How will the Lakers look for the season?

One major upside for LA is that they have many playmakers this season. This will allow LeBron to play a much more natural role. With news that he and Anthony Davis will start at their original positions, it’s safe to assume there will be a change in play style for them.

The Lakers have reliable scorers along with some clever playmakers. Westbrook and Rajon Rondo will be the primary playmakers for them. While Russ was the leader in assists last year with 11 assists per game, Rondo, although past his prime, is an exceptional facilitator as well.

This could mean that LeBron James and Davis will take a much more aggressive role on the scoring end this season. Russ will take his shots down and focus on being a facilitator for his team. Do you think this system can work out for the purple and gold? Let us know in the comments below.
