Tony Snell

Finding his way with the Bucks this past season, Tony Snell is neither an All-Star nor a snub. He wasn’t the kind of player that made or broke the season in Milwaukee, but on a team like the Lakers he could be a big help.

Keeping the forward position young is another essential that the Lakers have to keep in mind. Los Angeles has Brandon Ingram and Julius Randle as the more likely youngsters to be cornerstones.

However, letting Metta World Peace walk and not-so-great seasons from Corey Brewer and Luol Deng will take their toll on the team.

Snell averaged 8.5 points per game with the Bucks. Milwaukee made it to the playoffs this time around, with their first round date with Toronto ending their season early. The former New Mexico star played three seasons with the Bulls before winding up in Milwaukee.

The Bucks could make the moves necessary to retain him, but that shouldn’t hinder the Lakers from being aggressive.
