The Los Angeles Lakers have good depth in the backcourt, but that could change over the next several weeks.
D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, Lonnie Walker IV and Dennis Schroder will be free agents this summer. It will be difficult for Los Angeles to retain all four on new contracts, and there could be a scenario in which none of the four come back.
Even if it loses just one of those players, it will need to find at least one replacement. Luckily, the Lakers have the No. 17 and No. 47 picks in the 2023 NBA draft, which could yield a solid, reliable guard.
One guard they recently worked out is Cameron Shelton of Loyola Marymount University.
