The addition of Marc Gasol to the starting frontcourt was viewed as a solid move by the Los Angeles Lakers last offseason.
After all, Gasol was seen as a big man that was capable of both stretching the floor and defending the paint. More importantly, he boasted quality championship experience that the Purple and Gold hoped would pay some dividends when it came time to defend their title.
Unfortunately, Gasol’s performance fell vastly short of expectations and the Lakers were ultimately spurred to make a splash with the late-season addition of Andre Drummond. Since both experiments failed to produce the desired result, there is now plenty of speculation regarding how the frontcourt will look next season.
