The Lakers are led by 2 young stars:

Xavier Henry is a 6'6 220 pound 26 year old SG/SF who is a terriic outside shooter who plays tough defense. He is a good ball handler who with excellent athleticism and driving ability. He is rated 91 overall. He averaged 24.7 ppg, 5.1 rpg, and 3.3 apg this year.

Paul George is a 6'8 210 pound SF who is 27 years old. He is a terrific outside shooter who isn't as athletic, but is a better defender. He is also a very good ball handler. He averaged 24.5 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 5.1 apg, 2.1 spg, and 1.4 bpg this year. He is rated 90 overall.

Pau Gasol is their old grizzled veteran PF. He is now 36 years old and is on the decline, but he is still a force at times. He is 7'0 250 and still has a good shot from 12 foot in. He is a decent post defender. His outside shot is not nearly as good as it used to be. He is rated 80 overall. He is avareging 11.2 ppg and 8.3 rpg.


SG Jordan Crawford is their #1 bench option. He is 6'4 195 lbs and is rated 80 overall. He is an excellent outside shooter who can play lock down defense. He is averaging 14.6 ppg and 1.4 spg off the bench.

PG Willie Warren is 6'4 203 and is a former Clipper 2nd round pick late in the draft but he has developed into a solid player. He is rated 76 overall and he has a good jump shot and is a terrific passer. He is averaging 13.6 ppg and 6.9 apg.

J.R. Smith is their 2nd best bench player. He is 31, 6'6 220 and is rated 72 overall. He has good athleticism and a good outside shot. He is averaging 7.9 ppg.

C Jermaine Cox is their weak point. He is a former 1st round (19th) pick of the Lakers who is starting at C for the 3rd year now (4th overall in the league.) He is 7'0 260 and is rated 69 overall. He is a decent rebounder and defender but very limited offensively. He is averaging 3 ppg and 8 rpg.

23 year old PF/C Clifford Lucas is their #1 big man off the bench. He is 6'11 250 and is rated 69 overall. He was the 11th pick in the 2014 draft. He is a solid rebounder and defender but is limited offensively. He is averaging 2.8 ppg and 2.9 rpg in 11 mpg.



The rest of their bench is thin. I'll play game 1 later today.
