This should be a barnburner/humdinger of a thread.

End of the bench player. He might get in 45-50 games for 6-8mpg.

"Huertas has played six seasons in the Spanish ACB forBarcelona, where he’s led Barca to three consecutive Euroleague Final Four appearances. He averaged 7.4 points and nearly five assists for Barcelona this season. Huertas is a career 87 percent free-throw shooter."

Shows the Lakers are keeping up with the times and going small ball.

It sounds like he's a good player, but are the Lakers in the need of more forwards?

FC doesn't stand for Forward/Center, TLF.

I said that wrong, He's a guard from what I have seen and my question meant to say that it seems like to me that we are in greater need of another forward or two - Not another guard, but this guy seems pretty good. If he works out it would take the pressure off everyone to force Russell to start and let him learn the game at a natural pace.
