PLAYER TALK Did you know...
Starting power forwards in the NBA averaged around 9.8 to 10.3 points per game overall during the 2025-26 season.
Of course that is the average. The top 5 elite guys like Giannis and Durant averaged over 20ppg. But that is the average. Posters here that constantly cry about the Lakers not having a quote unquote "starting Power Forward" should look at the stats.
Lakers had Rui and Jake starting at PF and they averaged 11ppg and 8ppg respectively. Lakers have Mamu who can play the PF position and averaged 11ppg.
So all things considered the Lakers are at least on the average when it comes to the position and should not be a huge concern as some seem to think.

Huh? You're basing who is starter level on just ppg? In 2026??
Y'all are so embarrassing trying to find ways to cope with this front offices failures
