#2 The support crew has been deeper than it looks on paper
Coach Frank Vogel has done a great job of distributing the load across the roster, and the role players have embraced their duties to perfection. The brilliance of the Lakers' support crew often gets overshadowed by their two star players, but they have been playing their part with utmost professionalism and sincerity on a nightly basis.
Players like Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo, JaVale McGee have brought in veteran stability to the team's secondary production unit, working in tandem with the relatively less experienced Kyle Kuzma, Alex Caruso, and Quinn Cook to build a healthy locker room environment. Moreover, Troy Daniels has been a reflection of how this bench lineup is contributing more than what they were initially supposed to.
Headlined by Dwight Howard's resurgence, the Lakers bench has been an ideal group for a franchise that is looking to win it all this year.
