Report Card: Lakers overwhelmed Pelicans, Anthony Davis
By Jacob Rude
D+. <strong>17</strong> <strong>min, 0-2 FG, 0-2 3P, 0-0 FT, 0 PTS, 2 REB, 3 AST, 1 STL, 0 BLK, 1 TO<br /> </strong> <p>Price continues to be woeful. Maybe you can say what he brings to the team can’t be measured in stats. I tell you that’s just wrogng. I’d take Clarkson and a handful of free agents over Price. With Miller coming in and likely to be signed, Price seems like the natural player to be on the chopping block.</p>. PG. Los Angeles Lakers. RONNIE PRICE
B+. <strong> 27 min, 3-6 FG, 2-2 FT, 8 PTS, 11 REB, 0 AST, 0 STL, 2 BLK, 2 TO</strong> <p>Davis was the most effective for the Lakers against the Pelicans front line, but that’s not to say he was necessarily good. Davis blocked him (and presumably every other Laker) and embarrassed him a fair amount, but <strong><a href=. PF. Los Angeles Lakers. ED DAVIS
C+. <strong> 14 min, 3-4 FG, 0-03PT, 2-4 FT, 8 PTS, 0 REB, 0 AST, 0 STL, 0 BLK, 0 TO</strong> <p>Jordan Clarkson got the most minutes he’s seen since the second game of the season in Phoenix, another blowout. Despite the big gap, he looked comfortable. He had a nice floater in the first half after probing around the rim before finding an opening. Late in garbage time, he got out in transition and showed his elite athleticism. Simply put, he needs more minutes.</p>. PG. Los Angeles Lakers. JORDAN CLARKSON
C-. <strong> 10 min, 1-2 FG, 0-2 FT, 2 PTS, 0 REB, 1 AST, 1 STL, 0 BLK, 0 TO</strong> <p><strong><a href=. SF. Los Angeles Lakers. XAVIER HENRY
