Lakers’ coach Frank Vogel says expect to see more of post up game

The first two trips down the court in their season opener, the Lakers ran a pick-and-roll to switch a guard — Patrick Beverley — onto LeBron James, then they threw the ball to LeBron in the post and let him go to work on the smaller player. While the post-up is out of fashion in the NBA because it's not efficient, the Lakers went to it early and often in the opener — and it worked fairly well. Expect to see a lot more of it, coach Frank Vogel told Dave McMenamin of ESPN, who had the stats to back up that it worked.
