The Lakers are 24-13 through 37 games. That’s a 47-win pace in a 72-game season — and a 53-win pace in an 82-game season.
In a special installment of our check-in on the state of the team, here are our midseason grades for each Lakers player who has played 100-plus minutes and is on the official roster (i.e. no two-way players).
Note: Letter grades are subjective and individual to each player (i.e. grading two players with the same grade doesn’t mean they’re as good as each other or performed similarly). Factors used to determine grades include statistics, film review, age, role, skillset, performance relative to preseason expectations and comparing this season with last season, among other determinants.
