There is a lot of talk of the Lakers trying to sign a third superstar to go along with LeBron James and the incoming Anthony Davis. But is it really necessary for them to have a formidable Big 3?
Free agency is looming, Lakers Nation, and many are hoping that the Lakers sign an established star or superstar like Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker or Jimmy Butler. While doing so and filling out the rest of the team with solid role players would definitely make the Lakers a powerhouse, the desire to do so is overlooking an important fact.
With Anthony Davis set to join LeBron James and Kyle Kuzma, the team may already have their three legit stars.
Granted, Kuzma is not a star yet. But when looking at the history of Big 3s in the NBA, the third guy hasn’t necessarily been a true superstar. Kevin Love, Chris Bosh, James Worthy and Robert Parish certainly weren’t, and Ray Allen probably wasn’t either.
Kuzma is still a very young player and has the potential to grow as a player. As we have seen the last two seasons, Kuzma is not afraid to score. However, rounding out his game will be the next step in his development.
By the way, the word “superstar” is thrown around too loosely in the NBA. There’s only a handful of true superstars in the league at any given time, and even nowadays, that number is less than 10.
How might James, Davis and Kuzma already comprise an intimidating Big 3? Let’s count the ways:
