Los Angeles Lakers newcomer Lawson Lovering has characterized himself as a player willing to do the "dirty work" on the court, according to a report from Lakers Wire. The center, who recently joined the franchise, made the self-assessment in comments reported Thursday by Robert Marvi.
Lovering's arrival adds depth to the Lakers' frontcourt rotation. His willingness to handle the less glamorous aspects of the game — rebounding, screening, interior defense — could provide the team with a specific skill set off the bench.
The Lakers continue to shape their roster ahead of the upcoming season, with Lovering representing one of the newer additions to the center position.
