The Los Angeles Lakers are currently putting the finishing touches on their roster for the 2026-27 season after completely overhauling things this summer.
At the end of the game or in other big moments, it's usually the team's stars who have the ball. Sometimes, though, it's the role players who get the chance to shine and deliver.
