My Opinion & Ratings

Scoring - 2.5: Rooks hasn't been given the chance to score as a Laker, but proved he could at Dallas and Minnesota.
Passing - 1.5: He's about an average passer for a center, which is way below average all-around.
Rebounding - 3: Uses his big body to clear out the paint.
Defense - 3: He's not going to turn away a lot of shots, but he's pretty hard to move.
Shooting - 3: Rooks is an average shooter from the post. It's not spectacular, but it works.
Clutch - 2: 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.
