The Los Angeles Lakers are reaching the finish line when it comes to building out the roster for the 2021-22 season. With the addition of Rajon Rondo, the Lakers’ roster currently stands at 13 players with 15 players allowed in total.

Every report this offseason has indicated that the Lakers have all intentions on leaving an open roster spot for a potential in-season move. This is not uncommon as anything can happen during the regular season, both for the Lakers and for other teams, and there is no way to truly gauge the team’s needs and the market six months from now.

That leaves one more likely signing and we may have already gotten hints on the direction the team might go. The Lakers opted against re-signing Jared Dudley, who was supposedly great for team chemistry, with the intent of adding younger talent.

Rajon Rondo obviously is not young, so that last free-agent signing is likely going to be youthful. We have touched on the recent lottery guards that are still on the free-agent market, but after the Rondo signing, those guards are unlikely.

Instead, there are three young free agents that stick out above their peers as possible targets for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Keep in mind: the options at this point in free agency are not the greatest, especially when it comes to young talent. There are still some decent veteran options on the market whereas the young talent market is not as deep.

However, that being said, there are still some intriguing options.
