What happened
The Lakers’ confidence in Adou Thiero appears intact entering his second season, even after injuries kept him from being fully integrated as a rookie. Dan Woike said Los Angeles views him as a ceiling-raiser and one of the team’s best athletes, with preseason playing time backing
that belief, and he added that Thiero has looked more controlled and impactful while healthy this preseason. Woike said it seems likely Thiero will get a chance once the season begins, though the article stops short of naming a fixed role or lineup spot.
This could affect the wing rotation because Thiero offers a different athletic profile than most of the Lakers’ other wings. His exact minutes remain unclear, and the team has not confirmed how he fits once the season starts.
