When the Los Angeles Lakers hired head coach Frank Vogel, many were skeptical due to the nature in which he was hired.
Namely, when the Lakers whiffed on a former Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue deal due to the length of the contract. However, since that day, Vogel has been saying and doing all the right things, including making this Lakers team look like a true powerhouse through the 2019 NBA preseason.
Right when Vogel arrived, he preached figuring out a defensive identity before anything else and he figured out a lineup that he feels has the potential to be elite with Avery Bradley, Danny Green, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and JaVale McGee.
