    I think that his offense would contribute more to winning than Gabe’s defense has. You guys know that one was hard for me to type, being a defense first fan, but there’s no denying that Olivari has shown real talent.

    he's an older rookie. Give him a shot.

    His highlights look very translatable - catch and shoots, dribble drives with dump offs.

    There's a real pretty arc on his shots. Not too high but higher than most you see. :cool:

    He’s got some game, I really hope we can keep him around and at least give him a look at some point

    That leaping step back at .52 to hit another 3 ….

    :Magicwow4:

    What a long range bomber with those high arc(ers)

    You have to get him minutes with the Lakers at some point. That shooting is too good not to give it a look with AD and Lebron.

    He shot well in college so there is a good chance it will keep translating

    Lakers have literally a million flawed guards (Dlo, Gabe, Max, jsh, Knecht) and one really good one in AR.

    They need to dump some these guards in a trade to get more defense and size. Olivari frankly looks like he could do better mostly because these dudes.have been so mediocre it's worth a roll of the dice

    I hope he makes it impossible to ignore him in the G league and we give him some burn. We need regular minutes for Max, Knecht, and Q to be the best version of ourselves and be ready for the playoffs.

    Who’s going to want our extremely flawed guards?
    I think only DLo will hold some value at the deadline as an expiring contract.

    I think we may be holding him until mid December because he's on a 2-way and can sign a normal contract with a team at any point, if I'm not wrong. So we are waiting to open a roster spot to bring him to the big guys
    I was looking and the Raptors (for Brown) actually can make a ton of sense. They don't have a backup PG, Davion Mitchell is not really an organizer and they have only Barnes and Quickley doing that. I think DLo could help unlock Barrett and d*** to more efficient games. Even Quickley can learn from DLo as he needs to develop on that end too.

    We may need a sweetener because they are both expirings (JHS? Max?) and unless Toronto sees DLo for the mid term (which is not crazy), they'll want a better return from Brown, I believe other teams may make a better offer. I don't want to send a pick, but I would definitely explore this. Even Rui can fit well there for the future too. Let's pray they believe in a couple of our guys

    Guard Quincy Olivari, an undrafted rookie out of Xavier University, had another strong game. He shot 6-of-13 from the field and 3-of-6 from 3-point range to score 24 points, and he also dished off nine assists.
    I am waiting to see him on Tuesday vs Utah

    Is his defense any good so far in the G league?

    I like what I’m seeing so far, and it looks like he brings some attributes that we could use on the varsity squad

    Looking like a guy who can just play to me so I'm also all for giving him a shot.
