    Vando should have never been taken out of the rotation in the 1st place

    Seems to have had a more effective play response from him on offense. Scoring randomly a little more in different ways than only from 3s in the corner where he'll never be respected, even if shooting close to 40% on just a few a game, and screens and passing? The D and rebounding has always been good.

    You have to believe in your core guys and let them play through some things. JJ had no problems doing that with Gabe

    Vando should not have been DNP’d when we had guys injured and JJ insisted on some 8-9 man rotation BS. That was dumb when the thing we were missing was defense.

    Anyway props to Vando for staying ready and for playing well ever since he’s been back in the rotation. He really should get 15 minutes a game in the regular season. I could see cutting some minutes in the playoffs but we have a ton of games to get through before that and we need his energy.

    It’s useful having someone watch over Luka and make sure he doesn’t pick up that 16th tech for no reason. We need him in the run up to the playoffs.

    I really like Vando. It’s a shame he just doesn’t have one solid offensive talent. If he could be a lob threat or a corner specialist, he’d be getting game time.

    I'd rather watch him than Laravia at this point

    I thought LaRavia had a solid night tonight. Probably his best game in a little while. It doesn't scream out on the box score, but he had a few steals, 6 points and a rebound in the second quarter when the team was struggling.

    And then in his second run he got a few offensive rebounds and a steal when we couldn't score. Those were valuable possessions he got us.

    I’d like to see Vando get some more burn.

    Except the lakers couldn't score when he was in. Offense completely stalled out
