Can Lou Williams Make an Impact Right Away?

The Lakers made multiple changes to their roster, including adding pieces Brandon Bass and Lou Williams. Both players offer different and unique production. Lou Williams, the reigning 6th man of the year, can bring scoring off the bench or even in the starting lineup. Now, going into 2015-2016, the Lakers, and Lou Williams, are in an awkward spot. Currently they have Kobe Bryant, Nick Young, and Lou Williams listed as a shooting guard. This is where the awkwardness comes in. How can this trio of shooting guards work? More importantly, if the Lakers want to run Russell and Clarkson on the floor at the same time, that makes another shooting guard out of the two.
