The start of the 2018-19 season has not gone the way many Los Angeles Lakers fans probably hoped.
Losers of their first two contests and now slapped with multiple-game suspensions for two of their starters, Brandon Ingram and Rajon Rondo, the team is in search of improvement.
On the court, the team’s most glaring weakness has been on the defensive end, as they have allowed a combined 252 points within their first two games. The combination of their lack of traditional front court depth and having to square off against All-Star level perimeter talent has put excessive stress on the team’s individual defenders, most notably Kyle Kuzma.
