The Los Angeles Lakers aim to strengthen their center position, particularly to complement Luka DonÄiÄ. Christian Koloko, who had a successful stint in the G League with impressive stats, is a potential fit. His two-way contract reflects the team's focus on internal development and synergy with their G League affiliate. Despite limited NBA minutes, Koloko showed promise as a lob threat and rim protector. The Lakers' playoff performance highlighted the absence of a capable center, emphasizing the need for an effective pick-and-roll partner to enhance their offensive capability and defensive stability.
With Jaxson Hayes completely falling out of favor by the end of the postseason and the only other big man being Alex Len, the Lakers lost any vertical spacing threat in the playoffs.
Koloko thrived in South Bay, averaging 14.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, and a whopping 3.1 blocks per game. He proved himself to be a top defender in the G League.
