The Los Angeles Lakers newcomer Marc Gasol is adjusting to a new situation that he’s in this season. It is the first time for the 36-year-old veteran that he is on a team with two superstars, one of which shares his position, but head coach Frank Vogel thinks the Spaniard is doing well.
“He’s with a new team in a unique situation playing with two big-time stars in Bron and AD,” Vogel said after the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves.
“The early part of the season he’s really just, to his credit, just trying to fit in in the minute he’s getting. We know we slide AD over to the five a lot late which leaves him out of the game.
So it has been difficult at certain times to really catch the rhythm but I think you’re going to see during this stretch of games that him and Trez are going to man the five position at a very very high level. I think they’re off to a great start tonight.”
This season, Gasol is averaging 4.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks in 20 minutes per game for the defending NBA champions.
