It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers do not have the personnel to be a great defensive team as outside of Anthony Davis, guys like LeBron James, Austin Reaves, D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and Dalton Knecht are all known for their offensive prowess.
As a result, the Lakers have struggles on the defensive end of the floor, particularly when it comes to things that require physicality such as boxing out and keeping the opposing team off the offensive glass.
This is something they are trying to address though as head coach JJ Redick revealed that they had a very physical and competitive practice session on Monday.
