Dorian Finney-Smith has been the exact player the Los Angeles Lakers have been lacking the past few seasons, an experienced 3-and-D forward who’s versatility can fit in just about any lineup.
The Lakers managed to acquire Finney-Smith from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for D’Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second round picks. The initial thought was that Finney-Smith would require a first round pick, so Los Angeles got him on a bargain.
Finney-Smith has been coming off the bench for the Lakers and head coach JJ Redick, though did just recently return to the lineup after a brief absence following the birth of his son.
