Kobe Bryant could be reinvented as a forward next season, according to Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott.

Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott has admitted that star player Kobe Bryant could move to power forward next season.

The 36-year-old has spent his entire career at shooting guard, but Scott revealed that he may have to rejiggle his offence in order to create a perfect blend.

He told the NBA website: "If we don't get another guard, then Kobe's in that mix. I'm kind of going through those scenarios. But not necessarily as far as who's starting and who doesn't. I think [Bryant] will play more three than two. If we can get him at the elbows and at the mid-post, the more effective he'll be.

"I don't think he needs to be using up the whole 94-foot floor. If we can cut that down some, I think that saves his legs as much as possible. But if we can get him where he operates best, which to me is elbows on each area, top of the key, at the pinch post, at the mid-post, then I think he can be real effective for us."

Bryant is a five-time NBA champion.
