Per @BrettSiegelNBA, in his latest intel report, Jalen Smith was listed as a sensible option for the Lakers to acquire as a backup big. I couldn't agree more! Playing on a $9.0M contract, Smith’s projected value reaches $18.3M. Smith erupted into the 97th percentile in offensive efficiency per possession driving a dominant +13.1 team differential. Combine that with his 90th percentile defensive rebounding, and he is the exact physical, athletic player L.A. needs to have as a backup big beside Mamukelashvili. Can also play as a PF. I linked the article below if you want to read the full piece and 3 other alternatives.
