Los Angeles Lakers: 3 Lessons from final preseason loss to Golden State Warriors
By Ronald Agers
What does Zach Norvell Jr. have against Jordan Poole?
Sure Zach Norvell Jr. had a great game and that will be covered shortly, but there is a trend being started between Norvell’s crossover, Jordan Poole and the hardwood floor. Poole is almost a lock for Shaqtin A Fool next week when the season starts.
It seems that Poole keeps hitting the floor every time Norvell Jr. crosses him over.

Same spot, a different cross over combination and Jordan Poole fell backward on the floor instead of forward. Apologies to Jordan Poole for bring up old stuff BUT!

If Caruso does not make it back by opening night, Norvell should take his slot. Zach put on a show scoring a team-high, 29 points and challenged Steph Curry all night long. He helped Caldwell-Pope in the scoring column early, scoring eight straight points contributing to the Lakers hot start.
Zach Norvell Jr. shot very well in this game hitting 8-of-17 from the floor and 5-of-10 from 3-point land. It is amazing that this guy was undrafted out of Gonzaga. Another diamond in the rough found by the scouting team of the Lakers.
