Backcourt: D’Angelo Russell & Jordan Clarkson
This is the lineup the Lakers better start the season with.
D’Angelo Russell didn’t look too comfortable running the offense during Summer League, but playing with Kobe Bryant will change that real quick.
Russell is a rookie that will be thrown into the fire. Clarkson has earned his stripes as fans already see him as the replacement for Bryant. He played well last year, showing flashes of being able to carry a team.
