With the 26th pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Jordan Farmar, a guard from UCLA. Good ballhandler and on the court leader with loads of athletic ability, say the ESPN broadcasters. Right pick by Phil Jackson?

Depends...is he going to want to dish the rock to Kobe?

Yeah, I pretty much imagine that'll be a large part of Farmar's job description in L.A.

Hopefully this means that Smush Parker will become the backup PG, a job he is much better suited for than starting. Farmar is an LA kid that stayed home to play college ball and now gets to live his dream of playing for the Lakers. Now if they can only get Bynum involved with the team and get Kwame Brown to continue inproving his game, maybe they can compete with Phoenix and the Clippers for the Pacific.
