Wood joins the Lake on base salary
The Lakers' roster has completed 14 players, and the starting lineup is about to come out
1. Christian. Wood: Base salary signing
Age 28 years old, height 206cm
Position: Power forward
After the Lakers signed Wood, there are already 14 people on the roster, which are:
Point guards: Russell, Vincent, Hood
Shooting guards: Reeves, Reddish, Christie
Small forwards: James, Hachimura, Prince, Lewis
Power forwards: Thick-eyed Davis, Vanderbilt, Wood
Center: Hayes
Expected starting lineup:
Russell, Rivers, James, Vanderbilt, Davis
This starting lineup is almost identical to last season's playoff starting lineup,
Point guard: Russell
The point guard position should still be Russell's starter, Vincent can be used as the offensive starting point of the bench, of course, if the state is good, it is not ruled out that Vincent will start, rookie Hood fighting for garbage time can get playing time.
Shooting guard: Rivers
The quarterback will definitely start Rivers, with Reddish and Christie competing for a bench position.
Small forward: James
James will definitely start, but given his age, time will be scattered, Hachimura and Prince will share bench time, rookie Lewis will not have many opportunities to play, hoping to seize the opportunity to express himself.
Power forward: Vanderbilt
At the beginning of the season, Vanderbilt should still occupy a starting position, and the Lakers also need Vanderbilt's defense very much, but Hachimura and Prince will also be eyeing this starting position, and if Hachimura can use his offense to drive the bench, Prince's 3D attribute may be more suitable to play with James.
Center: Davis
Although Davis is called a power forward, he has been in the center position in the playoffs last season, and the young Hayes will become Davis' backup, and Wood will also try to compete for playing time, of course, if it encounters a team with a fierce interior attack, it is not ruled out that Hayes will start, and Davis will retire to the power forward position.
