On Friday morning, the first credible report questioning Frank Vogel’s job security surfaced, but at the team’s fourth shootaround of the season a few hours later, veteran guard Wayne Ellington made it clear that if anyone is blaming Vogel for the Lakers’ 10-10 start, he’s not among them.
“I think he’s been great,” Ellington said when asked what he’s thought about how adaptable Vogel has been this year. “We’ve had guys in and out of the lineup all year long so far, and that takes adaptation. He’s had to evolve with the guys we have out there in terms of personnel, and I think he’s done a good job of that.
