Medina believes that D’Angelo Russell will be the Lakers’ starting point-guard to start the 2023-24 regular season, but should he show any inconsistency in his play throughout the year, then his spot may be at risk with Gabe Vincent waiting in the wings for his opportunity.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT the journalist said…
“I think going into this season, he [D’Angelo Russell] probably has the advantage with keeping his starting spot. But as Darvin Ham, the Lakers coach, told me over the summer, outside of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, every starting spot is up for grabs.”
“So I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point Gabe Vincent gets the starting spot. Not permanently but at least on occasion in case D’Angelo Russell doesn’t play as well or consistently. But I think this is all really up to him with how consistent he can be as a player.”
