Bass will compete with Julius Randle for the starting power forward job according to coach Byron Scott, Mark Medina of the LA Daily News reports. Bass signed with the Lakers this offseason after spending his previous four years in Boston. Scott often switched his starting five around during his first year as coach with the Lakers and that's certainly a possibility for the season ahead as both Bass and Randle could see time as a starter over the course of the season. While Randle has more potential, Bass is a reliable option who has only missed one regular season game in the past three years.
