Vlade Divac

Divac signed a two-year contract with the Lakers to become their starting center. He experienced a dropoff in rebounds (5.7 rpg in 2003-04) and, at 36, is ready for a drop off elsewhere as well. Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom will be the offensive stars on this team, but Divac could provide the team with a third or fourth scoring option. His real value at center is his ability to dish. He averaged 5.3 assists per game (career 3.1 apg) last year, and could be involved with distributing the ball, as the Lakers’ point guard situation is unclear.
