L.A. Lakers’ Most and Least Improved Players of the Season

Although the Lakers' past two wins against the Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers may have boosted the morale of the team, there is no doubt that their sub-.500 record has brought doubt and uncertainty to their championship aspirations.

This list includes some of the biggest underachievers on the roster as well as players who have maximized their talent thus far.
