After spending the first year of his professional career with the Los Angeles Lakers, Andrew Goudelock came up just short of making the team this season. However, during his year-plus with the team he had the chance to learn from two future Hall of Famers in Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash, from whom he soaked up as much information as he could.

“I learned so much,” Goudelock said to HOOPSWORLD. “Even this year before getting cut I learned a lot. I don’t think there’s one thing I can pinpoint on. I know the mental aspect of the game all together is the most difficult part of playing basketball. If I can just keep working on my game the on-court stuff will come with hard work and dedication. If you don’t have your focus right, though, everything can go out the window.”
