Lakers forward shows new offensive spark

Jarred Vanderbilt, known for his defense, is getting noticed for his improved shooting. Jake LaRavia, once among the opponents who didn’t respect Vanderbilt’s jumper, now says the shot looks sharp and is going in. If he clears 30% from deep, his minutes rise.

And honestly, if Vanderbilt keeps hitting threes, opponents might start guarding him like he’s accidentally borrowed Steph Curry’s shooting arm.
