1. Gabe Vincent, after non existed for last season and shooting horrendously for Oct and Nov, Gabe finally shooting great, 44.7% from 3 this month and 40% from 3 since December, with TS% of 64TS% this Feb.
2. Rui, ave 13pts/game this season with a a modest 62TS% registering higher rebs and APG than his career ave even as a 4th option/best player.
3. Hayes, 8.5 pts, 5 rebs for 24 mins/game this Feb.
4. DFS, 8pts, shooting 38% from 3 this February, actually shooting 41% from 3 this current season, playing great defense.

Yeah the collective effect of
Rui suddenly getting in stride
Gabe getting in stride
Hayes getting a bit better
Vando returning
And adding dfs
Just totally altered the chemistry to a dynamic defensive culture in this team.

You all watch the ball movement on the offense, extra passes etc not just from Luka/Bron but the entire team, It's a thing of beauty, I also noticed that Bron/Luka were setting plays up for the other guys a lot In the Utah game, Gabe, Rui, Hayes etc It was great to see.

today's game vs Utah should be good too.

Vando & Vincent impressing me,...!

I'd like to see Reddish, get some minutes, I never heard that he was hurt and don't know why he would be in the doghouse...

Most likely because of the trade, but also some coaches just don't like certain players etc.

Huh? Where did I say that I did not "know: them?

Maybe I misread the thread title (Props to players not named Luka and Lebron) but Vando had been out since last season and now that he is back the Lakers have been playing some great BB and Vincent "recently" has stepped it up and is killing with his 3's...

Cheers!
