What makes the LA Lakers Summer League team so special?
The 2022 Summer League squad has already seen some standout stars. While the roster has seen the return of Mac McClung, the breakout performers have been Cole Swider, Jay Huff and Scotty Pippen Jr.
Swider has been nothing short of money from beyond the arc. Showing the ability to shoot off the catch and off the dribble, Swider makes his case for joining the Lakers.
Huff has provided quality minutes at the 5 in the Summer-League. While primarily setting solid screens and anchoring the defense. Huff has also been a ferocious rim-runner on the offensive end.
Finally, Scottie Pippen's son, Scotty Pippen Jr., has stood out amongst his peers. Going undrafted, Pippen Jr. has made the most of his two-way contract. Displaying his knack for running the offense, the junior out of Vanderbilt has shown tremendous upside as a point guard.
Lakers No.35 pick Max Christie has also come into his own as a perimeter threat and defensive force.
Overall, the team has played with immense passion and desire. WIth defense being the driving force, the squad have really shown tremendous on-court chemistry with an infectious energy buzzing about them.
Recording sizeable wins while scoring over 100 points in their two games so far, the Summer League has given Lakers fans something to be excited about.
Guess the Lakers players!
