The Los Angeles Lakers are set for their best season in a long, long time. The arrival of Lebron James coincides with the a huge amount of young talent that looks set to break out this year. Brandon Ingram looks better than ever in the preseason and has meshed extremely well with Lebron. Josh Hart is ready to take the starting shooting guard spot and provide three and defence capabilities. And then you have a huge range of young talent in Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Svi, and Wagner. But there is one problem on this roster that is going to be a HUGE issue for the Lakers this season and could be the difference between them making the playoffs and not. For most fans they might think of Lance Stephenson or Javale McGee as potential problems who are going to wreck locker rooms, or make glaring mistakes on the court. For me these guys are huge pluses for this team, and McGee is actually part of the solution to their problem. So what is this glaring issue? It is the absolute lack of centres and big men overall on their roster. The Lakers essentially have McGee, Zubac, and Wagner as the big fellas and then nothing. They have been playing Kyle Kuzma as their small ball center, and it just has not been working. Mason Plumelee scored 23 points on perfect shooting and looked like Shaquille O’Neal was out there feasting on the boards and easy dunks when McGee was off of the court. And then Zubac and Wagner are in their third and first years in the season - they are young and neither of them are ready for huge minutes or to deal with the bigs of the West. So just how bad is this problem? This video will take a look at this question and then examine how each of the bigs could develop. Before taking a look at potential trades the Lakers can make, or free agents they can sign, in order to bolster their big man stocks.
