At this stage of the Lakers' game, their roster rotation has basically been decided. At the moment, even they have plenty of personnel in the rotation, because Christie has been very good lately, he is also in the starting lineup, and he is the focus of the team's development, so his playing time at this point is guaranteed.
And Finney Smith has also performed very well since he came to the Lakers, so he will also determine a rotation spot. So now the Lakers' overall rotation is very sufficient, and even Milton, who was traded with Finney Smith, has not played time in the last game. The Lakers are now in a labor trouble, and it's a sweet one, and there's another defensive stalwart coming back, and that's Vanderbilt. How to put him in rotation is also a tricky one.
Vanderbilt is a very good defender at the forward position, and he will definitely get some playing time, so the Lakers may have to consider taking away one person's playing time, because the Lakers' rotation is too large these days. Many fans believe that the most likely to be taken out of playing time is Vincent. Because Vincent also doesn't have a consistent projection ability on the court, and he doesn't have the ability to defend some tall players on the defensive end. Vanderbilt can not only defend defenders, but also defend some tall forwards and even top up some centers.
The Lakers must establish a defense-oriented tone at all times, because the Lakers are the best team to play defensive counterattacks, because they have James in their lineup, and the reason why the Lakers won the championship that year is also because their defense is the first in the league and they play a lot of defensive counterattacks. So the players who defend well must get more chances in the future. I wonder what the fans think?
