5 must-see Lakers lineups

With quite a few new arrivals, the Lakers will be able to experiment this season. Frank Vogel has a choice, including 5 particularly interesting lineups.

The new ones

Adam Pantozzi

Composition : Dennis Schroder, Talen Horton-Tucker, Wesley Matthews, Montrezl Harrell et Marc Gasol

The least we can say is that this starting 5 is very interesting. THT is not really new, but it will have bigger responsibilities for this new season. Schroder / Harrell embody the renewal and it will be interesting to see the contribution of Gasol. We doubt that Vogel will place these 5 men at the same time, but why not.

This is probably what the Lakers’ starting 5 will look like for this new season. Alone unknown? Dennis Schroder, who could be there, unless his talents are used off the bench. Whatever happens, it’s solid, and the Angelinos are the favorites to retain their crown.

Mad couriers

With LeBron and Gasol, the Lakers will have two exceptional couriers. Now is the time for Vogel to take advantage. Matthews could be used for long-range punishment, but the Angelinos can afford to hurt a lot with passing. Here again, the King will be able to feast.

Little used by Vogel last year, this lineup has something to seduce. Players ready for anything on the floor, and who can succeed together. We can replace Kyle Kuzma by Markieff Morris, and the result remains similar. To see if the coach tries things again for this new exercise.

If you see this lineup on the floor, the Lakers will have done the job. Vogel can be creative and offer minutes to players from the back of the bench. THT will be able to have fun and Cacok will have the opportunity to show off: to watch.

The Lakers will be followed closely for this new season, and as much to say that the possibilities of 5 are numerous. Frank Vogel does the rest.
