let me ask you guys something. what else can white do besides jump high? I mean really do. shooting mid to low 30's in 3pt% in college, is nothing to talk about, when you're a swing man in the nba. I know they say he is good rebounder. but how good? is he shawn marion good on the glass? Jumaine Jones(good rebounder for his size)? I also haven't heard anything about him blocking shots with all that jumping ability. that tells me he doesn't have the timing down. I just want to know, is it all about the Flights and thats it?


White isn't a PF that Shawn Marion was when he played JuCo.

He's just a flat out wing player trying to learn guard skills.

Name a SG that goes out of his way to block shots.

Having watched him quite a bit, I think Farmar could be a late lottery talent next year if he were to stay in college.

His penchant for lackidaisical high lead passes, a left hand that could be improved, inconistent J, and inability to consistenly break down a defender and penetrate are well noted.

That being said, I would take him in a heartbeat at 26, with the caveat that the Lakers take the best available regardless.

If Farmar can work on his areas of improvement, I see a bright future ahead of him.

He is a winner.

I think we should pick Farmar at 26, and then trade our 51 to Detroit for Maurice Evans. I'm pretty sure Mitch could pull that off.

I don't know... seems like a stretch to me. Why not just have Mitch draft a 195-lb. center while he's at it?

I didn't expect Jordan Farmar to be available at #26. I was getting excited when I saw he was still on the board after 15 or so.
