The Lakers have been awful the past two years. They will likely receive a top pick after receiving a top ten pick last year. Although they have been very disappointing, they can use the talent they have and talent from the draft to build a playoff team next year.
Current Roster
Tarik Black- C/F
Vander Blue- G
Carlos Boozer-F
Jabari Brown- G
Kobe Bryant- G
Jordan Clarkson- G
Ed Davis- F
Wayne Ellington-G
Jordan Hill- F
Wesley Johnson- F
Ryan Kelly- F
Jeremy Lin- G
Ronnie Price- G
Julius Randle- F
Robert Sacre- C
Nick Young- F/G
Hopeful Rotation
PG- Jordan Clarkson
SG- Kobe Bryant
SF- Justise Winslow (In upcoming draft)
PF- Julius Randle
C- Al Jefferson (Free Agent)
6th Man- Nick Young
7th Man- Jordan Hill
8th Man- Wesley Johnson
9th Man: Ronnie Price
10th Man: Carlos Boozer
Bench: Jeremy Lin
Bench: Robert Sacre
Reserve: Tarik Black
Reseve: Wayne Ellington
Reserve: Vander Blue
To me, a backcourt featuring the rookie surprise Clarkson, the legend Kobe, and the incoming rookie Winslow is a top ten wing combination. Then add Julius Randle, who got hurt in the first game, and former All-Star Al Jefferson, and this team can compete for a spot in the West playoffs. Kobe is old, so he will need breaks, which is where Swaggy P will come in. Nick Young had an off year, but he is still the most dynamic scorer on the roster. Jordan Hill, Wesley Johnson, and Ronnie Price are reliable bench options as well. If the Lakers can snag Winslow and pick up Jefferson, this roster will be possible, and it will be good enough to push the Lakers into the playoffs.
