As a forward he will be probably matched up against the inside forward on teams because he doesn't do as well guarding on the perimeter. Eventually, I think the Lakers hope he works in as a help defender, rather than a big 1-on-1 person (which I suspect he will never be very good at). The Lakers will need a good guard on the perimeter (Kobe) and a center to backstop everything else (Andrew). With Lamar and Gasol being primarily help defenders, I suspect things will work out ok.
