My Opinion & Ratings

Scoring - 3: He showed he could put up good numbers in Boston, but he concentrates more on other aspects of the game as a Laker. He can still rack up the points if need be.
Passing - 3.5: He's a pretty good passer from the small forward position.
Rebounding - 3.5: He's averaged about four boards a game for his career.
Defense - 4: Rick's specialty. This is what the Lakers count on him to give every game, and he hasn't disappointed so far.
Shooting - 3: He's got good range for a man playing the 3.
Clutch - 3: Hasn't been called on much as a Laker, but what can you say when you've got one of the most dominating centers in the league on your team.
