Lakers Rank: Marcelo Huertas could be odd man out in crowded backcourt

Marcelo Huertas made the leap to the NBA and even earned a second contract with the Lakers, but could have a hard time finding the court in his sophomore season.

Editor's Note: #LakersRank trucks along, moving from the pair of wings at the bottom to a veteran sophomore point guard in Marcelo Huertas. Without further adieu!

Average rank: 12

Marcelo Huertas signing with the Los Angeles Lakers last season was something of a coup. A pick-and-roll specialist with significant experience at the international level and in the ACB (widely considered the second-best league in the world), Huertas should have easily found a role as a backup point guard on any number of contending teams.
