Darvin Ham didn’t declare his starters in the absence of Anthony Davis just yet, but he did say that Jaxson Hayes will get some minutes, after Hayes had some active 4th Q minutes at Houston (9 points on 4 of 4 FG’s, 2 boards, 1 block, 1 steal).
The Lakers have a center ON THEIR TEAM that is a 17-20 PPG starting center in the league... we have THAT CENTER coming off the bench. His name is Christian Wood.
And Darvin Ham's STARTING LINEUP IDEA is to play Jaxson Hayes in front of him.
JUST KEEP IN MIND...
We have THIS GUY on the bench... The guy who we got in Free Agency just in case AD wasn't able to play some games...
This is who we have on our bench..
And Ham is SAYING... he is going to start Jaxson Hayes first.. in front of him...
That tells you EVERYTHING... you need to know about Darvin Ham.
I have no idea why Woods is not starting at the 5, and AD at the 4... his natural position

Cause we have Darvin Ham as the coach.
So what we'll see with the current lineup as no one is worried about the scoring of Hayes or Prince. We'll see iso attempts by Lebron, Reaves and DLO most likely. And when that runs out because we aren't running an organized offense where we force the defense to have to defend it will be a game of runs and essentially if we go cold it's going to become a route.
The Lakers are near undefeated when they run an organized offense for 55% of the game. Lineups like this make that near impossible. With Wood as an offensive threat you can spread the defense in different ways. All the defense expects from Hayes is a pick and roll dunk, and all they know about Prince is just to not leave him open and boom they got us defended and we gotta run 3 person iso with LeBron, DLO and Reaves. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Reaves needs to attack Trae Young all night like other players attack him.
Him settling for threes while in a slump is doing Trae favors. Bully him Reaves, it's what you're best at! _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Why is Hayes even in the game? He doesn't even rotate to defend the paint or box out on the glass. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant

He also doesn't notice people sneaking behind him to cherry pick on missed shots.
Prince does it too.

Cause Darvin Ham knew that starting Wood and Vando would be the right decision. So he did the opposite, because he never wants to do whats right. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Prince is a decent role player given the correct context. The problem is Ham overplaying and misusing him.
Agreed. What's funny is when Taurean started the season as a starter, Ham all but said that he was only doing it because Vando was unavailable. And now Ham can't start any other way. Lol _________________ Let's Go Pacers! #IWantToBelieve
