Rotation:

PF: Rui Hachimura/Jarred Vanderbilt/Christian Wood

C: Anthony Davis/Jaxson Hayes/Christian Koloko

Team Profile:

This team is built on the success of LeBron and AD. Even then, it may not be enough. Reaves projects as the 3rd option, with DLo and Rui rounding out the lineup. There are some concerns depth wise. Max Christie and Vando look like the best guys on this bench. However, there are promising guys like Knecht and Bronny however.

Strengths:

Starpower

Weaknesses:

Depth

Bench

Analysis:

Even with LeBron and AD at full strength, the West got a lot tougher which will make it hard for the Lakers to make the playoffs.

Record: 37-45, 3rd in Pacific, 9th in West
