Lakers are weakest in the point-guard position contributing only 14.4 PER*. That's because both Derek Fisher and Jordan Farmar are not consistent shooters.

They are also weak at the small-forward position with just 16.5 PER.

They're strongest at the shooting-guard position with 24.4 PER. That's obviously because of Kobe Bryant. They rank # 2 in the league on net-PER behind Miami Heat.


They are also strong at the center, with both Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum playing the position, with 22.0 PER.

But they are very weak also at the Power Forward position at 18.1 PER. This is surprising because Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol alternates in this position.
