What's weird I dont' remember him at all from Summer League. He kind of came out of nowhere in that Bucks pre-season game. Really small sample size but @abeer3 did post highlights from his college career and it's not that surprising he would be decent? I know we have a guard glut but the dude can shoot and be a pest on defense that is exactly what the Lakers need and Gabe seems very inconsistent nowadays and frankly Olivari shot just looks better.
Same here with the nothing jumping in Summer League and then BOOM against the Bucks. Summer League is just tough .... a lot of guys trying desperately to get noticed to have a shot, and not a whole lot of time to learn team concepts.
his shot's not a fluke. it looks a little funny, but he's shot 40% for years, and he can do it on the catch or off the dribble from what i've seen/read. he's not an explosive athlete, vertically or laterally. but he's got some nifty shots and seems like a gym rat. long arms, good strength. i'm cautiously optimistic that he can really help and sooner than say, jhs. edit: i'll echo that he didn't stand out in summer league. he may be a guy that looks better in a system and with better teammates. though he did kick a** in college.
Speed wise on POA maybe he falls between Schroder and Vincent? Is he faster than Gabe? Guess we'll find out at some point when he starts getting some minutes. Better shooter for sure.
Cool to hear him tell how he found out he's getting the two way deal. Confirms there was other interest if we didn't make a move. Also refreshing to hear his outlook on JJ getting onto him
he's basically gabe's size but a more proven shooter at the same stage. similar player profile. don't think he can be a deaaron fox defender, not that many can.
