Vogel’s vision to move toward a modern style of coaching that focuses on spacing, shooting, and analytics are a welcome sign for the Lakers. Despite being fired in his last coaching gig for the Orlando Magic, Vogel spoke with optimism about how his coaching style evolved during his days in Orlando.

Vogel’s comments about shifting the Lakers often tradtional style of basketball into one that will rely on data to influence spacing, passing, and defense on the basketball court should be lauded considering the fact the most successful teams in the NBA already have a similar style of approach.
