Lakers quarterly season report: Andrew Bynum is ‘most improved’; Bryant ‘best overall performance’

As the first quarter of the NBA season comes to a close, the Lakers quarterly report - released Monday, Dec. 10 on the Lakers official Web site - awards Kobe Bryant with the best overall performance, as well as best performance in a single game for his efforts against the Denver Nuggets and best overall play for his one-handed ally-oop in last Sunday’s game against the Orlando Magic.

The report also detailed some of the season’s low point so far, with a tie between team members Luke Walton and Lamar Odom  for most disappointing performance. Walton, who had one of the most confident three-point shots in the league last year, has not returned to the court with that same confidence and his team mate Lamar Odom has turned in an equally unconvincing performance, with only 13 points, eight rebounds and two assists as the Lakers continue to count on him to step up his game - something he has been unable to do thus far, according to the article.

Unsurprisingly, The Lakers awarded the ‘most injured’ player to Kwame Brown, who has suffered a knee and ankle injury this season and has spent his second straight post playoff season on the bench, according to the article. The most surprising performance went to Jordan Farmar, who has been averaging ten points and three assists in just 21 minutes of play per game..
