Can the Lakers summer United point guard s performance win the management s approval?

In the recent NBA Las Vegas Summer League, the Los Angeles Lakers lost 84-106 in a matchup with the Denver Nuggets, a loss that reduced the Lakers' record in the summer league to 1-4, while the Nuggets rose to 2-3. In this game, the Lakers' starting point guard DJ Steward's performance was also disappointing.

Stuld played for 18 minutes and 39 seconds in this game, with a very low shooting percentage, making 2 goals with only 9 shots, and failed to score all three-pointers. In the end, he only scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. In addition, there was a turnover, with a plus-negative value of -11. His performance on the offensive end was not satisfactory and he was completely unable to show his due scoring ability. His poor efficiency had a negative impact on the team. At the same time, as a point guard, his performance in organization and passing is also mediocre, and his contribution in defense is also limited. Overall, Steward failed to lead the team at critical moments and improve the team's performance, but instead became a burden.

In the entire summer league game, Steulder made 7 appearances, averaging 24.6 minutes per game, contributing 11.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. He shot 42.5% from the field, 40.9% from three-pointers, and 88.9% from free throws. Although he has had some outstanding performances and has shown good scoring and organizational skills in some competitions, it is undeniable that his performance lacks stability and often hovers between efficiency and sluggishness. In addition, as a point guard, he has poor ability to connect the team and offensive organization, and his lack of defense makes his shortcomings more obvious in the game.

Stulder has performed well in the Summer League and the NBA Development League. He chose to represent the Lakers in this event, obviously hoping to win a training camp contract. However, his performance in this summer league did not meet expectations, which made many fans feel regretful. How the Lakers choose in the future will be crucial. The team does need backcourt players who can score independently and have shooting ability. Although Steward meets these requirements, it still needs to be a question mark whether he can satisfy the Lakers management.
