Los Angeles Lakers should make Johnathan Williams their new backup center

With arguably their second and third best players serving suspensions, the Los Angeles Lakers were short-handed on Oct. 22 against the San Antonio Spurs. Even though they lost, the suspensions may have created an opportunity for an unsung hero who can really help this team moving forward.

Like most, if not all of you, when the Lakers‘ roster was set a couple months ago, I took stock of who they had and made some educated guesses as to how this season may turn out.

Contrary to what many national pundits were saying, it seemed like the Lakers might be a decent 3-point shooting team, as they have some good, decent outside shooters.
