A key development in the Lakers recent success has been the play of the guys JJ Redick affectionately refers to as "banshees" who are flying around on defense and bringing a level of toughness and grit each and every game. Pete and Darius discuss these guys, first diving into the emergence of Jordan Goodwin and Trey Jemison as contributors on two-way contracts who are helping on both sides of the ball. And then later, the guys talk about Jarred Vanderbilt's defensive contributions and how he's finding a role on offense, Dorian Finney-Smith's ongoing strong play, and much more.
