Los Angeles Lakers have had a roster overhaul this summer. They have added 16 players to their roster, which includes the likes of Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, DeAndre Jordan, Kendrick Nunn, among others. While many feel that the Lakers’ aging roster could be a problem for a long season, but the youthful presence of Kendrick Nunn and Malik Monk can be a potential solution.
The preseason has already started, and the Lakers have lost both of their games. The preseason’s results are not a concern, as the focus is on the process. But younger players such as Kendrick Nunn and Malik Monk have excelled in these two games.
Frank Vogel has started Kendrick Nunn in both preseason games and Nunn has impressed in both. Nunn could be the starter for the Lakers this season in Trevor Ariza’s absence. Scouts have a positive review for him due to his defensive potential.
