LA Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers have a deep team already, but they don’t quite have the depth that a championship-contending team should boast.
Their bench is in the middle of the pack when it comes to scoring, but like with Milwaukee, Robinson III’s skill set would be a welcome addition behind Kyle Kuzma.
And, to be fair, a second-round pick and Talen Horton-Tucker, who is currently with the team’s G-League affiliate, shouldn’t be a bad load for a team that’s planning a title run behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Horton-Tucker is averaging 15.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game this season in the G-League. He was technically the Magic’s second-round pick this past draft yet could be an afterthought on the Lakers for quite a while.
The Warriors have a plethora of young talent that could use developing, but Horton-Tucker could be a star in this league. He just needs the opportunity, and Golden State, with still just nine wins, could provide that opportunity.
