Ron Ever: The Lakers' Optimist

I think the Nuggets are the team to beat, but I actually think the Lakers have way more optionality in depth than the Nuggets do. You know, if LeBron misses 20 games of 80 misses 20 games, I like Jackson Hayes a lot. Just the amount of guys on this team and there are guys too who, a lot of this is their role is scaled down. They have a lot of experience like Hachimura was a guy who was a pretty much a top option for the Wizards at points through our career. Now he scales back his role into a six man opportunity. He was great in the playoffs,. obviously, and you got guys all across the roster like that.
