24. Los Angeles Lakers

Entering the 2016-17 NBA season, much of the intrigue surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers centered around Lonzo Ball. And even though much of that was warranted, Ball hasn’t exactly blown away the NBA this season.

Still, he’s been fine. He hasn’t been great or a transcendental talent, but he’s been good. And that’s all the Lakers really need him to be.

Brandon Ingram has been better this year, and the play of Kyle Kuzma has been a pleasant surprise for the Lakers. Los Angeles couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season.
