Gabe Vincent’s signing with the Lakers after helping the Heat to the NBA Finals was an unexpected one. It was one not rumored nor was it necessary an area of need.
However, that doesn’t mean it’s a signing that didn’t make sense or have merit. Vincent is a proven winner and someone who can play multiple positions and next to stars effectively.
More than anything, he’s an intelligent player, as new teammate D’Angelo Russell pointed out after Saturday’s preseason game. Vincent played 20 minutes and scored seven points with four assists.
