Frank Vogel is happy with the adaptation of JR Smith and Dion Waiters to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The two veteran guards have not made their debut with the team yet. However, the head coach of the Lakers admits Smith and Waiters have already done a great job of fitting in the system.
“They both bring toughness and sway. Those guys are killers. They go after it with great competitive spirit, and they have the talent to back it up and be highly productive on the court. They’ve proven that throughout their careers.
They’re being asked to come into an already strong locker room where our chemistry has been a strength of ours this year and to fit in and contribute in a positive way.
Every time you introduce a new personality into your group, it can alter your chemistry. Their goal is to come in here and make sure if it’s altered that it’s altered in a positive way.
So far, both of those guys have had that mindset and have done a great job of fitting in and contributing with a positive attitude,” Vogel told reporters, via Ryan Ward of Clutchpoints.
