League Search Page > NBA > Los Angeles Lakers > Roster & Statistics

The 1974–75 Los Angeles Lakers relied primarily on Gail Goodrich and Lucius Allen to generate offense, with both serving as the team’s leading scorers while also handling much of the playmaking. Happy Hairston anchored the rebounding effort, and Connie Hawkins added versatile support across multiple categories. Despite solid individual production and an up-tempo style, the Lakers struggled with shooting efficiency and defence, contributing to an inconsistent overall season.
