Recommended Posts

PG Starter Ratings: A All Star B Potential All Star C Good Starter D Has Potential or Should be role player F Up Grade Needed

 

Bench Ratings: A Could be starter B 6th man material C Good role player D Prospect/or weak role player F Mob up Duty

 

 

PG Derrick Fisher: Is definitely losing a step and is a liability of Defense (C-)

 

SG Kobe Bryant: Best player in the game the pass 5 years (A+)

 

SF Ron Artest: Used to be a defensive ace and offensive weapon needs to find his inner fighter and stop

worrying about world peace©

 

PF Pau Gasol: Top flight of PF in the league will bounce back after weak off season.(A)

 

C Andrew Bynum: Has all the potential in the world, but must get more consistent. (B-)

 

BENCH

F Lamar Odom:6th man of the year canidate (A-)

PG Steve Blake: Solid player didn't fit The Zen Masters Triangle Offense. ©

SF Matt Barnes: Good defensive player and gets points for hustling had an off year last season. ©

G Andrew Goudelock: Rookie has potential to give offensive spark off the bench. (C-)

PG Darius Morris: 6"5 PG with good D, but no J. (D)

F Ater Majok: Project Forward with potential. (D-)

F Luke Walton: Most over rated bench player ever (D)

PF Derrick Caracter: Potential to be a solid player one day (F)

PF Devin Ebanks: (F)

 

Bottom Line:

Lots of trade speculation involving Lamar Odom, Ron Artest, Andrew Bynum, and Pau Gasol, but no move have been made prior to the lockout. The Lakers have their core returning intact next season with the exception of Shannon Brown who will test the FA market. The Lakers had a decent draft, picking 6”3 Combo Guard, Andrew Goudelock, who is a score first, Guard that the Lakers hope can develop into a scoring alterative off the bench. They also added Darius Morris a big 6”5 defensive minded pass happy PG and Forward Ater Majok who will try to find a way to add an infusion of youth to the Lakers rotation. With the season pending the Lakers will likely make some moves after the Lockout ends, but if they don’t they are still geared for a title run; especially with a well-rested and angry Kobe.

Goudelock can't have a C- because he hasn't played a single game yet. Fisher is the better player, due to experience and actually being a proven clutch NBA player.

 

And our two sophomores (Caracter and Ebanks) are basically going to be rookies next season, so I'm not sure how they are being graded lower than Majok (who we probably won't see) and even Morris and Goudelock.

 

If anything, they should all have the same grade, and lower than anyone else on the roster.

 

Ebanks is actually the best player of the five above, today, followed by Caracter.

Goudelock played with my buddy at College of Charleston and I went and watched a weekend tourney they were in. He is the REAL DEAL (pun intended) it is just if the Lakers give him a chance. He easily could be the next JR Smith.

So was Adam Morrison.

 

Yes, Goudelock is arguably the best three-point shooter in the draft...saw a few of his games.

 

But, I have this pet peeve (an NBA peeve?) to where I never overrate a second round player, especially when all I have to base it on is what they've done against inferior competition.

True but Goudelock is more athletic, but I see your point if you are a Laker fan then you might want my prediction to come true. Point taken dawg
