These are only a few of the current NBA all-time leading scorer, only recently surpassing former leading scorer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 2022-23 season. James has been with the Los Angeles Lakers for the past 5 years and has led the Lakers to a Championship in the bubble season in 2020 (ESPN, n.d.). He has made a huge impact for the Los Angeles and the NBA league and he will continue to do so in the next couple years of his career.

#12 Taurean Prince – PF

Taurean Prince is currently 29 years of age and is playing in his 8th NBA season. These seasons have been played at Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves and is now at the Los Angeles Lakers.

He has multiple awards from his experience in college at Baylor which include, first-team all-big 12, second-team all-big 12 and the big 12 sixth man award (ESPN, n.d.). He will be a valuable asset to our starting line-up and off the bench as well as being a crucial member of the 2023-24 Lakers team.

#3 Anthony Davis – PF

Anthony Davis is a 30-year-old, currently playing in his 12th NBA season. These seasons have been played at the New Orleans Pelicans and the Los Angeles Lakers. Alongside LeBron with multiple awards being won, Davis has been an NBA all-star 8 times, been included in the all-NBA first team 4 times and has won an NCAA champion with the Kentucky Wildcats. This then led to him being drafted as the #1 pick in the 2012 draft to the New Orleans Pelicans, where he played for 7 seasons before getting traded to the Lakers in 2019 (ESPN, n.d.). Whilst at the Lakers Davis was also a part of the 2020 NBA championship team and has continued to make a huge contribution to the former and current Los Angeles Lakers teams throughout his 4-5 seasons at the Lakers

#1 D’Angelo Russell – PG

D’Angelo Russell is currently 27 years of age and is playing in his 11th NBA season. Russell has played at the Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves and has also previously and is currently playing at the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been an NBA all-star and was included in the NBA all-rookie second team in 2016.

He had recently come back to the Lakers in the 2022-23 season and continues to add value to the Lakers team as his is a current starter and the leading guard.

#15 Austin Reaves – SG

Austin Reaves is a 25-year-old who is currently playing in his 3rd season in the NBA. Reaves went undrafted in the 2021 draft due to not wanting to play for the Detroit Pistons. This led to him being signed to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2021 and making his NBA debut in the 2021-22 season. Prior to playing in the NBA, Reaves went to both Wichita State and Oklahoma colleges, which led to him making the first-team all-big 12 and the big 12 all-newcomer team throughout his last two years of college (ESPN, n.d.). Reaves has become a great asset for the Lakers as he is the starting shooting guard, getting some important minutes.

#35 Christian Wood – F

Christian Wood is currently 28 years of age and is playing his 9th NBA season. Within the 9 seasons, Wood has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, New Orleans Pelicans, Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks and now, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Whilst playing in the NBA G League, Wood has won the all-NBA G League second team and the all-NBA G League third team. Similar to Austin Reaves, Wood also was undrafted, which led to him signing with the 76ers after a summer league with the Houston Rockets in 2015 (ESPN, n.d.). Wood will be a significant addition to the Lakers 2023-24 team with his ability to score, rebound and block as a tall centre.

Vincent also went undrafted in 2018, which led to him signing a 10-day contract with the Sacramento Kings, then went to start his professional career in the G League (ESPN, n.d.). This was followed by him being signed to the Heat in 2020. Vincent will be coming off the bench throughout the 2023-24 NBA season and will provide a versatile player in the point guard position for the Lakers.

#5 Cam Reddish – SF

Cam Reddish is 24 years of age and is playing his 7th NBA season. These seasons have been played at the Atlanta Hawks, New York Knicks, Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Prior to his short college career, Reddish had been chosen to play in the McDonald’s All-American game in 2018 whilst attending Westtown School (ESPN, n.d.).

Prior to the NBA, Hayes went to Texas College for a year, which led to him being selected in the second-team all-big 12, big 12 freshman of the year and the big 12 all-defensive team (ESPN, n.d.). Hayes brings another tall body coming off the bench for the Lakers.

#28 Rui Hachimura – PF

Rui Hachimura is a 25-year-old power forward playing in his 6th NBA season. These seasons have been played at the Washington Wizards, whilst the last two seasons have/will be at the Los Angeles Lakers.

Golden State Warriors Send Atlanta Hawks $2 Million to Move up in the Draft and Select Ryan Rollins

On June 23rd, 2022, the Golden State Warriors traded the draft rights of Tyrese Martin and $2 million in cash considerations to the Atlanta Hawks for the draft rights of Ryan Rollins.

