Although the 2017 Las Vegas Summer League is a tournament, the main goal for the organizations involved is to see improvements from the key young players on their roster. The Los Angeles Lakers lost their first two games, but have also shown vast improvements throughout the contests.
Entering the Summer League, head coach Jud Buechler stated that the Lakers needed to revamp their defense. His charismatic approach and constant energy has rubbed off onto the roster, as they have shown an improved defensive effort.
While Luke Walton, Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka analyze the Summer League roster from the sidelines, they also take notes on their complete game.
