His potential is enticing many fans.

More fans broke down the pros and the cons of the move.

The former Jazz and Timberwolves forward is a defensive specialist that has already had big moments for the Lakers in locking down the likes of Luka Doncic and Devin Booker to help the Lakers win games. He doesn’t stuff the box score, averaging 7.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.2 steals in the regular season.


Can The Lakers Further Develop Jarred Vanderbilt?

The Lakers coaching staff should be appreciated for how it develops its talent. There are plenty of solid players that the Lakers have developed in recent years like Alex Caruso, Austin Reaves, and even Kyle Kuzma. Vando has great physical attributes and his perimeter defense is already among the best forwards in the NBA.

He’s working earnestly on developing a jumper and takes at least one 3-pointer every game, averaging 1.3 attempts on the season. This development will not happen overnight, but the Lakers will benefit whenever Vando puts it together. Hopefully, they don’t end up panic-trading g the 24-year-old if this year’s playoff run fails to be significant.

The Lakers will face the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs, a team Vanderbilt faced last season as well as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
