The Lakers are in a precarious spot right now. For the time being, even with LeBron James and Anthony Davis as a foundation, they don't look particularly built to win now. But in the meantime, any future without those two seems equally problematic, and to illustrate the the latter issue, the Kamenetzkys dug into ESPN's new list of Top 25 players under 25, based on future potential (Insider account required). Seventeen of the 30 NBA teams had at one player on that list. Of the remaining 13 teams without one, another six were currently in the playoffs.And that leaves seven teams, including the Lakers, in neither category. And when you look at the company they're keeping, it'll likely give fans serious pause. Talen Horton-Tucker and Austin Reaves have shown some promise, but neither have come close to belonging on this type of list. And while the Lakers have excelled at finding young talent inside and outside of the draft, they're low on picks, and can only hit the undrafted jackpot so many times. Which puts them in quite the pickle now and moving forward.Plus, do the Lakers misunderstand their own history?Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySegment 1: Andy and Brian discuss the ESPN list.Segment 2: Why THT and Reaves have value, but at least for now, don't necessarily serve as quality building blocks or assets.Segment 3: What the Game 1's can teach us about the Lakers.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksCheck out PrizePicks.com and use promo code: “NBA” or go to your app store and download the app today.
