Danny Green praised the Lakers\u2019 revamped roster but questioned whether their youth and inexperience could hurt them in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Former NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> Danny Green<\/a> gave his honest take on the new-look Lakers roster.<\/p>\n


\n \"Luka
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

\n Position
\n PG, SG\n <\/p>\n

\n Age
\n 27\n <\/p>\n

\n Height
\n 203 cm\n <\/p>\n

Green likes the new pieces they were able to bring around Luka Doncic, believing the Lakers will be a great regular-season team, although their youth and inexperience could hurt them in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

“I mean, at first I wasn’t sure where they were going the direction and then everything happened so fast. And I was like, ‘Damn, OK. This piece, that piece.’ And I liked a lot of the pieces they picked up,” Green said via Lakers Nation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I know they’re young, so not super experienced. I think they’re going to be a pretty good regular season team. Playoffs, I don’t know because of the youth and experience, but I like the moves they made, I like the pieces they have. They have more depth, they got younger and faster. They can get out and run a little more.”<\/p>\n

Danny Green names Lakers’ potential X-factors <\/p>\n

Green also pointed out some Lakers players who could make an immediate impact next season.<\/p>\n

“There’s a couple of people, man. Obviously we know what Austin and Luka can do and then you got a lot of heavy on Walker Kessler. But I’m looking at guys like the rook, Cameron Carr, but like Ziaire (Williams) and Mamu (Sandro Mamukelashvili),” he said.<\/p>\n

“Like those two guys, Collin Sexton, a defensive presence that could come off the bench or start, be a point guard for them. Those three guys, to me, can be X-factors for the group, like what Jake (LaRavia) was last year. Jake can still carry that over and be better, but I think those three guys are guys that I’m looking at that can probably make a jump and make this team dangerous, if they progress.”<\/p>\n
