Transferred from Los Angeles to Washington this summer, Montrezl Harrell comes back to life in his new colors. Always so talkative, he was therefore not prayed to send a big assassin tackle to his former franchise of the Lakers!
With their high-risk XXL summer recruiting, the Lakers knew they would be watched for the first few weeks of the season. In view of Russell Westbrook’s pitiful form, which continued again this Saturday, they could quickly be encouraged to draw a negative result. But this is not the only observation that makes fans of the franchise bitter at the start of the year.
More damaging still, the former Angelinos transferred to recover the Brodie cardboard on the Washington side. Installed in a new role that seems to suit him perfectly, Kyle Kuzma, for example, has a radiant face in recent weeks. He did not even wait for the launch of the regular campaign to send a missile towards LA.
Montrezl Harrell chars Vogel and the Lakers
The biggest resurrection among ex-Purple & Gold is however to be put to the credit of Montrezl Harrell. Much more used by Wes Unseld Jr., than under the orders of Frank Vogel, the Sixth Man of the Year 2020 has something to be happy about his departure from Los Angeles. This is what he has done in recent hours, addressing a barely concealed criticism of the Californian coach.
Montrezl Harrell on why he’s playing better this year than he did last season: “Montrezl Harrell is on the floor, brother. That’s the biggest difference.”

Montrezl Harrell, when asked why he’s playing better this year compared to last season: “Montrezl Harrell is on the pitch, brother. This is the biggest difference. “
The stats support Harrell’s point, as with 30.4 minutes of play per game – up from 22.9 last year, he has a lot more time to find his rhythm, and make an impact in matches.
This is reflected in his averages (18.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists), worthy of those he presented during his last successful year at the Clippers. It is therefore he who is placed as the main relay for Bradley Beal in attack, and who is to be credited for several victories won by DC this season. Like what, his previous rant about his use at the Lakers turned out to be quite legitimate!
In full resurgence in the jersey of the Wizards, Montrezl Harrell was not going to refrain from criticizing the Lakers. After all, it is also this characteristic outspokenness that makes its charm!
