The Los Angeles Lakers have yet to win a game this season, and their 0-3 record has been punctuated by a 3-point percentage that ranks last in the NBA as they search for answers.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania recently reported that the Lakers are high on Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier.

So far this season, “Scary Terry” has averaged 23.5 points and 8.5 assists. Further, the Louisville product has shot a respectable 40 percent from behind the arc.
The Lakers’ interest in the 28-year-old Rozier is amplified by the fact that Russell Westbrook has underachieved as a Laker. Westbrook is only averaging 10.3 points on the young season and shooting a putrid 8.3 percent from downtown.
The Lakers are expected to give the current roster a 20-25 game run before making a trade, according to the report, but their early shooting woes have seemingly increased their interest in the NBA market.
