Quadruple single

And 2 steals.

The kid is raw on offense but he has some serious defensive upside.

Perhaps Bronny will get better over time but he will def be on the developmental tract for a period of time. Shit, if the Lakers still have Scottie Pippen Jr's rights, that is somewhat of a standard that will describe Bronny for awhile.

Two good additions to our summer league roster. I believe Brown may have a very good chance of making the bench roster for the Lakers for the season. He has been around the league for 5 years and is 7'2, 260lbs and would be good help for AD in the paint.

Lakers have added Moses Brown and Trent Forrest to summer league roster

The Lakers will have two additional players joining them in Las Vegas for the start of the NBA's main summer league.

Knecht played really well in his most recent SL.

 

[shopson67]

That kid needs to be signed to play for the G-League Lakers.

I know it's just SL but he has played well.

He already signed his 2 way deal (along with Castelton and Traore) during the holiday week.

Which will show better when his teammates have more of a clue. These summer league games are too often just individual efforts, nothing close to team play.

Moses looked OK on Friday, but would expect him to stand out more as a vet NBA player. He did JUST get signed though, we'll see if he's better in this week's games.

Thanks.

I missed that obviously.

What does gender have to do with it? She's the head coach of the Mexican women's national team and was G League coach of the year last season with the Kings affiliate. She had previously been a scout and player development coach with the Sixers and an assistant with the Kings. Well experienced and qualified. She interviewed for the Hornets head coaching job earlier this year.

Knecht, Brown, and Castleton maybe headed for the top 15 players for the season. Maybe.

Summer League star Colin Castleton could be missing piece for Lakers in 2024-25

Los Angeles Lakers center Colin Castleton has been one of the team's top stars at Summer League. He could be earning NBA minutes in the process.

This was a mistake letting Bamba and Beasley walk for nothing.

Analyst destroys Bronny James: 'He's not an NBA player'

Bronny James has gotten off to a rough start in summer league play this month. In four games, he has shot a combined 7-of-31 from the field and missed all 15 of his 3-point attempts, and some are starting to get impatient with him. The son of Los Angeles Lakers…

Should’ve been a Laker from the start, but they screwed that draft up.

Redick wants a big nasty 5. He has Moses Brown. Encourage the guy who played for Portland and who is UFA to put on 20 lbs and he has his guy.

 

[Retroram52]

Castleton just maybe the 5 guy that Redick wants inside. Maybe.

Lakers vs Hawks Game Highlights

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 87-86. Colin Castleton was fantastic for the Lakers with 17 points (8-9 FG), 12 rebounds, and 6 assists as Blake Hinson added 12 points (5-11 FG). Bronny James totaled 12 points on 5-11 shooting for Lakers. Robert Baker (17 points, 3 rebounds)...

I don't see him ever being a "big nasty" type. His key skills are more with his agility and passing, and maybe an improving 3 pt shot (not a lot of evidence of that yet). He played better last night, but still plays like a wind gust could knock him over or make him lose his dribble.

That is why I stated at the end "Maybe", dude.
