As things currently stand, the Los Angeles Lakers are a game above .500 despite a tough early schedule, suspensions, an injury to the team’s starting point guard, LeBron James forgetting how to hit free throws late in close games and all kinds of excitement in-between.
With all of that said, fans can remain optimistic about this team. And if they really want to look for the first source of said optimism, they need look no further than the combination of wings who haven’t really figured things out quite yet: James and Brandon Ingram.
