Lakers SCOUTING REPORT: Walker Kessler, Quentin Grimes, Collin Sexton! GOOD FITS?

The Lakers have a LOT of new faces this coming season, with a rotation that's been radically overhauled. For better or worse? That remains to be seen, but were it to become a notable upgrade from 2025-26, it would mean that Quentin Grimes, Collin Sexton, and especially Walker Kessler not just performed to expectations as new Lakers, but at least one (if not all of them) exceeded them. With that in mind, what are the biggest strengths and weaknesses of the new guys? What do they bring to the table as players, competitors, and people? To break it all down, Andy Kamenetzky is joined by Tony Jones (@tjonesonthenba), who has a unique (and extremely useful, for these purposes) beat covering both the Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76ers. This makes Jones highly familiar with Kessler, Grimes, and Sexton, and he was kind enough to share some intel.
