Lakers' Yi Jianlian: Solid effort off bench Tuesday

Jianlian tallied four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 13 minutes in Tuesday's 109-106 preseason loss to the Blazers.

Analysis:

Jianlian saw another small bump in playing time Tuesday and turned a solid effort relative to his slight time on the court. The seven-footer has been serviceable to date in the exhibition slate and looks to have a lock on a roster spot, despite his contract not being fully guaranteed. He'll likely see time at both frontcourt spots off the bench, though he probably won't receive enough minutes to make an impact in most fantasy formats.
