    I said it in the Vando thread but DFS shooting still allows you to play them together. That's an intriguing combo as defensive they can switch 4 to 5 spots plus they seem to get every loose ball out there

    Really hope Vando can shoot like he did last year before he got hurt. He's got small hands and gets knocked off when trying to finish inside so you can't use him like Denver does Gordon but man if he can shoot the jumper with confidence that opens everything up for the Lakers. Because he's good in transition and creating secondary possessions just need to a threat in slowed down half court sets

    Because of the concerns you expressed I still believe they need a big who can give them some offense when AD is sitting

    I know he was off, but props to the defense, they gave Steph hell in the final 24. Max and Gabe mostly, but also DFS and Vando.
