Los Angeles Lakers — Summer League 2026

From: Los Angeles Lakers

High-motor wing with elite athleticism and defensive versatility, capable of guarding multiple positions. Offensive game remains raw—limited shooting touch and questionable shot selection undermine his transition scoring ability. Watch whether he can make simple reads in the half-court and if the three-ball shows any improvement from his Arkansas days.

From: Florida State

Physical interior presence with good size and rebounding instincts, thrived as a role player at Florida State. Limited offensive repertoire beyond putbacks and dunks, lacks defensive foot speed against stretch bigs. Summer League will test whether he can finish through contact consistently and protect the rim against higher-level athletes.

From: Marquette

Shooter-specialist wing who can space the floor and move without the ball, improved perimeter efficiency at Marquette. Defensively limited—lacks lateral quickness and gets hunted in actions. Look for whether he can hit shots off movement under pressure and if he shows any playmaking instincts with the ball.

From: Los Angeles Lakers

Versatile forward with NBA size and solid two-way foundation, shown flashes in Lakers system. Needs to prove he can consistently knock down corner threes and handle defensively in space. Watch his decision-making as a cutter and whether he's aggressive attacking closeouts.

From: Vanderbilt

Long, athletic wing defender with good instincts and switchability potential from his Vanderbilt days. Offensively limited—struggles to create separation and shooting mechanics need overhaul. Monitor whether he can hit spot-up threes at respectable volume and if he makes winning hustle plays.

From: Miami (OH)

Crafty, fundamentally sound guard from Miami (OH) with decent feel for the game and passing vision. Lacks elite athleticism and size for NBA, questions about whether he can finish or defend at this level. Watch if he controls pace, takes care of the ball, and whether his pull-up jumper translates against length.

From: South Bay Lakers

Prototypical stretch four with good shooting stroke and high basketball IQ, productive in G League with South Bay. Athleticism and defensive mobility are major concerns—gets exposed in pick-and-roll coverage. Look for shooting consistency from NBA range and whether he competes on the glass against more athletic bigs.

From: Oklahoma City Blue

Former first-round pick trying to resurrect career, explosive athlete with defensive potential when engaged. Never developed offensively after injuries derailed trajectory—shooting remains broken and ball skills are minimal. Watch whether the burst is still there and if he's found any offensive confidence beyond transition dunks.

From: Stockton Kings

Veteran G League guard with scoring punch and deep range, proven bucket-getter at that level. Undersized combo guard who struggles defensively and can force offense. Monitor shot selection and whether he can run pick-and-roll efficiently without dominating the ball.

From: South Bay Lakers

Polished four-year player from Gonzaga with high feel, does the little things and plays within himself. Lacks a true position—not quick enough for the wing, not big enough inside, shooting is fringe. Watch whether his versatility and IQ translate or if the lack of elite skill shows up.

From: Baylor

From: Syracuse

Long, athletic wing from Syracuse with solid defensive tools and good size for the position. Offensively raw—inconsistent shooter with limited ball skills and creation ability. Look for whether he can defend multiple positions with intensity and if the three-point shot shows any improvement.

From: South Bay Lakers

Skilled forward with NBA size and shooting potential, has shown scoring ability in spurts. Consistency is the issue—shot selection wavers and defensive effort comes and goes. Watch whether he plays with discipline, commits on defense, and if he can score efficiently without monopolizing possessions.

From: Virginia

Steady point guard from Virginia with typical UVA traits—low-turnover player with defensive fundamentals and understands pace. Limited athleticism and scoring upside cap his ceiling, struggles to create advantages. Monitor how he manages games, whether his shooting holds up, and if he can defend quicker guards.

From: Saint Louis

Crafty, skilled big man with excellent passing vision and shooting touch for his size, unique offensive player. Lacks NBA athleticism and defensive mobility—will get targeted in space and on the glass. Watch whether his shooting translates to NBA three-point range and if he can survive defensively through positioning.
