(thanks Moonpie! Freakin awesome

After an exciting summer league opening win against the New Orleans Pelicans featuring rookies Buddy Hield and Cheick Diallo, our young Lakers face off against Ben Simmons and the Sixers. It'll be a great match-up between the top two picks in this NBA Draft even though likely Nance will be the one guarding him.
We had a very impressive debut from both Ingram and Zubac as well as Russell and Nance. Zubac was a great surprise, 3 blocks, low fouls, didn't ever seem tired and was always active and keeping up with the team's pace. Solid performances from Brown and Auguste also were pleasant surprises.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of Nikola Jovanovic as I'm intrigued by him and Auguste as possibly the last big on this team. Jovanovic has that outside shot that I wonder if we'll see here in summer league.
