Some hints as to how the Lakers will play, Vogel says he isn’t quite ready to go into full detail yet, though he didn’t exactly pull punches when talking about the coach he’s replacing.
“The style of play is an important piece of this,” Vogel said. “I actually did not disagree with a lot of the things that Luke Walton did stylistically in terms of playing with pace, really attacking the basket and being the one of the leading free throws shooting teams. And they worked hard on the defensive end. But to me it was about putting LeBron James in positions to try to play with space the way Giannis Antetokounmpo did with Brook Lopez being added as a three-point shooter, with what Kawhi Leonard was able to have in Toronto with Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka at the center position.”
Jason Kidd is just waiting in the wings if Vogel doesn’t win right out of the gate.
Won’t be easy…
