The Los Angeles Lakers have not been historically associated with the idea of average. Neither has LeBron James. The same goes for Luka Doncic. However, one NBA analyst thought that was the exact reality in which this year's roster finds itself.
"They're just an average team," Mo Dakhil said during an appearance on The Zach Lowe Show. "That's it. At the end of the day, they're just average, and that sucks. ... It's a frustrating run when you're watching this team."
Dakhil jumped to an immediate critique of Deandre Ayton and how much the signing has fallen short of what would be desirable.
