L.A. CONFIDENTIAL.Byline: --Ross Siler After beating San Antonio San Antonio (săn ăntō`nēō, əntōn`), city (1990 pop. 935,933), seat of Bexar co., S central Tex., at the source of the San Antonio River; inc. 1837. in their 20th game of the season Sunday, the Lakers are a quarter of the way through the season. Some grades for the quarter: I've got two players with A's so far in Luke Walton Luke Theodore Walton (born March 28 1980 in San Diego, California) is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). His position is small forward. and Jordan Farmar Jordan Robert Farmar (born November 30, 1986) is an American professional basketball player at starting point guard for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers. He was previously the starting point guard for the UCLA men's basketball team. . Walton has become a fixture in the starting lineup For the line of action figures, see . A starting lineup in sports refers to the set of players actively participating in the event when the game begins. The players in the starting lineup are commonly referred to as starters, whereas the others are substitutes and is averaging 12.5 points and shooting 53.6 percent. Farmar has exceeded all expectations for a player who turned 20 at the end of last month and was a late first-round draft pick. I'd give Kobe Bryant Kobe Bean Bryant (born July 23 1978) is an American All-Star shooting guard in the National Basketball Association (NBA) who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. a B so far. The 52-point game against Utah was a statement coming back from knee surgery and Bryant made the switch from the wing to the backcourt for the sake of the team. It's just hard to forget the Bryant of last season who carried the Lakers for games, weeks and months at a time. I'll refrain from giving out other grades -- I do have to see these guys every day -- but if you post your first quarter report card, I'll make sure it gets up on the site. |
