Believe it or not, that was one of the first times this year LA has run stack with DLo at the helm.
That was THE item LA switched last season that unlocked him and got things cooking vs drop.

Redick Ran Same Sets That Helped DLO Take Off Last Season

DLO personally scored as many points last night as the entire bench averaged the first 8 games. His scoring and playmaking are perfect for the Lakers bench. If Dalton Knecht hit 3 threes instead of missing all of his takes, the Lakers might have broken 40 bench points, which is what they need to produce to be a top-10 bench team.
I have said for the last 2-3 years that LBJ should be a shooting guard, but we don’t have enough to put him there. Too bad. Let’s give him the looks that he gives everybody else.
With DLO going to the bench, LBJ actually ends up playing a lot more point guard, which is good for the starting lineup. Bench definitely benefits from DLO’s playmaking and scoring. Trade for Kessler, start him, move Rui to bench alongside DLO. That’s move Pelinka needs to make.
Sure be nice if LBJ was 2 Shooting Guard and save him, but I know he a great PG!
