Los Angeles Lakers: Building the all-time “second best” squad

While the NBA is at a standstill we have been getting creative with the Los Angeles Lakers all-time team builds. Today, we are bringing you the all-time team build full of second-best players.

The rules are simple: we are building the best starting five we possibly could full of players that never were the best player on the Lakers, in any season. How did we determine this?

From 1973 in beyond, we looked at Value Over Replacement Player (VORP), which is a somewhat similar statistic to Wins Above Replacement in baseball.
