The Lakers face challenges in improving their center play, leading to a focus on alternatives like Goga Bitadze, who has shown promise with the Orlando Magic. The article discusses the two potential strategies: acquiring a starting caliber big or taking a center-by-committee approach to enhance depth and flexibility. Bitadze's performance indicates he could fulfill several needs for the Lakers, especially in areas such as rim protection and rebounding, which are essential for their game strategy moving forward.
If the Lakers do opt for the depth route, they should view the center position from a skill-tree perspective rather than targeting individual talent.
Bitadze has quietly emerged as one of the best under-the-radar bigs in the NBA thanks to his hard-nosed play and impressive data.
