#2 LeBron James

Sacramento Kings v Los Angeles Lakers
King James has found his new home

Despite having an All-Round game, LeBron James holds a 27.2 PPG and 7.2 assists per game averages over his entire career.

His 27.2 career PPG average is the fourth highest in the NBA history, only behind Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor.

He also looks to be getting better with age. Last season was perhaps his best offensive season ever with averages of 27.5 Points, 8.6 Rebounds and 9.1 Assists on 54.2 FG%.

The young core of Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart promise a good supporting cast and the Lakers are bound to improve significantly over the previous year. But there are still doubts about who should be the second go-to scorer for the Lakers.

With the spotlight firmly upon him to bring back the glory days of the most glamorous franchise in the NBA history, LeBron James will take the responsibility to score a major chunk of his team's points.
