Summary
Should Austin Reaves be considered for the starting lineup? Is it possible that Russell Westbrook begins the season coming off the bench? How should the Lakers guard rotation shake out and how much does this time before training camp starts help inform those decisions? Pete, Mike, and Darius answer these questions in their discussion about the Lakers backcourt and who might have the leg up with training camp only a couple weeks away.
