The Los Angeles Lakers secured former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton this summer to be their solution at center. Not only has he fallen short of what they need, but his former teammate Robert Williams III is showing the Lakers just what they could have had instead.
The Lakers have been searching for a solution at center since the moment Luka Doncic was inexplicab.y traded to them. They tiptoed the finish line on a trade for Mark Williams, have been in trade talks for Walker Kessler, and have been linked to every veteran name from Brook Lopez to Al Horford.
