Steve Blake started for resting Derek Fisher in Monday's exhibition loss, finishing with seven points on 2-of-6 shooting (including a three) with four rebounds and five assists in 24 minutes. It's a promising stat line after he spent a year disappearing in the box score, but it's the preseason and Monday's game had a playground tempo. Blake also tweaked his ankle in the first half but returned to finish the game. Blake and Fisher are locked into a timeshare and should not be drafted.

Steve Blake is working to improve his shooting motion this summer, specifically putting more arch on his shot. Blake shot a miserable 36.0% from the field this season, which isn't out of character given his career mark of 40.6%. He was encouraged by his pre-lockout meeting with new Lakers coach Mike Brown, who emphasized an up-tempo attack and wants to shift Blake to a more familiar role as a "traditional point guard."
