Jarred Vanderbilt vs Fox on an island Beats him to the spot at the elbow, flips the hips after Fox changes direction to stay in front, then swallows him up with size/length That’s tremendous agility at 6’8 with a 7+ wingspan

Nobody wants to say it, but I’ll speak for the silent majority The Lakers lost this game, in large part to missing FTs in regulation, but Lebron James was just flat out bad during critical parts of the game

Skylar Mays is a legit NBA player Peel switch on Jokic here and look at Mays box out and prevent him from getting position in the restricted area despite a 10inch/60pound deficit That’s winning hoops that gets no boxscore credit

Wanted to get a bigger sample to avoid confirmation bias, but through 3 games it’s fairly obvious what the Lakers miss the most
