The Los Angeles Lakers were oh-so-desperate for a center this past offseason that they were happy to get just about anybody to fill minutes at the five. However, after just one game, it is already evident that Deandre Ayton isn't the best fit , and there is still no depth at the pivot spot.
The Lakers lost their opening game against the Golden State Warriors despite Luka Doncic having a game for the ages. The Slovenian superstar scored 43 points, added 12 rebounds, and was only one assist shy of securing a triple-double. Outside of Austin Reaves, Doncic had very little help, and the flaws that were evident against Golden State could plague the Lakers all season long.
