13) Los Angeles Lakers (2-4)
Last month: 14
With a stable of young thoroughbreds at his disposal, Luke Walton has the Lake Show playing at the fourth-highest pace in the league. However, faster doesn’t always mean better. The LA Lakers trail only the Chicago Bulls for the worst team offensive rating in the league (94.5)
Nevertheless, Lonzo Ball looks Jason Kidd-like, putting up a 10-8-8 line. Former Utah Utes forward Kyle Kuzma has also been one of the Association’s best rookies, averaging nearly 14 points per game and shooting over 50 percent from the field.
The Lakers captured a good win over John Wall and the Washington Wizards last week, but have dropped consecutive games since then.
