Harrison Faigen: LeBron said it doesn’t matter for his health long-term if he rests in the 4th, but that “I like getting the guys who don’t get as many minutes out on the floor. So if we’re able to do our job and push the lead up, guys like Moe and Svi can get in there. Big Zu can get in there.”
Harrison Faigen: Brandon Ingram was talking about how he wants to learn something from everyone on the team, and punctuated it with this: “I might learn from Svi, he can shoot the damn basketball.”
Mike Trudell: I asked Alex Caruso/Travis Wear if anything has stood out to them over the summer: “I’ve been really impressed with Svi. I think he’s going to be the steal of the Draft like Kuz was last year.” Wear added: “He’s (really good). Much better defender than I would have expected.”
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope says the Lakers “should definitely take it personal” when people believe the Lakers don’t have any perimeter shooting specialists. The Lakers are banking on Caldwell-Pope, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and Kyle Kuzma to improve from the perimeter and rookie Svi Mykhailiuk has seriously impressed the Lakers coaching staff and management with his shooting. It remains to be seen if the rookie will be able to earn minutes and stay on the floor.
