Despite entering the season with much of the same roster for the first time in three seasons, Darvin Ham has struggled to find a starting lineup he feels comfortable rolling out night after night.

Entering the game against the Thunder on December 23, the Lakers had re-established themselves as one of the league’s best defenses — ranked eighth in the league — but had failed to live up to their talent on the other end with one of the game’s worst offenses, ranked 22nd. Instead of aiming for a more balanced approach, Ham inserted the staunch defending Jarred Vanderbilt into the starting group for D’Angelo Russell, who was coming off of a string of poor-shooting nights.

Explaining the move, Ham said, “The one thing we’ve been able to do consistently is play defense, starting from the trade deadline last year all the way up to this year being a top-10 defense.” Ham continued, stressing the essentiality of the team’s defense to its identity, saying, “We wanted to lean into what we’re doing well and allow that to be the foundation that spreads out to the rest of the segment of our game and how we can be productive.”

While the notion of leaning into the team’s greatest strength as a pillar of their identity may have some merit, unfortunately, ideology and vibes don’t contribute to the tally on the scoreboard. Ham’s altering has not only hamstrung their offense, but actually undermined what was working for them on defense. After 40 possessions across the two games with the Lakers’ new starters of LeBron, AD, Vando, Cam, and Prince, that group has a -17.0 net rating, scoring and defending at rates that each rank in the league’s bottom sixth.
