EDGE Analysis

Bass shared the bench scoring lead with Mareese Speights in what was his best performance in four preseason contests. The dependable veteran got the exhibition slate started with a forgettable 1-for-7 night against the Warriors on Oct. 4, but has shot 63.2 percent (12-for-19) over the subsequent three games. Bass at times proved capable of offering solid production last season with the Lakers over 20.3 minutes per contest, but could see a drop in playing time due to Speights' presence, as well as the ability of DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin to shoulder a heavy workload.
