One of the more popular subjects of the Los Angeles Lakers offseason has been the topic of the starting lineup. Primarily, that discussion has circulated around the fifth starter spot and whether Rui Hachimura or Marcus Smart gets to occupy that last position. The reporter asked both Hachimura and Smart about their roles when they were up on the podium. Off the bench with Los Angeles, Hachimura has posted 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game. If Smart does indeed relegate him to the bench, Hachimura should still be expected to be play large minutes off the bench in a Sixth Man role.
