The addition of Tyson Chandler might have seemed like a move to ameliorate the brewing storm in Los Angeles after a subpar start to the season, but the veteran has already shown high impact in his three games with the team. The 36-year-old center has only scored nine points throughout his brief stint as a Laker, but an anonymous NBA coach already thinks he has more juice than most aging veterans.

“He's 36, but those weren't high-mileage years for his body in Phoenix,” said the coach, according to Marc Stein of The New York Times.

Chandler gobbled up 20 rebounds in his first 46 minutes of play with the Lakers and has now come up clutch in performances against the Minnesota Timberwolves and most recently with a game-saving block against the Atlanta Hawks to power the Lakers to a 3-0 week and over the .500 mark for the first time this season.

It's tough to think of an aging veteran as a transformational player, but Chandler does have championship DNA and a plethora of NBA experience after playing for 17 years in the league — the last three of them for the Phoenix Suns as a mentor for young players.

The 7-foot-1 center played in only 46 games last season and 47 in 2016-17, putting very little miles on his legs after dipping way below the 30-minute mark during his stint with Phoenix.

Tyson Chandler has played minutes in the low 20s during his brief time with the Lakers, and he could be expected to retain that time share with plenty of juice left in his veteran legs.
