Lakers Interested In Festus Ezeli?
- Updated: May 6, 2016
According to Sean Deveney of Sporting News the Los Angeles Lakers could be interested in making a run at Golden State Warriors center Festus Ezeli in free agency this summer.
Below is an excerpt from Deveney’s article. You can read the full article here.
“The Lakers, a source said, will have interest in Ezeli, seeing his size and rim-protecting defense as an ideal complement to forward Julius Randle. L.A., of course, just hired Warriors assistant Luke Walton to be its coach.”
With Walton has the new head coach of Lakers it would make sense that the Lakers take a look at Ezeli giving the fact that they have a hole at the center position. Ezeli played some of his best basketball when Walton was at the helm leading the Warriors to a 39-4 record.
Ezeli has had some injury issues throughout his career including this year when he underwent surgery on his left knee. This summer Golden State will have to make decisions on many of the players on their roster like Harrison Barnes for example that Ezeli might be the odd man out.
