Much of the focus on the Los Angeles Lakers’ potential moves this summer has been on the guard and wing spots. Rumors abound that they may go after Kyrie Irving again, and, more recently, there has been noise about Chris Paul possibly joining them on a discount contract.
But they could also use some improved frontcourt depth, especially after they were swept by Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference finals. It looks like the road to the NBA Finals in the West will go through Denver and its MVP center for a while.
The Lakers could add a useful frontcourt player in the 2023 NBA draft using their No. 17 and No. 47 picks. One frontcourt player they recently worked out is Adama Sanogo out of the University of Connecticut.
