Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Could get fresh start
Knecht could receive a larger offensive opportunity following LeBron James' departure, as the Lakers have significant scoring to replace, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
However, the additions of Matisse Thybulle and Ziaire Williams provide more competition on the wing, while Sandro Mamukelashvili adds another rotation piece in the frontcourt. Knecht's ability to emerge as a reliable perimeter scorer should ultimately determine whether he can claim a larger role in 2026-27.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: May have larger path to minutes
Vanderbilt should continue to provide defensive value after LeBron James' exit from the Lakers, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Despite James' absence, the arrivals of Matisse Thybulle, Ziaire Williams and Sandro Mamukelashvili give the Lakers additional options on the wing and in the frontcourt. While Vanderbilt's rebounding and defensive versatility remain valuable, increased competition for minutes could make it difficult for him to carve out a reliable fantasy role.

Lakers' Jake LaRavia: Larger role incoming?
LaRavia could see an expanded role following LeBron James' departure, though the Lakers' additions of Matisse Thybulle, Ziaire Williams and Sandro Mamukelashvili should create added competition for frontcourt minutes, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
LaRavia's ability to defend multiple positions and contribute as a floor spacer should keep him in the rotation, but his fantasy upside may depend on whether he can maintain a consistent starting role. He appeared in all 82 regular-season games for the Lakers in 2025-26 with averages of 8.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists.

Lakers' Arthur Kaluma: Lands two-way deal with Lakers
Kaluma agreed to a two-way deal with the Lakers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Kaluma secured one of the Lakers' three two-way spots after an excellent run for the club in the California Classic and Las Vegas Summer Leagues. The second-year forward -- who spent all of last season in the G League with the South Bay Lakers -- appeared in seven games between the two summer leagues, averaging 17.3 points (on 55.1 percent shooting from the field), 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.7 assists in 22.9 minutes per contest. The Lakers already have Chris Manon, Peter Suder and AK Okereke committed to two-way deals, so one of the three will need to be waived in order to clear a spot for Kaluma.

Lakers' Matisse Thybulle: Agrees to sign with Lakers
Thybulle agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the Lakers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Thybulle spent parts of the last four years with the Trail Blazers, and he's now heading to the Lakers to bolster their depth on the wing. A midseason knee injury held the defensive-minded swingman to just 30 regular-season appearances last year, but he averaged a highly efficient 2.0 steals despite logging a career-low 16.0 minutes per game. Thybulle may not be trusted with a starting role in 2026-27, but he should handle a key role off the bench in the frontcourt.

Lakers' Cameron Carr: Scores 17 points in SL loss
Carr contributed 17 points (5-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes in Saturday's 92-88 loss to the Warriors in the Las Vegas Summer League Semifinals.
Carr's and the Lakers' Summer League run came to an end Saturday, and the rookie first-rounder struggled mightily with efficiency. Still, he finished as Los Angeles' second-leading scorer, posting at least 14 points for the fourth time in as many Las Vegas Summer League outings. During that span, Carr averaged 18.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists per contest. He's in line to compete for meaningful playing time off the bench in his rookie season.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Double-doubles in SL loss
Thiero finished Saturday's 92-88 Summer League loss to Golden State with 18 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals over 26 minutes.
It was an efficient performance from Thiero, who made all nine of his shots between the field and the charity stripe while leading the Lakers in points, rebounds and steals. It was Thiero's first double-double of the Summer League and his most points in a game since July 10 against the Thunder (20). The 2025 second-rounder averaged just 6.0 minutes per game across 25 regular-season games in his rookie year, but he'll have the opportunity to earn a larger, more consistent role for himself in training camp and in the preseason.

Lakers' Chris Manon: Paces team in scoring
Manon totaled 16 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 19 minutes during Thursday's 105-82 Summer League win over the Bulls.
Manon put together a polished shooting performance, joining Cameron Carr and Adou Thiero as the three starters to score in double figures. Manon put pen to paper on a two-way deal with LA earlier this month and appears destined to spend the majority of his time playing in the G League during the upcoming 2026-27 campaign.

Lakers' Cameron Carr: Adds 14 points in Summer League
Carr registered 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Thursday's 105-82 Summer League win over the Bulls.
Carr put together a decent effort offensively, and while he couldn't get a shot to fall from beyond the arc, his production from the field helped the Lakers to a 4-0 Summer League record. The rookie has been putting together an impressive showing thus far in Summer League play, and assuming the Lakers don't shut him down, he'll have additional opportunities to get run over the weekend.

Lakers' Chris Manon: Double-doubles in win
Manon compiled 17 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 99-85 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Clippers.
This was Manon's first double-double in Las Vegas, and he finished with a plus-5 differential in the win. Manon is on a two-way deal with the Lakers, so he'll likely spend the majority of the 2026-27 season in the G League.
