Whenever a preseason begins, there are a large number of questions or doubts that arise about the roles of the players, which will only be dispelled after the preparation matches. After acquiring several players in the offseason, this pre-season campaign was vital for the Los Angeles Lakers.
There were many roles to distribute and many players who would have to fight for a position within the Lakers and after the entire preseason is over, it is clear the positions that all Californian basketball players will have throughout the 2023-24 campaign.
Next, we present the two winning players of the preseason and the two basketball players who lost the most after the six preparation games played by the Californian currency.
Despite not being in the Lakers’ starting five for the 2023-24 campaign, Rui Hachimura is one of the big winners of the preseason. The Japanese will be the great sixth man of the Californians in this harvest. His role went from a player he can contribute to a vital player in the second unit. In Los Angeles they already see him as an attacker of guarantees.
Hachimura substantially improved his three-point shot in the warm-up games. The 25-year-old player had a 40% success rate on his three-point shots, something that was his Achilles heel in the previous season when he had a 29.6% conversion rate on three-pointers.
