A start to test the Lakers’ potential

In case they Lakers they had little with his recent injury Dennis Schroederwho will be out for about a month, and his muscle problems Russell Westbrook, These should proceed with a panorama that is not easy. In the first six games of the season they will have to face three of the main contenders to lead the Western Conference, such as Warriors, Clippers and Nuggets.
Not only that, but they’ll do it practically in a row. The only “rest” that the program will give Angelenos will be the duels against Blazers and Timberwolveswhich are unknown today, but quite dangerous.
The main short-term weakness of the Lakers is off shot, a fundamental aspect to the current game, but they have no specialists on the roster right now. While the offseason is often a time when the numbers shouldn’t get too hard, the Californians put together a 28.6% accuracy from long range. names like Westbrook, LeBron, Reaves, Schroder or Beverley shooting under 33% (the outside efficiency limit), although others like Matt Ryan, Kendrick Nunn or Anthony Davis were around 40%.
If you consider that Clippers, Nuggets, Warriors and Timberwolves They will be teams with great defensive potential (with different nuances between them) Darvin Ham’s men will have to find a way to raise their percentages or give diversity to their attack in a very short period of time.
Still, according to Cleaning the Glass, a tool that eliminates so-called “garbage” gives the Lakers 40.2% outside accuracy in the preseason, a more down-to-earth figure of course.
Outside of foreign production, the ballot that the Lakers have to solve, it seems, is not easy at all. Results are expected in Los Angeles, which must be positive, and they must come as soon as possible to prevent the pressure from consuming the group. The problem is that the conditions are not right and the outlook for the future is also not very rosy.
According to Tankathon Californians have it 15th most complicated program in the NBA, that is, right in the middle of the entire league. However, it is sixth hardest in the Western Region, just before rebuilding teams like the Thunder, Rockets, Spurs, Jazz and Kings. This, obviously, is just a prediction, but it already hints at where the Lakers’ season will go, and the script may follow the same course as the previous two courses.
