Depth Charge

If Eddie Jones stays hot and either Kobe Bryant or Nick Van Exel gets hotter, the Lakers could achieve a rare double: having three players with scoring averages of 20 points or more per game and six with scoring averages in double figures. Come playoff time, however, such an achievement may not be so desirable: None of the three teams that accomplished that feat (with the players scoring in double figures appearing in a minimum of 40 games) came close to winning an NBA title.
