Summer League serves as an important transition for players but often leads to overreactions. It provides teams with insights into player abilities, albeit at a lower competitive level than the NBA. For the Lakers, the summer brought mixed outcomes; standout performances from veterans contrasted with injuries to key players. Bronny James showed improvement, averaging 16.3 points over his last games, indicating his progress as an on-ball guard. Conversely, Dalton Knecht's performance raised concerns, with one standout game overshadowed by overall struggles during the summer.
Play in the Summer League is a step above college basketball, but still pretty far off from actual NBA basketball. Bronny finished with a flurry in Vegas, averaging 16.3 points per game.
While there is still a ways to go, this was a really strong summer for Bronny. On the flip side, this was not a strong summer for Dalton.
