Lakers Expected to Pivot to Savvy 39% 3-PT Sniper as Walker Kessler Backup

Walker Kessler will be the Los Angeles Lakers’ starting center for the upcoming season. A 7-footer could change things for the Lakers, and the franchise didn’t want to overcomplicate finding a backup for him. 

If it calls for the situation, one name that could play there is new addition Sandro Mamukelashvili. 

According to The Athletic Law Murray, Mamukelashvili is locked in as a solid rotation piece. However, given his deal, he may move to the center depth to gain more minutes. 

“The Lakers could start Mamukelashvili next to Kessler with that kind of contractual commitment, as he’d give the Lakers an intriguing inside-outside presence offensively,” Murray wrote. “Kevon Looney is the nominal backup center, but he fits better as the fourth or fifth big, leaving Mamukelashvili to absorb significant second-unit minutes at power forward and/or center.”

Sandro Mamukelashvili News: Starting Tuesday

Mamukelashvili will start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

The Lakers have seven players inactive for Tuesday's exhibition, so Mamukelashvili could see reasonable minutes. Joining him in the first unit will be Bronny James, Quentin Grimes, Jake LaRavia and Adou Thiero.
