The inside is the first choice, what are the players suitable for the Lakers

The Lakers were completely defeated by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs, and the offseason signings also made the inside the first choice. Which players in the league currently have both salary and ability in line with the Lakers?

The fifth Magic team's inside player Carter Jr. Carter Jr. averaged 10.2 points and 10.8 rebounds per game in the first round of five games, which is suitable for eating cakes and defense, but has a poor sense of space and rhythm. Middle-class salary is suitable for the Lakers.

The fourth inside Nets Clarkston. Clarkston did not gain the trust of the Nets coach this season. During the regular season, he averaged only 26.8 minutes of playing time, averaged 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. He has 3 years and $70 million left in the contract. He is a good player and can switch unlimited defenses.

The third Jazz inside Kessler, who played 58 games for the Jazz this season, averaged 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. Kessler has poor mid-range and long-range shooting ability, and his main offensive methods come from eating cakes. He has a strong body and excellent frame protection ability. The contract next season will be $4.88 million for the rookie contract year.

Pelter, the second inside player, played 57 games for the Raptors this season, and averaged 14.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. He has excellent independent offensive ability, and his main scoring methods come from mid-range shots and endings at the basket. His defensive ability is average and suitable for James and Doncic. He is a semi-space inside.

The first place is the Pacers inside Turner. Turner will become a free agent in the offseason. The Pacers have entered the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Turner averaged 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in the first round of five-game series. The three-point shooting ability reached 37.5%. He is a space-type insider who can create breakthrough space for James and Doncic.
