Los Angeles Lakers: 6 biggest Western Conference competitors

The pairing of Anthony Davis, a consensus top-six player, with LeBron James, is widely expected to help produce a winning team for the Los Angeles Lakers. Together they should form an unstoppable pick and roll combination.

Once he fully recovers from his stress fracture, Kyle Kuzma should provide an excellent third scoring option. Between them, centers JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard could score 20-25 points and snare 15-20 rebounds a game.

The Lakers’ two biggest weaknesses the past few years, 3-point shooting and defense, were addressed during the offseason.
