LeBron James continues to defy age with his remarkable performance at 40, but how will the Los Angeles Lakers manage his injury risks this NBA season? This episode of Josh Lloyd's 2024/25 NBA Fantasy Basketball Draft Kit scrutinises ESPN's coverage bias towards big market teams like the Lakers, potentially overshadowing more insightful basketball analysis. Anthony Davis emerges as a top fantasy pick, despite his injury history, thanks to his stellar last season. Meanwhile, Austin Reaves' development could be pivotal, especially if LeBron or Davis miss time. The Lakers' roster construction raises questions about their depth and competitiveness, given their lack of significant offseason moves.

Join Josh Lloyd as he breaks down these critical elements, offering insights into the Lakers' strategy and player potential. Don't miss out on this comprehensive analysis—watch or listen now to gain an edge in your NBA Fantasy Basketball strategy!
