The Baseline: Tracking the Lakers growth and statistical surprises
The Baseline is gearing up for the close of the NBA regular season in a major way but first, there is business to handle before the field of 30 widdles down to 16. On this week’s show we discuss:
The Breakdown:
- Are the Lakers poised for prominence? Jabari Davis joins the show to discuss all things Purple and Gold. We touch on Julius Randle‘s stellar season, Kyle Kuzma‘s breakout, Lonzo Ball‘s growth and Brandon Ingram‘s importance. We debate if Luke Walton is the man for the job and what must Magic Johnson and company do to get this team back towards the top in the West.
The Drop:
- Statistical surprises. Which players are amongst league leaders in a way we wouldn’t have expected? We touch on LeBron James, Darren Collison, Paul George, Kemba Walker and more.
