John Wall Urges Lakers to Remove Rui Hachimura From the Starting Lineup to Improve Defense

Wall understands that Hachimura brings the intangibles and a scoring punch, but he shouldn't be guarding the best player on the opposing team. "That's what you got a Marcus Smart or a Jarred Vanderbilt for. One of those guys need more minutes," Wall said. He highlighted that Smart and Vanderbilt will give the Lakers the hustle and effort plays needed.
