#3 Outside of LeBron James, the Lakers do not have a reliable scoring ball-handler
The Los Angeles Lakers roster comprises of only three players scoring in double-digits. The offensive distribution is ridiculously skewed. Moreover, Playoff Bron is projected to take over as the permanent floor general come playoff time.
The likes of Rajon Rondo, Alex Caruso and Quinn Cook have just not been consistent when bringing the ball up the floor, which puts immense pressure on LeBron to make the right plays when he is on the court.
While Rondo has not been much of a shot-creator this year, Caruso and Cook are averaging under 6 ppg so far. Even though Avery Bradley has emerged as their latest three-point dark horse, when one imagines full-court pressure on him by Pat Bev, the outcome does not look good.
The Clippers have multiple lineups that they can utilise, and their guard rotation is stacked to the brim at the moment. And considering the playoff version of Leonard we witnessed last year, the Clippers seem like surefire title contenders - even though they haven't been the best team for a consistent stretch so far.
Guess the Lakers players!
