Connectors
In an NBA where star players have the most value and whose impact is felt most, it's the connective players who help elevate stars through their feel for the game and ability to extend advantage that often have more value than their salary would indicate. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the Lakers pivot towards more of these player types this season than last, and why Troy Brown Jr.'s potential to fill this type of role on both sides of the ball could be instrumental in the team's success this year.

The Bigs
In adding Thomas Bryant and Damian Jones this offseason, the Lakers hope to get a massive boost in both production and quality depth at the Center position compared to last season. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss both bigs as value additions who can be high reward players, debate who projects to be the best fit as a starter, and wonder whether Jones will end up shooting 3's this season. Then later, the guys offer their thoughts on both bigs' defense and whether one stands out above the other at that end of the floor. Learn more about your ad choices.

All About AD
With LeBron James and Darvin Ham reportedly agreeing that the offense should run through Anthony Davis more often, Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss what this could look like schematically, how much the load AD carries on defense will impact his ability to have this type of role on offense, and how much LeBron's own game -- as he ages -- impacts what AD's role on both ends should be.
