Five things to watch in Brandon Bass’ 2015-16 season

Below is the sixth in a series looking at five things surrounding each notable player on the Lakers’ roster for the 2014-15 season. This post focuses on Lakers forward Brandon Bass.

1. Will Bass become the Lakers’ starting power forward?
The Lakers might consider Julius Randle a key ingredient of their long-term future. But Lakers coach Byron Scott does not intend to hand him the keys to the Ferrari just yet. Scott has said that Bass and Randle for compete for minutes at the starting power forward spot. Though Scott hopes that Randle wins the competition, Scott’s preference stems from hoping Randle expedites his development than showing any favoritism.
