Summary

The Lakers haven't done much this offseason, and as such have some holes in the roster, one of the biggest being at backup center. That hole only got larger after Christian Wood underwent knee surgery last week. He'll be out until at least early November, likely longer. So with that in mind, the Lakers did make a move this week, signing former Toronto center Christian Koloko to a two-way contract (and releasing forward Blake Hinson to make the space). Koloko has a small body of work to evaluate, and hasn't played for about 18 months after a blood clot issue forced him to miss last season. So to get a better feel for his game, Sean Woodley of Locked On Raptors joins the show to provide a scouting report. Among the big topics of discussion: How effective is Koloko defensively? Is the offense as bad as advertised? Can Koloko contribute to a team with aspirations (assuming expectations are held at an appropriate level)? How much growth potential is there? What does it say about the Lakers and their current predicament that we're talking about Koloko as a potential rotation player, which isn't a consideration usually afforded a two-way player? Is his ability to contribute this year even the best thing about the signing? Plenty to unpack! HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky with guest Sean Woodley, Locked On Raptors SEGMENT 1: Woodley on Koloko's O and D. SEGMENT 2: Can Koloko contribute? SEGMENT 3: How much could Koloko play?
