10. Los Angeles Lakers
I know, I know. Perhaps you believe I have the Los Angeles Lakers too high or even too low. Either way, I still don’t know what to make about this team. At times, they look good and it appears they’re about to breakthrough. But at other times, they look like an experiment gone bad.
Overall, I believe that they’ll be OK. The big question is whether OK will be good enough for this team to compete with the other contenders in the Western Conference. I’m not so sure.
Russell Westbrook has to play a lot better and has to look like a much better fit next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis than he does at the moment. There are a lot of questions that this team still has to answer.
