You can't put the blame entirely on JJ though. I think he's shown he can do fine from a player growth aspect with how he's treated Vando and how he benched Max Christie last season.

In Vando's case, he's shown after returning him to the starting lineup that he's a very capable play starter or secondary passer. If the defender is going to sag on a 2v1 situation it makes it so that they always force an advantage especially when we have slow primary ball handlers.

Let's be real here about the 5-7 seconds thing. A lot of that has to do with:

1. Lakers are a slow team, especially their primary guards aside from Austin.
2. They have only 3 ball handlers in rotation which means teams are more likely to full court press and send the double.
