Adou Thiero might be fully healthy and ready for training camp, but that does not mean Los Angeles Lakers fans should expect to see him getting big minutes right away, or even at all this season for that matter.
The Lakers used the No. 36 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft to grab Thiero, a long, athletic wing with strong defensive instincts. He has got the upside, as well as the tools.
He is also walking into one of the most crowded forward rotations in the league. That is the case even with a roster spot still open for at least a little while.
