Dub Nation knew Juan Toscano-Anderson's tenure with the Warriors was likely over, but it became official shortly after the NBA's free agency period began.

Quickly becoming a fan favorite as an energetic two-way player off the bench for Golden State last season, Toscano-Anderson's rise to NBA lightening rod earned him a spot in the 2022 dunk contest. Toscano-Anderson spent the first three years of his career with Golden State and won his first NBA championship with his hometown team this past season.

Now Juan Toscano-Anderson joins the Lakers, a highly predictable outcome once the Warriors declined to extend a qualifying offer. JTA should compete for minutes with Wenyen Gabriel and Stanley Johnson in the Lakers’ backup wing rotation, and honestly, he’s better than those guys. One month later he was on the opening night roster for Santa Cruz, and 15 months later he signed a three-year contract with the Warriors, and two years after that, he was an NBA champion. He didn’t light it up as a scorer, but his energy and defense were invaluable, plus he filled up the stat sheet with assists and rebounds instead, even though he was often playing power forward at 6’6”. He did finish second in the Slam Dunk Contest, the best showing by a Warrior since Jason Richardson. But JTA wasn’t just an inspirational story; he was a huge part of the team, particularly in the 2020-21 season.

The Lakers have reportedly signed Juan Toscano-Anderson fresh off of winning a championship with the Golden State Warriors.

However, his exact role in the purple and gold remains unclear with so many new players at his position set to join the Lakers this coming season. Listed at 6’6’’, Toscano-Anderson should be able to provide the Lakers with some much-needed depth at the wing. He had an increased role in the 2020-21 season, starting 16 of his 53 games. They first made moves in that direction by reportedly agreeing to deals with Damian Jones, Lonnie Walker IV, and Troy Brown, Jr. However, that season was largely unsuccessful for the Warriors as they missed the playoffs after falling to the Lakers and then the Grizzlies in the Western Conference play-in tournament. Over those three seasons, he averaged 4.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.7 steals per game.

With Lonnie Walker likely taking priority in Darvin Ham’s projected rotation, it’s hard to see how Toscano-Anderson can make an impact on the court consistently. He does bring some championship experience and will definitely be able to bring along some of the younger guys on the Lakers like Austin Reaves, Talen Horton-Tucker, Walker and rookie Max Christie. If those guys develop good habits, Toscano-Anderson likely has a hand in why. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of role Toscano-Anderson has with the Lakers, as he’s likely going to be a backup for wing minutes.
