L.A. Lakers Pick Jordan Farmar

Chad Ford, ESPN Draft Expert has this to say... Nice pick for the Lakers here. They needed a point guard who can make decisions and hit open shots. Farmar is a little turnover prone and a streaky shooter -- but when you're drafting this low in the draft, it's a nice pick. Not sure how much of an impact he will make this season, but he's a solid pick here.

By getting a rather good pick late in the draft, maybe Mitch Kupchak is doing his job. I remember, he also picked Cook and Walton late in the draft 2 or 3 years back. Jordan Farmar is 6-2 point guard out of UCLA. So he'll be staying in LA still.

Now that someone my take his starting job, it is now up to Smush Parker to maintain his level of play. A guy that can score 10 to 12 points and give out 5 to 6 assists per game. And of course, his specialty, making steals here and there.

I just hope Kwame will continue to develop for the Lakers to contend in the the NBA again. We Lakers fans need NOT worry about Kobe Bryant. Now that Shaq (by being Wade's Robin BTW) took home another ring, the Mamba will do everything to get one too.