During the 2022 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors were looking to add players to help the team continue its dynasty. In the first round, the team selected stretch-four Patrick Baldwin Jr. with the 28th pick.

In the second round, the Warriors had two second round picks. The team had its eyes on shot creating point guard from Toledo Ryan Rollins. A 6-foot-4 guard, Rollins had a quality sophomore year, making first-team All-MAC after averaging 18.9 PPG, 6.4 RPG and 3.6 APG in 34 games.

A limited three-point shooter, Rollins excelled from midrange and was a force to be reckoned with off the bounce.

To draft Rollins, the Warriors sent $2 million and their 51st pick to the Atlanta Hawks for the 44th pick.

Atlanta ended the arrangement with Tyrese Martin, a four-year player who spent time at Rhode Island and UConn. A fantastic rebounder for a 6-foot-6 guard, Martin averaged 13.6 PPG and a team-high 7.5 RPG in his senior year with the Huskies. He also shot a sterling 43% from the three-point line that year.

After the Warriors acquired Rollins, the team discovered he had a foot fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. The injury caused him to miss the 2022 Summer League.

Golden State used some of their middle level exception to sign Rollins to a three-year, $4.8 million deal.

Rollins’ rookie season was shut down during the middle of the 2022-23 season after he underwent surgery to repair a jones fracture in the same spot of his right foot.

Rollins appeared in 12 games with the Warriors, contributing 1.9 PPG, 1.0 RPG and 0.5 APG in 5.2 MPG. Rollins also played for the Warriors’ NBA G League team, the Santa Cruz Warriors. He appeared in 19 games and recorded 19.5 PPG, 3.7 RPG and 3.7 APG in 25.6 MPG.

Looking to successfully defend its 2022 NBA championship, the Golden State Warriors kept most of the title core together for the 2022-23 season. Despite having a similar roster, the Warriors struggled to replicate the success of the previous year.

The team had a 3-7 start to the year. Though the Warriors rebounded, they could not create a massive win streak. The team hovered around .500 before winning 8 of its last 10 games to finish the year in sixth place with a 44-38 mark.

In the postseason, the Warriors battled with the Sacramento Kings. The Kings took the first two games at home before Golden State answered with two straight victories to even the series 2-2. In Sacramento, the Warriors took Game Five. With a chance to win the series at home in Game Six, the Warriors struggled, falling 118-99. Stephen Curry had 50 points in Game Seven to help the Warriors take the series 4-3.

In the next round, the Warriors faced the 43-39 Los Angeles Lakers. Los Angeles took the first game in San Francisco before the Warriors evened the series with a 127-100 rout. The Lakers took the next two games in Los Angeles. After a Warriors Game Five 121-106 win, the Lakers won easily 122-101, eliminating the Warriors in six games. Rollins did not play in Golden State’s 2023 playoff run.

After the season, Rollins was traded by the Warriors with Jordan Poole, Patrick Baldwin Jr., a first round pick and a second round pick to the Washington Wizards for veteran guard Chris Paul.

After the 2022 draft, Tyrese Martin played in Las Vegas for Summer League with the Hawks. He played in five exhibition games, posting 13.8 PPG on 45.6% from the field and 27.8% from three. He also recorded 3.6 RPG and 2.2 APG in 24.9 MPG.

Martin signed a two-year, $2.7 million deal with the Hawks. The first year was partially guaranteed while the second year was fully non-guaranteed.

In his rookie season, Martin played in 16 games for the Hawks, putting up 1.3 PPG and 0.8 RPG in 4.1 MPG. He only saw more than 10 minutes of action twice, one being during the season finale against the Boston Celtics.

Martin spent some time in the G League with the College Park Skyhawks. He appeared in 30 games (28 starts) and managed 18.1 PPG, 8.9 RPG and 1.7 APG in 33.0 MPG. (.502 FG%, .352 3FG%, .784 FT%).

The Hawks had hopes to compete for a top spot in the East and got off to a decent 9-5 start. However, the franchise could never find consistency, hovering around .500 all season.

With the team at 29-30 and in eighth place in the East, head coach Nate McMillan was fired and replaced by assistant coach Joe Prunty on an interim basis. After two games, the Hawks hired Quin Snyder to take over permanently.

Atlanta finished the year 41-41 and in eighth place. The team won its play-in game against the seventh-place Miami Heat 116-105 to move Atlanta up to the seventh seed, leading to a first round matchup against the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics took the first two games of the opening round in Boston. After a 130-122 Hawks win in Game Three, Boston took a 3-1 series lead with a 129-121 road win. Hawks star Trae Young nailed a game-winning three in Game Five to give Atlanta a 119-117 win and Boston closed out the series in Game Six with an eight-point victory. Martin did not play in the series.

