The Lakers welcomed three new members of the purple and gold on Wednesday morning: Brandon Bass, Roy Hibbert and Lou Williams. After their introductory press conference, General Manager Mitch Kupchak spoke with the media regarding the new acquisitions and the team as a whole.
Q: On how much the Lakers can rely on Hibbert’s defensive capabilities:
Kupchak: It’s a question for Byron (Scott), but it all can’t fall on (Hibbert’s) plate. If you’re on the perimeter, you just can’t let your guy get past you and say, “Oh, Roy’s back there.” It doesn’t work that way.
