|
|
Do you think the Lakers will carry a full bench? Or will the Lakers run with 12 players like a Phil Jackson team.
NBA Roster Size Rules
15 players on roster
12 or 13 players on Active List
8 players must suit up for every game
Inactive list is the players who aren't on the Active List for today.
Players assigned to D-League are automatically placed on the Inactive List
Suspended players, unsigned draft picks, retired players and players in the military are ignored for roster size limitations.
Rosters set for NBA Opening Day on October 26
A team with 4 injured players may apply for a Hardship exception to temporarily increase the roster to 16. The Hardship ends when any one of the injured players is physically able to return to action. The team must then waive a player.

Bench is very solid
Jose Calderon / Marcelo Huertas
Lou Williams / Anthony Brown
Luol Deng / Nick Young
Larry Nance Jr.
Tarik Black / Ivica Zubac |

Young is the wild card. Or maybe more correctly, that roster spot.
Can they get anyone to contribute for Young in trade? Who fills that roster spot? Does he somehow mend all fences and show the coaching staff a level of maturity most of us find him incapable of reaching?
I actually like the bench quite a bit this year. Some solid upgrades. Doubt they stay at 13 players. More likely 14 or 15.
Auguste seems to be a fan favorite as a end of the bench prospect. And then that "Young" roster spot on the perimeter.
How they fill that spot could be telling. A vet like MWP? A rookie? Somehow land a productive impact player in trade or waiver wire type player? Going to be interesting to see the reasoning by Kupchak. |

So you have Clarkson/Russell
Ingram/Randall/Mozgov with 14 players that seems like a big team the Lakers normally don't carry

Lakers almost always carry 14, sometimes 15

NBA rules require teams to have at least 13 players on their roster BTW.

didn't we go into the season last year with 15? That 14th & 15th guy do not prevent any moves in the future if they are on min. contracts...the player can simply be waived if the spot is needed for some unforeseen reason. |

I don't see Ingram starting from day one since we are not supposed to tank again next year, he is really young and last year experience starting a couple of rookies before they were ready was not smooth at all.
I believe we should start:
JC
DLO
Deng
Julius
Mozgov
with a second unit of
Calderon
Lou
Ingram
Nance
Black
Nance has potential to fight for a starting position. He may be a better fit than Randle with the starting unit, but I'd like to see Randle play first. They should get plenty of minutes anyway.
Ingram is a smart player with huge two way potential. He should play as many minutes as he can handle keeping the focus on development. When ready he is going to be a starter, be it this year on not.
Big Zu may get some time early because he seems ready to go on small spurts and garbage time. I believe we can see his minutes increasing with production. I'm a big fan of this pick, that was not supposed to be a draft where a big with his potential would be available. He is our second prospect with two way potential from this draft, it's too early but I'm giving an A++ to the scouting department this year.
Huertas and Brown close the rotation as 3rd string subs situational players. |

You're confusing how many players can dress and be used in a game with roster. The league requires that each team have a minimum of 13 players and a maximum of 15 under contract at any time during the season. There are some provisions to go beyond 15 in the case of long term injury.
The league only allows a certain number of them to dress for each game, but the other guys are still on the roster and count against the cap, and can play in the next game.

| Julius looks good in the vids I've seen. We've got some real depth at PF/C including Tarik, who wants to prove himself this year. We could come at teams in waves if we wanted to go up tempo the whole game. If we carry 14, I'd guess??? Anthony Brown and Huertas would be sitting, at least to start the season. Zubac may surprise enough that Tarik is eventually sitting... |

Jose Calderon / Marcelo Huertas
Lou Williams / Anthony Brown
Brandon Ingram
Larry Nance Jr.
Tarik Black / Ivica Zubac
Pretty solid bench. I don't like the reductant talent in both Calderon and Marcelo and we could use another vet perimeter wing (Kevin Martin, Caron Buter, Tayshaun Prince, Alan Anderson, Gee, Gerald Green, Jordan Hamilton, James Jones)

I agree with your take.
Ingram coming off the bench may not be the worst thing for him. He'll have an easier time finding shots with the second unit. Plus, it's all about minutes rather than starter/bench for now.
Nance/Randle will be an interesting balancing act for Luke. |
