The point guard position has been a bit of a revolving door for the Los Angeles Lakers since LeBron James’ arrival in 2018. First, it was the Rajon Rondo/Lonzo Ball tag team. That experiment did not go according to plan. Then, it was LeBron manning the point guard position in the season following the acquisition of AD. This positional maneuver proved successful, as it yielded an NBA championship that season.
Prior to the following season’s title defense, the front office surprisingly traded for Dennis Schroder. Despite coming to LA following his greatest individual season as a sixth man, Schroder made it abundantly clear of his intent on starting at the point guard spot.
