I asked this question before the season started (JFarm)

I am sorry guys for those who it bothers that I am opening a post every day it seems like but I am just going crazy waiting on Bynum news the playoffs to start and for the MVP to be announced. I will try to open alot less threads and I have been trying to make good threads when I do that people can have good debates with and make the board better. Pretty soon I will be moving back to N.Y. again and will have not very much time to be here. Anyway here is my question read below.
I asked were do you guys thing he will end up talent and star status wise meaning who is he comparable to. Will he be just a career backup or a Derek Fisher a decent starter but never will be confused with an allstar or be like a Tony Parker and end up a star.
Now that he has clearly worked on his game and we all know his game very well I think it is a good time now to give opinions on his future potential and how he will be.
He averaged 9 points in 20 minutes. Now I know it isn't an exact science were if you double the minutes you double the points but if you did double his minutes and he did average 18 points in my book that is a star. Do you guys think he could average 18 points a game?
As for a pg meaning his pg duties I think we don't get to see it that much because of the triangle but if he were on another team and starting I think he would be one hell of a playmaker. On another team if starting I think he could average 7 assists. I think he could run a fast break team or run a half court offense team.
He has proven that he has a great work ethic. Now if he keeps that up and works on his game every single year I think he could be one of those top pg's who don't make the allstar team. He doesn't play like Felton or Miller but I think he has that type of potential to be on there level. He has a good assist to turnover ratio, he has a very high bball IQ and his 3 point shooting is great and will only get better. He has it all, he can drive to the lane and he can make plays and make his teammates better.
I think if he was on a different team in a year or 2 three years max he would be a guy who is your third option on offense and gets you 14-18 points with 7 assists. He would also probably average 2 steals if he had the fulltime minutes yet he doesn't gamble were it's a liability.
Now I am completely bias because Farmar is one of my 5th favorite player and he is a Laker so if I am wrong please tell me.
He is obviously our pg of the future unless Phil conviences Mitch to make a move for a tall pg and with Kirk on the block and Odom maybe getting traded it's possible but hopefully Farmar is the pg of the future. He has the 3 point shooting for it and with Bynum and Gasol being our future 4 and 5 and Kobe being there I believe Farmar will work even harder on his 3 point shot and possibly become a 40% 3 point shooter and he will get all the open looks he needs. Fisher is 34 years old this year and he will probably start next year but the year after that I see him going to the bench for Farmar.
Is it possible that we will have 3 legit allstars (Odom plays with this team like an allstar but he probably won't make an allstar game with the forwards in the west) and have 2 stars in Odom and Farmar or very close to stars?
Is it possible that our future starting lineup in 2010 has 5 stars? (Stars imo are not always allstars for example Mike Bibby is a star to me but not an allstar, Josh Smith, Andre Miller, Emaka Okufor, and these players range from awesome to pretty damm good like RJ is awesome but not an allstar and T.J. Ford is pretty damm good, they are all stars just not allstars).
I personally love Jordan Farmar but it is possible he is not as good as I think and if so I need to hear it. Sometimes he comes on the court and I expect so much and alot of the times he is just there giving Fisher a break so I am a little confused.
