"Lakers camp nears — and with it, questions about Kobe, Randle, Hibbert ..." by Mike Bresnahan from the La Times (September 27, 2015) analyzes how the roster will grow and adapt to the new season coming up as they get ready for their training camp. Kobe Bryant isn't fully ready for the new season as is going to take a lot of hard work for him to get better and retirement seems to be the last option if he worsens. D'Angelo Russell is barely getting to the NBA vibe and will take a year to be a custom to the NBA and as a starting point-guard he will have a tough time vs star guards but Jordan Clarkson is always their backup. Julius Randle after his recovering from injury hasn't been doing to well in the summer league because of his limited minutes preventing him to improve but Brandon Bass is always there to secure that forward spot. Roy Hibbert will finally get a step to build up his center/power forward career but won't reach all start status because of the PF/C competition in the Western Conference as well as the Lakers won't be able to win much games vs the talented Western Conference teams because of lack of a strong roster compared to the rest.
