Lakers coach JJ Redick surprised many by putting Mattise Thybulle and Ziaire Williams in the starting lineup, but so far it's worked out.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick's surprise decision to start Matisse Thybulle and Ziaire Williams has propelled the team to a 3-0 start. Despite Quentin Grimes and Jake LaRavia being widely projected as the starting forwards, Redick inserted both new additions alongside Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and Walker Kessler. The move has contributed to a 13-point average margin of victory over the first three games of the season.
Heavy highlights analysis from LakeShowLife's Svyatoslav Rovenchuk, who deemed both Thybulle and Williams offseason steals signed on one-year, minimum contracts. Through three games, Thybulle is averaging 9.0 points while shooting 50 percent, and Williams is recording 11.3 points per game on 52.2 percent shooting, providing defensive stability on the wings.
