The history of the Los Angeles Lakers might be dominated by the superstars whose numbers hang in the rafters but in recent years, it has been the team’s player development that has shined the brightest.
There is not a team in the league that has not only been able to identify promising talent but get the most out of that talent. Just look at the rapid rise of Austin Reaves, who legitimately could be an all-star in the next four years.
But the Lakers are not perfect and they are not going to turn every single young player with some potential into a star.
