He further stated how the Lakers have “depth of firepower” and they can “lean on” that potential as they are coming back to their form again with crucial wins. He also further stated that the Lakers squad might also get Gabe Vincent back in the lineup and Jarred Vanderbilt, their prominent defensive player, will also add more power to their roster.
Bayless also took notice of Austin Reaves and stated that he has “found his place in the rotation” as well. He further mentions that the Lakers are “arguably the deepest team in the West”. The Lakers will next face the Sacramento Kings and after that, they will headlock with the Golden State Warriors.
