Summary

Thursday's show centered on big questions in the Lakers rotation. How will Darvin Ham chop up the minutes at point guard between D'Angelo Russell and Gabe Vincent? Is it really possible that Anthony Davis spends more time at power forward, which would open up center minutes (while also demanding LeBron James guard small fowards, and put a real minutes crunch on some of the team's better players) for Jaxson Hayes and/or big-man-to-be-signed-later? That conversation still left one big spot on the table: the forward rotation. That includes Rui Hachimura, who many people think will start... but should that be taken as gospel? What about the usage of Taurean Prince and Jarred Vanderbilt? Could Vando get squeezed if the Lakers find themselves in more consistent need of floor spacing or scoring? How does his defensive versatility match up with Prince's? Where does Max Christie fit in? These are all good problems for Darvin Ham to figure out, and he does it with a roster that has much more balance this season than last. One of the glue guys in that regard is Austin Reaves, who got some attention on Thursday's show thanks to footage of him trying on his new Team USA jersey for this summer's World Cup tournament. That he's on the roster is a genuinely impressive achievement, given his status as an undrafted player. But one subscriber to the YouTube channel raises a good question: Should the Lakers, who will lean heavily on Reaves this season (to the point that it wouldn't be shocking to see him lead the team in minutes) worry about fatigue, given his offseason schedule and what's to come? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Corrections and retractions, plus more rotation questions. SEGMENT 2: The forwards: Hachimura, Vanderbilt, Prince - how does all of this shake out?
