I was on location for the entirety of Las Vegas Summer League, and on the Lakers beat for the majority of my time there. In addition to discussing the team’s power forward dilemma from a gondola for my Locked On Lakers podcast, I also followed the Lakers at each game as well as their practice, and wanted to round up my coverage of the event here:
‘Bash Bro’ Zach Auguste is showing the Lakers he’s the real deal at Las Vegas Summer League
Ivica Zubac got his first taste of being dunked on, but the Lakers’ 7-footer isn’t dead yet
Anthony Brown is the Lakers’ biggest question mark after Las Vegas Summer League
Larry Nance, Jr.’s injury shouldn’t obscure his great summer league play for the Lakers
The Lakers lost their game and their power forward on an unfortunate night in Las Vegas
The Lakers like their new offense, but want to make sure Russell finds the right mix in it
The young Lakers had nothing but love for each other after their 85-65 win over the Pelicans
I also wrote a longform feature on what summer league is like for the less heralded players that fill out rosters every year for Vice Sports.
