Although the Lakers are only days away from the official start to their new season, there are still questions surrounding the team before they finally tip off. Chief among those curiosities rests on what the club’s finalized starting lineup looks like, and specifically, what Darvin Ham opts to do relating to the center position.
Many assumed the Lakers would revert back to the traditional two-big lineup based on their signings of Damian Jones and Thomas Bryant this summer. However, with both bigs failing to significantly impress this preseason combined with the slew of guards the coaching staff suddenly needs to find minutes for, the team may be leaning toward solving both issues by starting Anthony Davis at the five spot come opening night.
