Vanderbilt looking like his old self

JJ Redick praised Jarred Vanderbilt’s progress, saying the forward finally looks like his pre-injury self. After a rough 2024-25 season following foot surgery, Vanderbilt’s energy and defense in camp have stood out alongside Marcus Smart.

If hustle plays were coupons, Vando would’ve already bought Staples Center twice.
