South Bay Lakers acquire returning player rights to Quincy Olivari

The Los Angeles Lakers’ G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, have acquired the returning player rights to guard Quincy Olivari.

Olivari previously had a two-way contract with the Lakers, but was released when the team signed big man Trey Jemison III to a two-way deal. Many were sad to hear the news as Olivari had become a fan favorite thanks to a strong preseason performance that ultimately landed him the two-way deal in the first place.

Olivari, now set to re-sign with South Bay, maintains a path that could eventually lead him to the Lakers. But no longer on a two-way contract, he can sign with any team, so it’s very plausible he could still end up somewhere else if a team is interested and wants to bring him in.

That’s certainly a possibility, as Olivari has impressed many, not only within the Lakers organization, but throughout the league as a whole. He had several strong preseason performances and even signed a brand deal with Stephen Curry and Under Armor as a child.

Olivari was also one of the best players for the South Bay Lakers this season. In nine games during the G League Tip-Off Tournament, he averaged 18.1 points and 4.1 assists while shooting 40.8% from 3-point range. There’s no doubt Olivari can shoot the ball and has a lot of potential, so it’s promising to see him in the South Bay.

The young guard received high praise from his Lakers teammates not only for his skills on the court, but also for the type of person he was, the energy he brought every day and the hard work he put in to improve his game . Hopefully he gets his chance to really impress in the league at some point and whether it’s with the Lakers or somewhere else in the NBA, he’ll have put in all the work necessary.

Anthony Davis explains how Lakers can be better against good teams

The current Lakers will take over one of the best teams in the NBA, the always hasty Boston Celtics. The Lakers have had some struggles against many of the league’s top teams, and Anthony Davis opened up about how he feels the Lakers can improve against them.

“We just can’t make mistakes against these teams or they will make us pay. They’re going to take advantage of every possession,” Davis admitted. “So we can’t beat each other. And often we beat ourselves. We can get away with it against the bad teams. But teams like the Boston Celtics, make a mistake and they will make you pay. “
