Lakers summer player goals: Jarred Vanderbilt

Jarred Vanderbilt became a fan favorite shortly after coming to the Lakers, but improving in these three areas would make him more valuable.

Training camp for the 2023-24 NBA season is slowly but surely approaching. While there is plenty of time before it begins, it’s time for players to ramp up their training and preparation.

That’s especially true for the Los Angeles Lakers, who are hoping to win their 18th world championship next summer. They magically remade what was a broken roster in January and February, and they’re aiming for the sky rather than just trying to tread water.

Jarred Vanderbilt was one of the key midseason acquisitions that turned L.A.’s season around. His defensive versatility help make the team a title contender, but he has plenty of room for improvement and should pursue these three goals.
