The defensive ability is indeed quite amazing! Can the former Guangdong team s foreign aid get a contract from the Lakers?

In the previous NBA Summer League California Classic game, the Los Angeles Lakers, who suffered a defeat in the previous game, rebounded strongly and defeated the Miami Heat 103-83. After this game, the Lakers' record in the summer league has increased to 1 win and 1 loss, while the Heat's record has declined to 1 win and 1 loss.

In this game, the performance of the Lakers' substitute inside player Darius Bazley also rebounded significantly. Bazley played 18 minutes and 57 seconds in the whole game, made 4 of 6 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 7 of 10 free throws, and scored quasi-double data with 16 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks. He also had 5 turnovers and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative values ​​reached the highest +21 in the game. Bazley showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He not only had a very high basket threat, but also had certain shooting ability. Bazley caused huge trouble for the opponent's inside, and he also went to the free throw line again and again. Bazley's performance on the defensive end is also remarkable. He also proves that he has quite good personal defense abilities. He can use his advantages in athletic ability and movement speed to provide various auxiliary defenses and switches, and he also has certain basket protection abilities. Overall, Bazley's role on the court is quite prominent, and the plus or negative value of +21 can also show how much positive he has on the team.

In the summer league where the team lost to the Golden State Warriors in the previous game, Bazley's overall performance actually had certain highlights. He found 2 of 8 shots, 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 blocks. It also included 3 frontcourt rebounds, 1 turnover and 5 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +2. Bazley's offensive feel was not ideal in the previous game, but he still got a lot of points through his strong inside attack. The most important thing is that Bazley fully utilized his defensive ability in two consecutive games, and he also proved that he was a top defender in this level of game.

Bazley was born in June 2000. He is 25 years old, 206cm tall and weighs 98kg. He is the 23rd pick in the first round of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2019 NBA Draft. Although he is a first-round pick, Bazley's development in the NBA is still somewhat unsatisfactory, which has led to his displaced in recent seasons and unable to obtain a stable contract from NBA teams. Last season, he appeared in the lineup of the CBA League team Guangdong team, Puerto Rico League team Leones de Ponce and the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Development League team Delaware Blue Shirts. I wonder if Bazley's performance in this summer league will attract the attention of the Lakers or other NBA teams. Can he return to the NBA field next season?
