The two years before that, he was at or near the top of their roster in every advanced analytics defensive stat, because his defensive positional versatility is exceptional, and his motor is never-ending.

Last playoffs was the worst that I've seen him look in the NBA tbh. I don't know if the recent death of his grandmother played a role in that performance... but I imagine the Lakers are betting that he'll return to what he was before that defensively.

And considering Harrell's one of the best PnR rim runners in the league, and Bron is a very difficult weapon to deal with him in the PnR himself? I really, really like the fit.
