Lakers are going all-in on the tankjob. They are benching their two best young players (Russell and Randle) today in favor of Lou Williams and Larry Nance.
They just aren't very good and aren't winning games WITH them, so they're changing things up to see if they can win some games. I would say a better tank job would be to keep them in the starting lineup and have them keep losing.
The Lakers young "prospects" are looking pretty flawed
Randle...no d player who looks for his shot all the time
Russell...lack of athleticism at this level looks like a major red flag in terms of upside
Clarkson...a gunner who has no court vision and last year looks like a mirage of a typical bad player hoisting up a lot of bad shots which equals inflated stat totals
