Los Angeles Lakers: Player evaluations from preseason opener

We’ll analyze the first Los Angeles Lakers game action since last April.

LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the rest of the Purple and Gold dominated the Golden State Warriors during the Los Angeles Lakers first practice game.

Preseason doesn’t count. It’s just preparation for the regular season, but it matters. We can gain a lot of insight into how individual players have developed over the offseason. Or how others haven’t put in enough work during their vacation.

Plus, we can see how the Lakers new coaching staff is going to implement their offensive and defensive systems.

The Lakers are also in a unique situation. There are many fresh faces up and down the roster. Fans can sit back and observe which players are forming chemistry together and which men look out of place.

At this point, there’s no doubt that most Lakers fans are tired of reading the countless prediction articles that basketball writers, have continuously posted over the summer.

We’re only one practice game into the season, but finally, the Lakers have played a contest with their new and revamped roster.

Up next, we’ll get into some very early player evaluations based on one preseason contest, so take everything lightly because over the next few weeks’ things can change fast.
