The Los Angeles Lakers will be a top 3 seed in the West
We now have the boldest of predictions. And it’s that I believe the Los Angeles Lakers will finish as a top 3 seed in the Western Conference. Looking at the conference as a whole, it may not be as insane of a prediction as you may think.
Which teams are we SURE will be elite in the West? Are you willing to hang your hat on the Phoenix Suns and everything that they’re currently going through and have gone through? I’m not. The Memphis Grizzlies should be good again but there could be some regression for such a young team.
The LA Clippers have elite talent but can they stay healthy? I’ll give you the Golden State Warriors, but other than that team do you truly have faith in any one team being absolutely dominant? I don’t.
After those four teams, everything is a guess in the West. I’d take my chances with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Their biggest question is health. If they’re available, you’d have to think that the Lakers will have a shot every night.
Let me be the first to put my neck out there; the Lakers will be a top 3 seed in the West this season.
