Jordan Farmar did a good job as a reserve point guard as a rookie for the Lakers this season. He played in 72 games and he averaged 15.1 minutes, 4.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. He could be a future starter for the Lakers and it’s cool that he’s from UCLA. It has to be a dream come true for Farmar to be a Laker.

The Lakers wound up tied for 2nd in the Pacific Division with the Golden State Warriors. They were 42-40 which was 19 games behind the Phoenix Suns. The Lakers were a very solid 25-16 at home and they were 17-24 on the road. They were 28-24 against the Western Conference and 10-6 against their Divisional foes. The Lakers averaged 103.2 points per game this season and allowed 103.4 points per game. They limp into their playoff series with the Suns having only won 4 of their last 10 games.

Brian Cook has been simply awful in April so far and the Lakers need him to straighten out and help them make the playoffs. In 6 games in April, Cook is averaging 4.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. He also has shot really poorly as he’s only hit 32.3% of his shots from the floor. The Lakers need Cook to get his shooting touch back as he’s an important player when he’s on the court because he helps stretch the defense.

Kwame Brown’s ankle is bothering him and he likely won’t play again until the playoffs, if the Lakers make it. His season has been almost a complete waste as he only has played in 39 games and he averaged 8.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He shot 58.4% from the floor but most of his shots were putbacks or dunks. He has been a huge disappointment for the Lakers this season.

Ronny Turiaf has been outstanding off of the bench his last 8 games. In those games, Turiaf is averaging 21.3 minutes, 8.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 2.4 blocked shots per game. Turiaf is really giving the Lakers quality minutes as the team tries to hang on and make the NBA playoffs.
