If you have any questions about whether or not Andrew Bynum is healthy following last season’s knee surgery, the video at the end of this entry should help answer your questions. The Bynum video shows that he’s healthy and able to finish at the rim.
While his numbers aren’t quite at the level they were last year, they are still good. Compared to last season, his field goal percentage is down, his points per minute are down, his rebounds per minute are down. However, his assists, block shots and free throw numbers are all either similar are up. He’s also turning the ball over less.
The good news for Bynum is that his stats should only get better. He’s learning how to play next to Pau Gasol and he’s just now getting back to 100% healthy. He’s not going to be a 20-point, 12-rebound monster this season, but he definitely has that potential down the line. But as long as the Lakers keep winning, Bynum is going to continue to be put in a role that has him averaging around 14 points, ten boards and a couple of blocks. For fantasy basketball purposes, consider him a good center prospect with a possibility of becoming very good.
Here is the Andrew Bynum video in which he finishes an alley-oop pass against the Toronto Raptors that few NBA players could have finished:
