Lakers With Too Many Points

Suddenly the Lakers’ guard problems have completely flipped. Last year the Lakes had practically no options when it came to playing a decent point guard, and now they have an actual competition for who will be the starter. The Lakers recently signed Derek Fisher, who Lakers fans should know full well can do a decent job. They also got a tall point in Javaris Crittenton in the draft. And now the Lakers have added Coby Karl, a 6-4 point guard who went undrafted. Coby, the some of famous coach George Karl, played for the Lakers in their summer camp and impressed general manager Mitch Kupchack enough to earn a short contract with the team. Karl is 24 years old and averaged over 14 points and 4 assists per game while playing at Boise State his senior year. He has been struggling in a battle with thyroid cancer, but apparently is not letting that slow him down now.

So who will you see when you get Los Angeles Lakers tickets to a game next season? Well, you might just see a bunch of different players in the one spot, because currently the Lakers have eight guards.  You can get those tickets at StubHub.com.
