The Lakers might have the vast majority of the same personnel as last season, but the new year has brought optimism from fans based on the general conversation coming from players and the performance of the key rotation guys during training camp.
Through the opening week of the season, the Lakers are undefeated at 3-0, having beaten formidable Western Conference opponents like the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns.
JJ Redick's use of AD as the offensive hub has unlocked his potential. He's scored 30-plus points in all three games this season and looks like a way too early MVP candidate.
If the Lakers can maintain their improvements, they will help them crack the 50-win mark for the first time since the 2020 title year, after winning 47 games last season.
