Who is the Lakers' third best player?

Who is the 3rd best player at Lakers?

[ArbitraryWater]

It should be Kuzma but smh, I still have the vision of a Bradley being 3rd best once he's in tuned, but honestly it could be anyone from Kuz/Brad/Dwight/Green or even Rondo on any day.

Some days maybe even Caruso.

Kuz for Beal doe. Leggo. Get that Washington tank engine going

[elementally morale]

I lean towards Dwight. Should be Kuzma but he isn't playing well and/or isn't used well. Green is okay, Bradley was all right... but I think Dwight Howard has the 3rd most impact on the team right now.

Dwight

Probably Dwight, which is crazy considering he was a heartbeat away from being out of the league this offseason and literally 29 other teams could have had him and nobody wanted him. NOBODY. Not a single team. NONE. ZERO. ZILCH. ZIP. NADA. Which makes it even funnier when people try to argue that the Lakers have somehow unfairly stacked the deck because of him.

As far a 29 other teams not wanting him... rightfully so, I might add. He'd been a major cancer up until this season.

Something seems to have woken him up.

Whether that's the realization that he was on the way out, the fact that they're winning a ton, the fact that he's never played with someone who was clearly head and shoulders ahead of him on the hierarchy like he is with LeBron, or some combination of these things. IDK. But he's changed for now.

Vacant perm position at the moment.

Should be Kuz but it isn't yet....

Can be Caruso, Rondo, Dwight, even KCP based on the last 2-4 weeks and depending on the game.

I can't believe Lebron wasn't an option and that no one has mentioned him yet.

Kind of hard to tell. Because talent wise it's probably Green? He's the most reliable of all those guys to make shots or at least play solid D. But impact wise? It's tough IMO between caruso, bradley and dwight but I might have to say Dwight; without him they'd be hapless once AD/Javale sit.

[superduper]

The fact that Bran has 5 possible 3rd options on any given night speaks volumes in itself about how stacked the Lakers are.

[ImKobe]

3rd best overall player based on talent and age? It's easily Kuzma, but he started the year off with an injury so he hasn't been the 3rd most productive player. This is the RS so they're bringing him along slowly and giving him ~25 minutes a night and 6-12 shots but he'll be the x-factor come Playoff time when we need 2nd unit production from our bench against the Clippers/Rockets.

Right now it's Dwight, but it could be anyone from Green to Rondo to Howard to McGee, they've all had great stretches, that's the sign of a great team.

Is the jury still out?
