## Resource

Pete and Darius continue their season preview discussions by diving into the Lakers defense, debating whether the team is being underrated on that end of the floor, how Walker Kessler and other offseason additions can have a huge impact on the team’s defensive floor, what schemes they expect the Lakers to play, the tradeoffs they’ve made between speed and strength, and much more. .
