The Los Angeles Lakers’ summer league squad is about to begin play, and it has a rather intriguing, if not impressive, roster.
Headlining the team is the Lakers’ first-round draft pick in June. Jalen Hood-Schifino is a 6-foot-6 guard from Indiana University who has legitimate potential at both ends of the court. Also on the team is Maxwell Lewis, an athletic 3-and-D wing the Lakers took at No. 40, and Max Christie, who was a rookie last season.
At first, it looked like perhaps Scotty Pippen Jr. wouldn’t be on the squad, but he is listed on the Lakers’ final summer league roster.
