Lakers new season lineup forecast: 10-man rotation blueprint begins
7:42pm, 8 August 2025【Basketball】
On August 8, Lakers reporter Jovan Buha conducted an in-depth analysis of the team's lineup arrangement for the new season in the program, outlining a picture of the new season full of expectations for fans. According to his prediction, the Lakers will use a 10-man rotation lineup in the new season, with the starting five tigers being Ayton, James, Smart, Reeves and Doncic, while Hachimura, Laravia, Vincent, Vanderbilt and Hayes forming a substitute rotation lineup.
In terms of starting lineup, Ayton, as the inside pillar, is expected to average about 29 minutes per game. His presence will enhance the Lakers' interior height and defensive strength, providing strong guarantees for the team in rebounding and inside scoring.
James, this basketball legend, is still the core and soul of the team despite his age. He is expected to play for about 33 minutes, and with his extensive experience and comprehensive ability, he controls the rhythm of the game and leads the team forward.
Smart is good at defending and organizing. He is expected to play for about 28 minutes. He will put pressure on his opponents on the defensive end while sorting out the team's offense. As the team's rising star, Reeves is expected to play for about 35 minutes. He performed well last season and is expected to continue to grow in the new season and contribute stable scoring and organization to the team.
Doncic's arrival is undoubtedly a heavy signing for the Lakers. He is expected to play for about 36 minutes. With his super personal ability, he has become the core engine of the team's offense.
In the bench lineup, Hachimura is expected to play for about 26 minutes, and is a key figure on the bench. He has certain scoring and rebounding skills, and can carry the team's offensive banner when James or Doncic is off the court. Laravia is expected to play around 16 minutes, and as a young player, he will get some playing time to show his talent and potential. Vincent is expected to play around 15 minutes, and his three-point shooting ability can open up space for the team and provide outside fire support. Vanderbilt is expected to play around 12 minutes, and his defensive motivation and rebounding ability will provide a strong complement to the team's interior. Hayes expects to play for the least amount of playing time, about 10 minutes, and he can provide short defensive intensity and height in the interior when the team needs it. This prediction by
Jovan Buha shows the Lakers' careful planning of lineup matching and time allocation in the new season. The 10-man rotation lineup can not only ensure that the team always maintains strong competitiveness on the court, but also reasonably allocate players' physical strength and reduce the risk of injury. Of course, this is just a prediction based on the current situation. The actual lineup arrangement of the new season may be affected by various factors such as player injuries, status, and opponents' situation. But no matter what, the Lakers' lineup match for the new season undoubtedly makes fans look forward to it, and everyone can't wait to see the exciting performance of this brand new Lakers on the field.
