"AD's AD," James stated. "I thought he was great from the beginning of the game, just his offset on the offensive end just to be able to get us extra possessions with rebounding. Knocking down shots. I think he had like five dunks in the first half. And communication on the defensive end. He's a very cerebral player. It was a good start for him." James finished the game with 15 points, 8 assists, 3 rebounds, and a steal. AD added to the discussion afterward. "We're just trying to help each other out," he stated. "The more we can do that, the easier the game is going to be for us and our teammates. Any time we have an opportunity to learn, it's good for us." "He's a monster," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said when asked about AD. "It's going to be very difficult to slow him down with what we had around him. I'm excited about what he's going to do, and Lakers fans should be, too."
