The Los Angeles Lakers can’t hide their excitement about Jake LaRavia, and he has them already reconsidering his role. The 6’8 wing is a unique talent capable of defending multiple positions, spacing the floor, and making plays. He could be the versatile option Los Angeles needs playing off Luka Doncic and LeBron James, and the 23-year-old is still improving.
Head coach JJ Redick has been impressed by LaRavia since the Lakers signed him to a two-year $12 million contract this offseason. He is working hard and standing out as the Lakers look to leap into serious title contention.
