Deandre Ayton’s arrival is already forcing the Lakers to rethink everything about their rotation. With Ayton expected to start alongside Luka Doncic and LeBron James, coach JJ Redick faces a real challenge: stick with a traditional big man or lean into the small-ball lineups that worked so well last season. The competition for the fifth starting spot is heating up, and how Redick balances Ayton’s minutes could totally change the team’s style. Will the Lakers commit to Ayton in the middle, or will they ride the hot hand and go small more often? Training camp should give us a first look at Redick’s new approach. #Sports #Basketball #Lakers
