JOHANNESBURG -- Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham told ESPN that the Lakers finally have the depth to win another NBA Championship, admitting their roster was notably shallow during their 2022-23 season.
The Lakers got last season off to a horrific start, going 0-5 and 2-10 in their first 12 games. However, Ham, who replaced Frank Vogel ahead of the campaign, oversaw a turnaround in fortunes as they scraped into the playoffs, and then beat the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors on the way to a 4-0 Western Conference loss to the Denver Nuggets.
