If the Los Angeles Lakers do not have any trading operations before the start of the 25-26 season, the starting lineup of the new season will be the same as that predicted by TA Lakers reporter Josh Buha: Doncic, Reeves, Hachimura, James, and Ayton. In fact, he changed the candidate for No. 5 and changed Hays to Ayton.

Recently, some American media predicted the average score of the Lakers' starting five Tigers in the 25-26 season: Luka Doncic (32.8 points), Austin Reeves (20.7 points), Hachimura Ai (11.6 points), LeBron James (22.9 points), DeAndre Aiton (13.3 points).

Hachimura Ai averaged 31.6 minutes in the Lakers last season, scoring 13.1 points, 5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.76 steals, 0.44 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 50.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 41.3%. With such efficient performance, has his average score still declined in the new season? Do you need to lower his attack?

Reeves averaged 20.2 points per game in the regular season, shooting percentage of 46% and three-point shooting percentage of 37%. He is the Lakers' third scoring point. His scoring forecast continues to rise in the new season, which means that his shooting proportion will not decrease.

James averaged 34.9 minutes per game last season, scored 24.4 points, a shooting percentage of 51.3%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.6%. James' scoring efficiency is already high enough, but it is understandable that he will be 41 years old in the new season. His scoring decline is a little bit.

Doncic averaged only 28.2 points per game in the Lakers last season, with a shooting percentage of 44%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 38%. He was still a fat man last season, and now he lost 32 pounds. His average score increased to 32.8 points to compete for the scoring champion and MVP.

Ayton averaged 14.4 points per game with a shooting percentage of 56.6%. He lacked the ability to shoot three-pointers but his mid-range shots were relatively stable. His prediction of the score in the new season has been reduced, indicating that Ayton's role is more to cover the pick-and-roll and attack the box.
