Key player for the Los Angeles Lakers
The easy thing here is to point out Lebron James Well, he’s one of the NBA’s big stars, who will also become the all-time leading scorer barring injury. But, as has become clear over the past two seasons, it is Anthony Davis who has it in his hand to define the possibilities of the Lakers in a Regular Phase.
The interior has had constant physical problems since arriving in the discipline of Los Angeles, which was only minimized by the suspension and postponement of the 2019-2020 campaign in which everything was solved in the bubble. The general trend of AD was to manage loads and these different physical problems.
So, Anthony Davis he has lost 29% of the games since arriving at the franchise and He has played just 47% since being crowned champion in October 2020. Sprained ankle, Achilles tendon, groin, toes, knee… Too many casualties for a player called upon to lead the franchise when James decides to retire.
That’s why all eyes will be on the Chicago native’s future and health. Someone who when healthy has proven to be one of the most versatile players in the entire NBA on both ends of the court. After a long time out of season where he was able to recover from all his illnesses and polish your grooming, Davis is tasked with being the driver for the Lakers.
Darwin Hamm has made it clear that he wants to move the offensive system to the interior, an idea that Frank Vogel has already explored unsuccessfully, but may now make sense given the team’s momentum. Will Davis be the figure everyone is waiting for?
The story ahead for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2022-2023
The past few months have been a time of change once again in Los Angeles. Last year’s failure with the failed Russell Westbrook experiment forced Rob Pelinka and the entire administration to reframe the project. This led to revolution in the Lakers’ roster, and only six players from last season will repeat in this one. A number that could be reduced if Rush is eventually transferred, which has yet to be determined.
Among all these new faces on the Lakers there is one common pattern that unites them all. And it is that almost all the signings they have made in this market they are players who have something to prove, that is, they seek to restart their careers. There are two ways to achieve this goal in the NBA: go to a small and usually losing team, or go to an aspiring franchise. In the case of numbers like Dennis Schroeder, Lonnie Walker or Thomas Bryant It’s clear they chose to trust the Los Angeles project to land a more lucrative contract in the future if all goes well.
These kinds of moves are usually high-risk, especially if the results don’t come, which the Lakers know firsthand. That’s why the big question about the California team is whether with all these signings, including this one Patrick Beverley, they will be able to get back into the top 4 of the Western Conference. Past has shown that betting against LeBron James’ team when no one cares is usually wrong, but approaching his 38th birthday the margin for error is shrinking.
