True, but his streakiness works for the starting unit. Nobody wants vlad going off (which he can do at any time), so they have to pay attention to him. On the bench, he'd kill the defensive pressure and is not as good in an up and down game. Basically he plays a bench role as a starter, and Ariza does the opposite. Works well for both guys.


Not really. Vlad brings one thing and thats shooting. He can't come off the bench the coaches would have no idea what he would bring that night so they like to establish if he's going to worthless the rest of the game or not. Otherwise Vlad just becomes 6 million dollar statue sitting next to Luke.

Eventually, assuming he gets resigned that Ariza's spot and he should be getting 30-35 min a game. Vlad doesn't really have a future on the Lakers after his contract is up.

I think you missed my point. His ability to get hot as a shooter forces defenses to respect him, which helps the first unit's spacing.
