The Los Angeles Lakers have suddenly become a deep, young team after another round of fantastic drafting. Rookies Josh Hart, Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball are all key contributors just a few games into the regular season, and the former two have given a huge boost to head coach Luke Walton’s bench unit.
Julius Randle coming to terms with sliding down to the reserves has also given the second-line an extra punch, while Jordan Clarkson has fully evolved into the combo scoring guard that he always fit the mold of.
