Los Angeles Lakers: Player grades for 2019-20 preseason
Guards
Rajon Rondo (C) – In the three games that he played in, Rajon seemed more comfortable shooting the 3-pointer. He started in two games and came off the bench once. The offense was fluid with him at the point and his best game he scored 18 points, shooting 7/13 from the field. He added five rebounds and six assists in the same contest.
Alex Caruso (D) – Playing in all six of the Lakers preseason games, we got to see a closer look at Alex Caruso. Although we know what he can do, this year’s preseason was not his best outing. The Lakers’ fan-favorite had two pretty decent games from behind the arc, but his other shots just were not falling in.
Avery Bradley (C) – Known mainly for his defense, Avery had two games where he was the leading scorer for the Lakers during the preseason. An impressive 18 point game which included 4/5 shooting from the three showed that Avery can do a little bit of everything.
Quinn Cook (C+) – Dealing with a slight calf injury, Cook only played in one preseason game for the Lakers. In just fifteen minutes of action. he scored 16 points off the bench and went 4/5 from behind the arc. It may have been just one game but Quinn showed his worth for the Lakers.
Troy Daniels (C) – Troy played in just two preseason games for the Lakers. The first game and the last game. A sprained knee injury limited him in the preseason. He did have an impressive fourteen points in the first game but just five points in the last game.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (B) – KCP was one of the most consistent players for the Lakers during the preseason. Playing in all six games helped him find his rhythm and was able to score 25 points in the final preseason game on 8/16 shooting. He also proved that he could be more reliable from downtown.
Zach Norvell Jr. (B) – The player who got all the Laker fans talking this preseason was Norvell. A two-way player who is in his first year in the league proved that he could shoot lights out. Do not forget about his two insane crossovers that left the defender on the floor. The future is bright for Norvell and he could be something special.
Demetrius Jackson (C) – Jackson registered minutes in all six of the Lakers preseason games. He showed his hustle and was just one assist away from picking up a double-double in the preseason finale.
