The Los Angeles Lakers have given us new things to ponder through three preseason games.

The Los Angeles Lakers are 3-0 in games that do not count this season as they are ramping up for the start of the NBA season on December 22. The Lakers bested the Los Angeles Clippers twice in Staples Center, defeated the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday and have one more game in Phoenix before opening the season against the Clippers.

The preseason can be very valuable as it can give us a glimpse of what is in store for the upcoming season. However, I would avoid taking too much into consideration, as at the end of the game, this is a minuscule sample size in games that do not matter.

They still can create questions, though, and these three games certainly have. We will only learn the answers to these questions as the year goes along.

Honorable mention: Is Talen Horton-Tucker legit?

I would include this as one of the questions as THT has been remarkable in the preseason. However, I have already answered this question in a different article, so it does not really fit the premise of this article.

Spoiler alert: yes, he is legit. Let’s get into the first question.
