The main criticism surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers’ additions this offseason mostly had to do with the age of the players brought in. Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza, Wayne Ellington and Kent Bazemore are all in their 30s already.
In fairness to the Lakers, the main focus of the team was to surround their three stars of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Westbrook with as much shooting as possible and most of their additions fit the bill. That especially goes for Ellington, who is a career 38.2% 3-point shooter and knocked down 42.
