Los Angeles Lakers: Ranking the most important players on the roster
1. Anthony Davis
When healthy, I don’t think there’s any question that Anthony Davis is a top 3 player in the league. The big problem is that Davis had had trouble staying healthy over the course of his career. However, when he was healthy for the Lakers in the playoffs, he helped carry them to a championship.
If the Lakers are going to be a legit threat to win the title this season, the first box that they’re going to check is having a healthy Davis. The Lakers aren’t true contenders if that isn’t the case this season.
