The Los Angeles Lakers returned only six players from last season’s roster, and with so many new faces, including LeBron James, there were numerous questions about how the team would fit together on and off the court.
Unfortunately, nearly three months into the season, multiple questions remain unanswered. Do to injuries, illness and suspensions, the Lakers have never been at full strength for an extended period of time.
It has undermined their efforts to reach their full potential, and therefore, the biggest unknown is how good this team could be if or when everyone is healthy.
Aside from that one overarching question, there are other issues that will hopefully be answered between now and the end of the season.
