Were Does Luka Dončić Rank Among the NBA's Best? LeBron James? Austin Reaves?

It's summertime, which makes it Rankin' Seazin! And here at the Locked On Network, we're celebrating big. The NBA channel will soon be rolling out its Top 100. 

So where does Luka Dončić rank on the list? What about LeBron James? Austin Reaves? Do any other Lakers crack the top 100 players in the league? And more importantly, what does it mean to have guys on the list? Is there a big difference between 3 and 10? 10 and 20? What about 50 and 75? How many players do the Lakers have right now that can be reasonably considered to be in the top half of the league? 

Next, listeners react to Thursday's show focused on where Reaves fits, or should fit, into the team's future. Needless to say, among the folks actively commenting on the YouTube page, it was not universal love for AR. So do they have a point? Is Reaves overrated by the national and local media? Or is there a strain of Lakers fans who ... just kinda don't like him for one reason or another? What do the rankings indicate about how people might want to think about Reaves and his value, especially as he comes up for a new contract? 

Finally, Deandre Ayton gets to participate in a rite of passage for new Lakers... throwing out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium! 

 

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
