3 Most important Summer League Lakers offer glimpse into a JJ Redick future https://t.co/cvqniRJXCg

Colin Castleton

Castleton has been nothing short of sensational during the Lakers’ Summer League games. He’s been a double-double machine, producing five in seven outings, and has often emerged as the team’s primary facilitator.

Bronny James

More importantly, he played with confidence that wasn’t anywhere to be seen during his first five Summer League games and shot with fearlessness when space presented itself.

The next time out, James addressed the notion that it was a fluke performance head-on. He put up 13 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two blocks, shooting 5-of-10 from the field, in what may have been the most well-rounded performance he’s had since high school.

Dalton Knecht

At 6’5″ and 212 pounds with a 6’9″ wingspan, Knecht moves effortlessly around the floor. He has the leaping ability to play above the rim, the strength and toughness to fight through contact, and the quickness to play the angles as well as any incoming rookie when on the drive.

If Knecht can parlay his Summer League success into a strong rookie season, the Lakers will be an entirely different team than they were a year ago.

Lakers receive:
-Bam Adebayo

Heat receive:
-D’Angelo Russell
-Austin Reaves
-Jarred Vanderbilt
-2029 first-round pick
-2031 first-round pick

Loved the moxie the team showed tonight. Young guys really battled and I like the slight change in attack, fewer threes (weren’t winning chucking anyhow) and pretty decent (for summer league) D.
