The Lakers opened training camp in Hawaii on Tuesday. Most of the attention on the first day went to Kobe Bryant.
The Lakers star’s potential final season, and how he recovers from his shoulder surgery, is just one of three top story lines this training camp, says Lakers beat writer Mark Medina.
The other two things to watch out for, he adds, are the emergence of D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson and Julius Randle— “how long will it take for those young guys to develop?”— and how they will handle playoff expectations.
