Jake LaRavia - Auditioning for starting role LaRavia registered nine points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 124-98 preseason loss to the Warrior...

Impact The Lakers sat several key contributors for the second half of this back-to-back set, allowing LaRavia to draw the start Tuesday. LaRavia is contending with Matisse Thybulle for the team's final starting position, a battle that remains worth watching throughout the rest of training camp.

Impact After coming over from Washington this past summer, Hardy is trying to make a case for a bench role with the Lakers. The combo guard looks to be quite lost in the shuffle, but Hardy could inch his way up the depth chart once Los Angeles begins to trim its roster down.

Adou Thiero - Scores seven points in loss Thiero tallied seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and four rebounds across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 loss to the Warriors.

Impact After an encouraging Summer League campaign, coach JJ Redick intends to give the 6-8 Arkansas product every opportunity to be a key support piece for the Lakers this season. Unlike other spots in LA's rotation, Thiero's position is a bit more wide open, with Matisse Thybulle, Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt all competing for time. Although he shouldn't be considered a viable fantasy option right now, he has the potential to be a bigger contributor.

Dalton Knecht - Logs 11 points in defeat Knecht registered 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), a rebound and an assist across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 124-98 preseason loss to the Lakers.

Impact It's becoming increasingly apparent that Knecht's days with the Lakers could be numbered, as almost all of the team's offseason acquisitions seem designed without him in mind. Unless the team radically changes its rotation plans, Knecht will be buried even deeper on the depth chart this season, rendering him a non-option in all fantasy formats.

Quentin Grimes - Posts 12 points in starting role Grimes logged 12 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three assists, a rebound and a steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Grimes is in an interesting spot after coming over from Philadelphia, as the starting wing spot seems ripe for the taking. Putting Grimes there would put the Lakers at a height disadvantage against most teams, which is why rookie Cameron Carr will immediately enter the conversation at the position. Los Angeles' lineup scheme is unique, with Luka Doncic assuming a multi-pronged role in the offense, and while pairing Grimes and Austin Reaves with the All-Star isn't entirely unreasonable, there's no question that it's the Lakers' most uncertain position heading into the regular season.

Sandro Mamukelashvili - Scores 15 points with three triples Mamukelashvili produced 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block over 18 minutes in Tuesday's 124-98 preseason loss to the Warriors.

Impact Luka Doncic (rest) and Austin Reaves (ankle) were inactive for Tuesday's exhibition, so Mamukelashvili got all the shots he wanted on offense. It'll be interesting to see how he fits in the rotation in Los Angeles, but if he's able to secure a 25-plus-minute role, he could have some value as a three-point specialist.

Adou Thiero - Starting vs. Golden State Thiero is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Lakers are playing on the second leg of a back-to-back preseason set, so there's no reason to rest most of their starters. Thiero is vying for a spot in the frontcourt rotation, so he'll aim to make the most of this opportunity.
