"Oh, yeah, I'm pretty eager,"
"I mean, obviously, I think a lot of the stuff we lack, I think I can help provide on that end."
"Controlling what I can control. Keep showing up to work, doing my part, supporting the team."
The Lakers rank poorly defensively, sitting 18th in points allowed, 22nd in defensive field-goal percentage and 27th in three-point defense. Austin Reaves will be out approximately a week with a mild left calf strain, creating an immediate opening in the rotation. Jarred Vanderbilt, a 6-foot-8 defender, is eager to return and believes he can provide the defensive traits the team lacks. Vanderbilt has seen minimal minutes recently, appearing just three minutes in the last 10 games. Offensive limitations and LeBron James' return contributed to Vanderbilt being out of the rotation while the team won.
