LAKERS. With AD recovering his jumpshot, a guy like Poeltl can be the key for the success. AD is a POWER-FORWARD not a center, since 2020-21 has been saying he wants to play the PF and wants a center with him in the lineup because he feels more confortable and more free. So a pair of AD&Poeltl can be elite defensibly in the rebounding & rim-protection. Also in offense will be a problem. Also adding a true PG with defensive abilities in Schroder is important. Reaves could be a key player been in a role like Ginobili and letting the starting SG to Knetch who is a better offball player. Also adding a defensive wing in DFS to complement the roster. With the open roster i would go for a guy like Markelle Fultz or Dennis Smith Jr, two PG who can defend and score from the bench.

* PG SCHRODER | FULTZ OR DSJ | BRONNY
