This episode of the LN Breakdown, which will be the first in a series taking a look at potential future Lakers, will focus on the Washington guard and how he fits in Los Angeles.

Is he too similar to D’Angelo Russell in order to co-exist in the same backcourt? Are his defensive issues too big of a concern? And does fit even matter in a draft where the goal is to find a superstar? We discuss all that and more:
