This is the fourth installment in a multi-part series ranking the best Los Angeles Lakers at each position.
As a reminder, this is the criteria for a player to be included on the list:
• Played a minimum of 3 seasons with the Lakers. Longevity with the team is a factor. More recent Laker players are not favored over those from the more distant past.
• Only performance with the Lakers counts
• Can be rated at more than one position
• Minneapolis Laker players are included
Previous installments featured rankings of centers, power forwards and small forwards.
