3 Reasons why LA Lakers' preseason losses shouldn't worry the franchise

#2 The newly added youngsters carry championship pedigree and mentality.

Nunn and Monk are bonafide game-winners in their regard.

LA Lakers' marquee forward Anthony Davis still can't wrap his head around the fact that they could land such a lethal scorer in former Hornet Malik Monk. Coupled with Kendrick Nunn, they make for ball-handling skillsets and scoring levels that the LA Lakers haven't enjoyed for a long time.

Both can create their own shot off the dribble and have shot over 38% from downtown in their recent previous seasons. Their handling and ball control make them a consistent drive threat for defenses as they possess the frame and athleticism to finish with contact.

Add the dynamic defense and three-ball of Austin Reaves to the mix, and the LA Lakers have for themselves an exciting spark off the bench for different on-court matchups. Such contributions and confidence will come in handy when players miss time due to injuries down the stretch.

The LA Lakers have at their disposal young stars who can turn the game on its head if the stars are not clocking in, which is exactly what's needed to lead a deep postseason run.

#3 The chemistry between the LA Lakers vets is apparent and exciting to watch.

The LeBron-Brodie connection just cannot be ignored.

When casuals thought the mid-range was near extinction, players like Carmelo Anthony, LaMarcus Aldridge and Anthony Davis came to the rescue. Although it might sound superfluous, but this is what great players do. They make it work, regardless of the narrative.

Russell Westbrook and LeBron James are both ball-dominating guards, but the preseason showed that they're both willing to make the sacrificial pass to make a better play if possible. The collective goal towards striving for an NBA championship seems to have transcended any personal egos, and has resulted in a fluid chemistry between veterans.

Not only is the LA Lakers' locker room environment conducive to growth and player development, the team and coaching staff are open to making situational changes to the rotations in order to win. Vets like Carmelo Anthony, Wayne Ellington, Rajon Rondo and Dwight Howard are all always willing to take a step back and adapt to adjustments.
