This is great news. Marc is actually a better fit on the Lakers than Ibaka.
He’s just as good a 3-point shooter (38.5% to 38.5% from deep), a much better passer (3.3 to 1.4 assists per game), a slightly better rim protector (0.9 to 0.8 blocks per game), and a better team defender (0.8 to 0.5 steals per game) than Ibaka.
Marc also had a slightly better offensive rating (109.0 to 108.6), a dramatically better defensive rating (98.9 to 105.5), and a dramatically better net rating (10.1 to 3.1) than Ibaka.
