With training camp for the 2022-23 NBA season underway now, one of the questions surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers is who will be in their starting lineup.
The only true locks for a starting role have been LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the team’s two true superstars.
But the other three spots have seemingly been up for grabs.
Many have wondered if Russell Westbrook would continue to start, or if he would be moved to the bench for the good of the team, especially amid reports the team has been considering precisely that.
On media day on Monday, new head coach Darvin Ham said he hasn’t decided whether he will start Westbrook.
Darvin Ham says that he's still a "ways away" before deciding on a starting lineup and whether or not Westbrook will be in it.
"We have more than enough options that we're comfortable with."

The options Ham referred to include Westbrook, Kendrick Nunn, Patrick Beverley, Austin Reaves and Dennis Schroder.
Last season, there wasn’t much competition for both starting guard spots. Now, the competition could help everyone raise their respective games.
