Lakers Vs. Kings, Preseason Game 1: What to Watch fIor, and Get Excited About

It's been a while in coming, but the new-look Lakers are going to play a game on Monday. Preseason Game 1, up in Sacramento. 

JJ Redick hasn't made it totally clear who is going to play in each game, or who has been held out of practices at different times, and all of that good stuff. So we'll need to see what the lineup looks like once that's announced. And who knows what the lineups will look like throughout the five preseason games. A dress rehearsal or two, likely. But beyond that, people want to know what the product is going to look like. What will the defense anchored by Walker Kessler look like? How much switching will we see? Will the team be a big ball pressure group? Try to interrupt the passing lanes? 

And what about the other end? Any clues about what JJ Redick is planning in Year 1 post-LeBron? How will the new guys be used? In what combination? Which guys will force Redick's hand for more PT? Which guys will give some away? 

Not all of that will be resolved on Monday night, but we'll start to see some clues.
