LA LAKERS

Ever since D'Angelo came back, it's clear the guy needs the ball in his hands more. This team sorely lacks playmaking and having him out there with Randle all the time is hampering this.

I love Julius but the guy has been a black hole on offense. His poor movement without the ball, lackluster screens and inability to shoot a jump shot keeps the ball stuck and the floor poorly spaced.

Larry plays better defense and will give the guards the screens they need to operate effectively. Also, starting Larry will make Julius a brutal bench player as he will be facing players on second units he can actually out-quick and bully which is the playing style he's going to be stuck on until a jumper develops.

At the end of the game, keep the guy out there with the better rhythm.
