   Lakers elite size and length is shutting down opposing teams' offenses. Redick's aggressive trapping, doubling, and rotating defense uses it's elite size, length, speed, athleticism, and physicality to punish teams that try to switch hunt weaker defenders.

   After trading a DPOY candidate in Anthony Davis, the Lakers defense… got better?

   🔹Before the trade: 112.7 points allowed
   🔹After the trade: 106.1 points allowed

   And the Lakers have a better defensive rating since they sent AD to Dallas in exchange for Luka Doncic.

   The Lakers' defense has been ELITE without Anthony Davis.

   According to NBA Stats, the Lakers' defensive rating in their last 15 games is 107.2, the best in the league.

   And somehow, this season, they've been thriving without AD as their defensive anchor, per @statmuse.

     When I saw Tre Jemison on the court, that was when I was convinced the Lakers have length and size needed to battle any team.
