This year, the Los Angeles Lakers are considered one of the most active teams in the market. They were desperately going through all the options available in the market. And since they have a bad past with roster construction, they did not want to rush things. However, their new additions D’Angelo Russell, Mike Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt, have all proven themselves. A patch of good players would definitely give the much-necessary push before the season ends. And it looks like the two Lakers superstars are very happy with the new arrivals.
Although all the blame for the team’s failure could not be put on Russell Westbrook, his departure did bring smoothness to the team. It has been a while since the Lakers have been playing with such exuberance on the court. The primary reason could be the availability of players who play their respective positions. Meanwhile, LeBron James and Anthony Davis drop some good words about newly arrived Vanderbilt. Keep reading to know more about his outstanding efforts last night to close in on the win.
The Lakers Superstars On Their New Power Forward
The Los Angeles Lakers did not just win their third game in a row but also made history in the process. Apparently, the Lakers are one of the first teams to come back into the game with a 27-point difference. Therefore the two Lakers’ superstars, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis, credited Jarred Vanderbilt for this success. They believe that Jarred’s effort on both ends of the court helped the Lakers close the gap and ultimately win. It was Jarred who sparked the comeback as the players trailing behind with 27 points lost hope.
Jarred’s contribution of 15 points and 17 rebounds is not enough to understand his impact on the game last night. It was his ferocious movement on the court that ignited the Lakers players to finally avenge the difference. “You can’t even put into words what he brings and does for us. Having a player like that definitely helps us.” Anthony Davis praised Vanderbilt after the game. It was Lakers Jarred who held Luka as one of the most efficient in the current scenario. However, no stat could justify his efforts on the wooden floor.
Even LeBron could not stop himself from talking about how intelligent Jarred was on the court. “His basketball IQ and his intelligence of being guarded this way for so long have actually used it to his advantage,” said LeBron James. According to James, other teams in the league were not considering Vanderbilt as a threat because of his poor 3-point shooting. However, the teams who were watching this game would take notes on his energy and effort, which could be lethal. Looking at the contribution that all the trade players are making, they were definitely worth it. And for the first time in a while, the front office could relax about their trade decisions.
