Lakers report card: Kent Bazemore
Over this next week The Times will conduct exit evaluations of the Lakers’ roster, player by player. Today’s group includes a look at guard Kent Bazemore’s key statistics, contract status, preseason expectations, current reality and what the future holds.
Key stats: Started each of the Lakers’ first 13 games, then just once after that.
Contract status: Unrestricted free agent
The expectation Oct. 19: Bazemore was supposed to be a two-way threat, defending and hitting spot-up jumpers on the other end of the court.
The reality April 10: Bazemore lost his starting spot early in the season and was relegated to the back of the bench, though his attitude always earned compliments.
The future: Bazemore’s spirit and approach should be welcome anywhere, but he’s looking for a chance to play — and that probably won’t be with the Lakers.
All things Lakers, all the time.
