ππ 2025 Los Angeles Lakers Starting 5 ππ
The LakeShow looks different this year β no AD, but still plenty of star power:
π Luka DonΔiΔ (#77) β the new engine in LA
π Austin Reaves (#15) β steady shooter & glue guy
π LeBron James (#23) β Year 22, still holding the crown π
π Rui Hachimura (#28) β mid-range assassin, versatile forward
π Deandre Ayton (#5) β patrolling the paint, steady big man presence
Off the bench:
β‘οΈ Marcus Smart (#36) β defensive dog, heart of the 2nd unit
π― Dalton Knecht (#4) β rookie sniper ready to light it up
The question isnβt if Luka & LeBron can score β itβs whether this group can defend and stay healthy long enough to make a run.
π¬ How far can this version of the Lakers go in the West?
