At his best, Jarred Vanderbilt was a game-changer on the defensive end for the Los Angeles Lakers. The gains from that have already been on full display at Lakers training camp. If the defensive ace does not deliver, it is likely to result in his time in Los Angeles coming to an end. The Lakers reporter believed the opportunity for Vanderbilt to play a similar role to that of Derrick Jones Jr. beside Doncic was there. JJ Redick, himself, also understands that Vanderbilt was not put into the best position to succeed last season with the Lakers.
