Yall forget Vogel was playing Dudley, Troy Daniels and Cook for a combined 50 minutes in the first regular season game against the Clippers 2 years a go. Not preseason, but regular season.
It takes him time to organize a team, especially when the entire roster is brand new.
By Dec or Jan, he will have the team completely sorted. That's why the best Vogel Lakers team wasn't even bubble Lakers, it was the one that was a well oiled machine and beat the Celtics, Bucks and Clippers in the same week before the season locked down for covid.
Hard to orchestrate any real plan in a game so early, especially when you know in practice everything is running through Bron and Russ...both of whom who haven't played the actual games.
