The Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said one of the reasons the Lakers started forward Stanley Johnson (10 points, three rebounds) against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night was his footspeed to double-team Damian Lillard. Starting lineups, for the time being, will be a night-to-night thing without big man Anthony Davis in the lineup. Vogel adds on Stanley Johnson: “He’s not just a quicker guy, but he’s strong as hell, too.”
