooting from the field. You have to wonder why Byron Scott decided to stick with Jeremy Lin instead of Clarkson who was playing really well.
