Los Angeles Lakers’ Likely Starting 5 Finally Revealed

The Los Angeles Lakers have finally come out with their 5 man starting line up for the new NBA season. The Lakers are set to get the season started on October 20th against the Golden State Warriors. They will be taking the floor with a very different roster than last season. The playoffs ended in disappointment as they failed to beat the Phoenix Suns. LeBron James and company are ready to get back on the court.

However, the roster is going to look a lot different. The starting five will likely involve Anthony Davis at the 5 spot, something we have not seen much before. The rest will be Westbrook, Ellington, Ariza and James.

This is pretty exciting seeing Westbrook in the starting lineup. He recently talked about what it was likely finally being able to play for the Lakers.

“Being from LA, you always wish that you could play for your home team,” Westbrook said. “That’s definitely something that always circled around in my mind. Maybe one day? But I always would come back and be like, ‘Ah, that probably won’t happen.’ I just had to wait and see. But now that we’re here, I’m going to take full advantage of it.”

“LeBron is one of the best players to play this game, and his ability to do everything on the floor allows me to just figure it out,” Westbrook said. “I’m coming to a championship-caliber team, and my job is to make his game easy for him, and I’ll find ways to do that. As it pertains to ball-handling, it really doesn’t matter. There’s many different ways you can impact the game without having the ball in your hands. I’ve been able to do that for a number of years, and we’ll figure it out.”

“Anytime you have three great players like this, there is an element of sacrifice required, and we’ve all talked about that and are all-in on that,” Vogel said. “But these three guys can do it all. They’re all make-the-right-play players. It’s not just about scoring or being a one-dimensional player. They can all do it all. I’m most excited about seeing what the three of them on the court at the same time looks like.”
