Zach Randolph

Walsh has this team looking like a mirror image of the last year’s team. Harrington is Zach Randolph with more range and a willingness to play defense. Hughes is Crawford, with less explosiveness, but a better ability to show on D. But, he’s only better by a few buckets and heart. Hughes will guard Kobe, but Crawford won’t even look at him on defense. Kobe will torch both, but it’s the mindset of Hughes that makes him a bit better.

For quite some time, our problem has not been lack of talent, but lack of a cohesive unit with good leadership. We finally have a group of guys working together with great chemistry under the leadership of team captain, Jamal Crawford. Jamal was coming off his best season yet, and began the 2008-2009 season with very similar numbers - 19.6ppg and 4.4 apg.
