The Los Angeles Lakers’ summer league team didn’t feature any major draft picks for fans to keep an eye on, but the likes of Austin Reaves, Joel Ayayi, and Mac McClung provided some good outings and victories. Since it’s the Lakers, however, there were still plenty of eyeballs on them, and that included an up-close look for superstars LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.
James and Westbrook showed up during the Lakers’ summer league contest against the Detroit Pistons, the first public sighting of the duo. For players such as Reaves looking to possibly make the roster, this was his first time performing in front of the legendary superstar.
