The Los Angeles Lakers 2025 NBA Champs? (Sports)
July 22, 2024
I’ve been keeping up with USA Basketball for the last month, and during the five exhibition games, I noticed that the two most dynamic players so far have been two Lakers players, Anthony Davis and LeBron James. The general media makes it seem that the Lakers aren’t championship contenders, but people are starting to realize the team is only a couple of pieces away from competing for a championship. Maybe JJ Redick was the missing piece, but I still think the Lakers need a center and someone who can consistently shoot the three-ball.
Newest Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht balled out during Summer League, shooting 39.1% from three on 7.7 attempts per game while averaging 21.1 points, so that’s a good sign for perimeter shooting. Let’s see how the rest of the off-season pans out for the team.
