Los Angeles Lakers: Three role players that will have a bigger impact

The Los Angeles Lakers quickly filled out a roster full of role players once Kawhi Leonard signed elsewhere and now boast a pretty deep roster.

The Los Angeles Lakers may be driven by the superstar duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis but the role players on the roster are just as important to the team. As we see every year, when the going gets tough in the playoffs it can be the role players that make the biggest difference.

This is especially true considering that there is so much talent in the league right now and there arguably are more stars than ever before. The superstars are what carries a team to that position, it is the role players that need to come up big once they are there.

The Los Angeles Lakers were able to bring in some notable role players once Kawhi Leonard signed with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Lakers were able to use the $32 million in cap space.

Some are returning players from last year, others are completely new to the team. Some will be great, others might not have much of an impact.

We already wrote an article about the three Laker role players that are either going to be really good or really bad next year with no real in between. To follow that article up, we are going to bring you the three Los Angeles Lakers role players that will undoubtedly have a bigger impact than expected in 2019.
