Alright, so today I’m gonna break down how I figured out the Lakers starting 5. It was a bit of a process, but hey, that’s what makes it fun, right?

First things first, I started with the obvious: LeBron James. You can’t talk Lakers without mentioning The King. He’s a lock, no doubt about it. So, I penciled him in immediately.
Next up, I looked at Anthony Davis. AD’s a beast when he’s healthy. A major force on both ends of the court. So yeah, he’s in there too. That’s two down.
Okay, now things started getting a little trickier. I had to consider who would complement LeBron and AD the best. What positions did they need filled? What kind of skillset were they looking for?
I remembered D’Angelo Russell. He can shoot and pass, good offensive player. I think he is one of the starting five.
So I was trying to figure out who’s gonna be the last dude in the starting lineup. After doing a bit of thinking and reading, I locked on Austin Reaves, especially after watching him play lately. Man, that guy’s got some serious hustle. Plus, he can handle the ball, create shots, and he’s not afraid to take big ones.
So, there you have it. My Lakers starting 5 is:
- LeBron James
- Anthony Davis
- D’Angelo Russell
- Austin Reaves
Now, this is just my take. Other folks might have different opinions, and that’s cool. But based on what I’ve seen, this lineup gives the Lakers the best chance to win. Let’s see if I’m right!
