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.
Mike Trudell: Magic said Rondo has been terrific in 5-on-5’s. Didn’t want to play on LeBron’s team, but wanted to run the other team. Within one of the scrimmages, Magic added that Svi barely missed a shot. Thinks he hit 6 straight 3’s.
LeBron James: “I think more importantly than what I need to share with the younger guys, I think what a lot of people are missing is how hungry for knowledge that the young guys are. Kuz and Zo and Josh Hart, and Brandon Ingram, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Slavi (LeBron definitely meant Svi Mykhailluk but this is hilarious) and Moe Wagner, we have young guys that are extremely excited not only about playing the game, but also learning the game. That’s going to help out even more because those guys are just hungry for knowledge, so I’m looking forward to that.”
