With AD hobbled by his heel, this is great news. Our lack of size has been a killer. Koloko should be able to replace Hayes and Reddish will likely replace Max. Problem is still bench scoring.
It would be great if Koloko was good enough to replace Rui in the starting lineup and still backup AD when he goes to the bench. Rui’s offense could be the punch the bench needs.
I’d also like to see Olivari get a shot at some bench minutes. Lakers should consider giving him a shot at Gabe’s minutes. At any rate, replacing Max and Jax with Cam and Chris is a good start. Let’s hope AD’s heel feels better tomorrow.
Just a reminder…
