The Kamenetzky Brothers open up the Locked On Lakers Mailbag. (Direct all questions to @KamBrothers on Twitter, kamenetzkybrothers@gmail.com, and on the iTunes show page.) First, from Will Powell (@willpowell_4): Who is most likely between Dennis Schröder, Montrezl Harrell and Kyle Kuzma to open the season with the Lakers? Could all of them stay? None of them? From there, Aniket Mohan (@Aniket_Mohan24) asks who'd they'd rather have for the last five minutes of a game: Anthony Davis or Giannis Antetokounmpo? Is one better as a closer? What are their respective shortcomings in this scenario?

Then, as part of their continuing coverage of the 2021 NBA Draft. they talked with Adam Chimeo, who covers University of Oregon sports for SB Nation's Addicted to Quack, about guard Chris Duarte. The senior can shoot the lights out, plays smart, and seems ready to contribute now. However, he's also near 24 years-old, and doesn't have incredible athleticism or projected upside. What are the pros and cons for Duarte? After the conversation with Chimeo, the Kamenetzkys talk about the importance of finding a player who can become a part of the Lakers' rotation, assuming they keep the pick.

Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
