12. Los Angeles Lakers (9-6)
Last week: 16
The Los Angeles Lakers have been been shooting up our NBA Power Rankings over the last couple one weeks, and it’s beginning to look like this team is beginning to hit its stride. LeBron James is looking more and more comfortable with his new teammates, and the wins are beginning to pile up for this team.
Still, Lonzo Ball continues to be a concern for this team. He is still looking for his role under the new team and leaves much to be desired as a former No. 2 overall pick. This is certainly a situation to continue to monitor throughout the next few weeks and months.
If Ball still looks out of place in January, will the team look to use him in a potential deal to improve the roster?
