Lakers failed to get Taobao in Xialian, Guangdong s old players failed to seize the opportunity, and the two lost drafts made a total of 2 of 17 shots

If you want to say that the NBA is indeed very good at creating popularity, the good players in the free market have basically confirmed their next home, and the Salt Lake City Summer League has begun. And from the specific arrangements, the first game day was the Lakers and the Warriors. The two major traffic teams faced head-on. Logically speaking, the Warriors lineup were basically unknown, but the Lakers, with a better lineup, lost by 5 points in the end, and suffered a bad start to the summer league.

In fact, except for Sweed, other Lakers players performed poorly. He made 7 of 10 shots and scored 24 points and 8 rebounds, and maintained extremely efficient. However, last year's rookie Dalton Knector was said to have been practicing hard during the offseason. However, just when fans were looking forward to him, Dalton Knector poured a basin of cold water. He made 3 of 13 shots and only scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. He also felt cold and lost 6 shots from outside the three-point line. Although it is not a game, compared with last summer league, Dalton Knector's performance will definitely be disappointing if he does not advance or retreat. At the same time, in the Lakers Summer League, Taobao's plan may be declared a failure, and many marginal players are disappointing.

Guangdong Hongyuan old player Dalius Bazley also failed to seize the opportunity. As the first round pick in 2019, Dalius Bazley has explosive physical fitness and athletic ability. At first, he played for the Thunder because it was a youth army, which also focused on the fast whirlwind and was considered the ideal place for Dalius Bazley. But his skills are too rough, and his offensive end is a bit dragging his legs, and his defense only depends on his body, lacking experience and skills. So before the rookie season ended, Dalius Bazley was abandoned by the Thunder. After that, he played for the Suns, the 76ers and the Jazz, but he made a total of 16 appearances and simply came to the CBA to play last season. This summer, Dalius Bazley was invited by the Lakers to participate in the summer league again, but in this game, he only scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks, and made 5 fouls. He probably no longer has the strength of the NBA.

In addition, two undrafted Jabbarri Rice and RJ Davis performed only 2 of 17 shots. The summer league was an excellent opportunity for players to prove themselves, but if they performed poorly, they would likely backfire. Lakers' two-way center Trae Jamison, I don't know if he has any reservations. He didn't make any shots in this game, only scored 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and his performance was lower than expected.

At the same time, LeBron's son Brownie James did not play in this game, which somewhat reduced the highlights. After all, from the Lakers' statement, I hope that Brownie James will have the opportunity to compete for rotation positions in the future. This kind of low-level game could have allowed players to increase their experience and confidence.
