Jarred vanderbilt

Vanderbilt is also imprinting his all-out style on the rest of the team. Lakers coach Darvin Ham calls him the team’s “Energizer Bunny.” Austin Reaves says he’s “the best defender in the NBA.” D’Angelo Russell, reunited with Vanderbilt after the two were teammates in Minnesota from 2020 to 2022, goes one step further.

Vanderbilt started against his former team but failed to score in just 22 minutes. Despite having carved out a nice role for himself in Los Angeles, Vanderbilt continues to sputter when it comes to consistency. He serves more as a defensive stopper, but his lack of offensive versatility means he often finds himself on the bench.

After finding postseason success once again this year, the Vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka stated he wanted to keep the team’s core together going forward. How much of that core is under contract and how many of the players will the Lakers have to potentially re-negotiate contracts with this summer? Here’s a look at each individual contract for the Lakers heading into the offseason. As a reminder heading into the offseason, the team can have 15 players on roster and, under the new CBA rules, three two-way players. LeBron James 2023-24 - $46,900,000 (full guaranteed) 2024-25 - $50,652,000 (player option) After seemingly flirting with the idea of retirement, it Whether that happens immediately or if he looks to do it later in his career is unclear but the end of his Lakers career feels like it is approaching rapidly. Anthony Davis 2023-2024 - $40,600,080 (fully guaranteed) 2024-2025 - $43,219,440 (early termination option) Davis refound his form in the playoffs and the future looks incredibly bright again. Again, though, the Lakers are heading into a summer next year in which both LeBron and AD could be free agents. Malik Beasley 2023-24 - $16,524,106 (team option) The Lakers have until June 29 to decide on Beasley’s option. Conveniently, that comes after the After being a total non-factor in the playoffs, it’ll be interesting whether the Lakers bring back Beasley next season. Mo Bamba 2023-24 - $10,300,000 (non-guaranteed) Identical to Beasley, the Laker...

Houston • Appropriate, for a guy nicknamed “V8.” He’s impressed teammates and coaches with his nonstop motor — haranguing opposing scorers, hustling after loose balls, keeping plays alive with an uncanny ability to tip the orange Wilson wherever needed, and snatching rebounds out of the air from seemingly everywhere. So many rebounds. “Oh man, you can just tell how hard he plays,” said Collin Sexton. “You can feel his energy and how bad we wants it.” “Vando, he’s a maniac, man,” added Mike Conley. “He’s all over the place.” “I wish that I could teach what Jarred does — his understanding of angles, his understanding of timing,” said Will Hardy. “… He’s a special talent rebounding the ball, he just has the eye for it and knows how to track it. Maybe I should have him in the coaches meetings more and we could try to teach it better.” The coach excitedly explain some of the subtleties and nuances of Vanderbilt’s game, notably the timing (“Sometimes he doesn’t sprint immediately on the release, he waits a second for his guy to turn and watch the ball”), and the angles (“He’s taken some different routes — sometimes he goes behind the backboard, sometimes he really curls towards the middle”). The man himself, meanwhile, said his process is actually pretty simple. “I would say just effort, man. Like, I’m physical. I like to hit people, and embrace contact,” Vanderbilt said. “And I’ve got a knack for the ball. I want it.” Monday’s 114-108 loss against the Rockets — the Jazz’s first...

Noah Graham/NBAE via Getty Images SAN FRANCISCO – After Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals Tuesday, Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt told teammate LeBron James in the Lakers locker room that Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry ran like a marathoner. If Curry ran that much, Vanderbilt wasn’t too far behind, as he was the main defender assigned to defend the Warriors’ legendary sharpshooter. “I was telling LeBron that I don’t know how much that [expletive] ran. Probably about 2 miles the whole time. I was like, ‘God dang,’ ” Vanderbilt said after the Lakers’ 117-112 victory in Game 1. Center Anthony Davis was the overwhelming star of the Lakers’ win at Chase Center with 30 points, 23 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks. Lost in the marvel at Davis’ big performance was the impact Vanderbilt had defensively on Curry. Curry averaged 33.7 points and 4.9 3-pointers made per game in the Warriors’ seven-game series against the Sacramento Kings in the first round. The NBA’s career leader in 3-pointers made scored an NBA Game 7-record 50 points in a 120-100 victory over the Kings on Sunday. The two-time NBA MVP is also widely regarded as the greatest shooter this game has seen. Related Story Gold...

That might sound silly, but it is what it is and is unlikely to change this summer. “None of the guards from Los Angeles’ playoff rotation are under contract for next season, so perhaps Pritchard peaks the purple and gold’s interest.” Krivitsky added that Vanderbilt’s a talented defender and passer but explained why his holes offensively could pose an issue. “But as talented and versatile a defender as Jarred Vanderbilt is, and he’s also a quality facilitator, his lack of shooting and inability to provide a boost offensively cut into his playing time in the postseason.” Krivitsky concluded by saying that Vanderbilt’s skillset doesn’t mesh with head coach Joe Mazzulla. “Given that Vanderbilt’s never averaged more than 1.3 three-point attempts in a season, he doesn’t mesh with Joe Mazzulla’s offensive philosophy, so if he gets rerouted, it’s doubtful it’s to Boston,” Krivitsky finished.

For a normal player, 27 points in a playoff game is considered a wildly successful night. But when a team holds Stephen Curry to that total — on 10-of-24 shooting with five turnovers, by the way — that's a big win. The Lakers were able to keep Curry in check and take Game 1 by a score of 117-112 thanks to a solid game plan. Jarred Vanderbilt got the primary assignment, and he did a tremendous job on Curry. MORE: Jarred Vanderbilt's job: Tire Stephen Curry out Vanderbilt is known for his defensive prowess. He's a lanky and athletic defender that will out-hustle everyone else on the floor. That's the perfect type of player to guard Curry, who gets many of his shots off movement when his defender falls asleep away from the ball. Vanderbilt was extremely on top of his assignment, shadowing Curry all over the court and denying him any opportunity to get an easy pass. Try only focusing on Jarred Vanderbilt's defense on Steph Curry during this vid. It covers every possession, starting at one timeout and ending at another. Vando was glued to Curry for 94 feet through the whole stretch until Curry checked out. Zero breaks. Not many players with Vanderbilt's 7-1 wingspan have the speed to keep up with Curry. The two-time MVP seemed surprised at times that Vanderbilt was able to get a piece of the ball. Once, Vanderbilt came from behind Curry to Vanderbilt was also aided by having Anthony Davis patrolling the paint behind him. Vanderbilt spent much of the game top-locking Curry, stay...

Vanderbilt's role is to do everything but score, mostly by defending and rebounding. When he attacks the offensive glass, Vanderbilt tends to draw at least a couple of fouls per game and there are times he has to head to the free-throw line. The results have been better there for Vanderbilt this season than last. Last season, Vanderbilt shot 56% from the line. That number improved to 83% entering Wednesday's game against Utah. "I put a lot of work in this summer, putting up hundreds of free throws a day," Vanderbilt said. "I didn't think it was form, just more so confidence and knowing when I go to the line, I'm going to make it. All that comes with reps." Vanderbilt said he practiced more free throws over the summer because he realized he wasn't shooting enough per day. He said last year he was a "foul-for-profit guy," meaning teams might have fouled him at strategic times hoping he would miss both attempts. He's going to the line less this year (1.3 times per game in 23 minutes per night compared with 1.6 in 17.8 minutes) because he's hitting more frequently, he said. "I do feel ...
