While the Lakers trail, the two players that are showing Ham they should start

The Los Angeles Lakers have lost for the second game in a row, and a lot had to do with coach Darvin Ham's starting lineup, bad game planning, lack of adjustments, and some underperformances.

While LeBron James and Austin Reaves were the best players in the starting lineup, as James scored 20 points Reaves 28, Prince, Hayes, and D'Lo weren't up to the task as they scored 22 points combined.

Darvin Ham shocked everyone by having Jaxson Hayes in the starting lineup instead of Christian Wood, who has been the center with the most minutes between the two of them, but two players came off the bench that are showing LA's head coach they should start over Prince and Hayes.

Rui Hachimura scored 16 points, Jarred Vanderbilt 12 points, still, they had coming-off-the-bench roles and less playing time, yet, they were better and have shown Ham in what he keeps getting it wrong. The locker room seems to be a loss for Darvin.

The Lakers are a disaster and coach Darvin Ham is the one to blame

After the Hawks got a dunk to push their lead to 17 early in the third quarter, the Lakers called timeout and a couple of L.A.'s players are showing Jaxson Hayes the proper defensive positioning of where he should be protecting the paint. Coach Darvin Ham started Hayes who hasn't seen significant minutes for a long stretch of the season.
