The Lakers this season are in a very difficult moment, the team's core player Anthony Davis is in an injury, it is likely to rest for a long time, the team has also encountered a very serious quarantine tide, the team many people can not play. Although James and Westbrook were able to play, they played small lineups for a long time in the game, which also made them very struggling in the game and it was difficult to win!
For the Lakers, the reason why they use the small lineup is because of Davis's injury, the team has been wavering in the use of Jordan Jr. and Howard, especially for Howard's use, although he has a good effect on the court, but Vogel does not like to use him. Jordan Jr.'s playing effect is very limited, he is not good at both the offensive and defensive ends, it is difficult to bring too much change to the team!
The recent performance of a veteran in the league has given fans a very big surprise, that is, the Bucks' interior veteran Cousins. In the game against the Rockets, Cousins played 28 minutes, shooting 7-of-13 from the field, and had 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. Cousins also had a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds, and so far this season he has averaged 15.8 minutes per game, and he can get 7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists, which is still very good!
The Lakers actually have the opportunity to sign Cousins this season, but they did not make this decision, but signed Jordan Jr., but in fact, whether it is offense or defense, The role of Jordan Jr. may not be stronger than Cousins, especially on the offensive end, Cousins can do much more than Jordan Jr. If the Lakers had signed Cousins at the time, the team's lineup and tactics might have been richer, especially in such a tough situation!
So now for the Lakers, in the case that Davis can't play, the team really needs to use Howard more, since there is no regret medicine to eat, then it is necessary to find a best internal line in the team's lineup, Howard is the best choice!