In the summer of 2023, Martin played in his second Summer League in Las Vegas with the Hawks. He appeared in five games, averaging 13.2 PPG on 44.4% from the field and 34.8% from the three-point line. The 6-foot-6 guard also managed 6.0 RPG and 2.6 APG in 21.2 MPG.

Martin stood out with 25 points in one Summer League win against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

youtube

With his contract guarantee coming up, the Hawks waived Martin soon after Summer League before the date as they cleared up roster space to sign veteran guard Wesley Matthews.

Tyrese Martin on making Atlanta his home (via Bally Sports South):

“This is my first time [in Atlanta] other than AAU events. I haven’t really been out here to do much. What I can see from the Atlanta fans is they show a lot of love. The place sounds electric there for games.”

Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers on the team’s interest in Ryan Rollins (via The San Francisco Chronicle):

“The shot creation, we value that. He can dribble, pass, shoot, shot well from the free-throw line. Not as well from 3... but we think he can get a little stronger in his legs and extend out there.”

How Rollins’ game is similar to Warriors guard Jordan Poole:

“He’s got a little bit of that (Jordan) Poole game. We’re watching him play one-on-one, he’s a really tough cover, handles the ball well. He’s got a good crossover-step-back, can get to his shooting pocket. And he plays well on the defensive side, he’s really long. ... So a lot of the characteristics we like in players — the length, the skill set and shot creation — is always valuable. I like his attitude. I like his competitive spirit. There’s a lot to like about him.”

Atlanta Hawks general manager Landry Fields on acquiring Tyrese Martin through the draft (via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution):

“What an unbelievable story... Another guy that from a character-value standpoint and what we want to build here, we couldn’t be more excited. Tough kid, brings defense, (is) also versatile as a wing, can shoot the ball. Hopefully we can continue to see that be consistent as we continue on here.”

Blazers Gary Payton II To Miss Begin of Common Season

Portland Path Blazers’ newly-acquired defensive wing Gary Payton II will miss the beginning of the common season. Photograph by Sam Forencich/NBAE by way of Getty Pictures As he’s nonetheless recovering from belly surgical procedure, Portland Path Blazers swingman Gary Payton II will miss at the least a few weeks extra earlier than he will likely be re-evaluated. Payton underwent that surgical procedure attributable to a core muscle harm, and the excellent news is that he’s progressing properly in his rehab. Payton, who went undrafted throughout the 2016 NBA Draft, has established his title as one of the versatile defenders within the league at present. Despite the fact that he solely stands at 6-foot-3, Payton has the athleticism and defensive instincts that enable him to protect gamers which might be taller and larger than him. He spent a big chunk of his profession within the NBA G League, earlier than carving a distinct segment within the Golden State Warriors roster and serving to them win the 2022 NBA championship. Gary Payton II, who’s the son of Corridor of Famer and former NBA Defensive Participant of the 12 months Gary Payton, averaged 7.1 factors, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.4 steals final season. His means in locking down the most effective gamers on the opposing staff was a worthwhile asset for the Warriors’ profitable title run. Nonetheless, the Dubs didn’t have the monetary flexibility to re-sign Payton, so the Blazers’ entrance workplace grabbed the chance. The Blazers had a number of rivals for Payton’s providers, however they in the end gained the sweepstakes. Payton inked a three-year, $26 million cope with the Blazers, a hefty payday that he rightfully deserves. Despite the fact that he doesn’t rating quite a bit or dish out a excessive variety of assists, his basketball smarts and defensive versatility will present a successful impression for the Blazers. The Blazers will go to the Sacramento Kings for his or her season opener on October 19. 2022-23 NBA Season Originally published at Sunshine Coast QLD News

Dior johnson

#DIOR JOHNSON PROFESSIONAL#

His first home game back might be against New Paltz on Friday, January 4, a rematch of the 2018 Section IX, Class A title game, won by the Huguenots in triple overtime. In addition to the hosts, the Queensbury Spartans and Averill Park Warriors will also be competing. It’s likely to be at the Shawn Walsh Memorial Basketball Tournament at Burnt Hills High School on December 27-28. Now basketball fans are wondering when and where Johnson will play in the nearer future. Johnson has already gotten offers from 16 NCAA Division I schools to play point guard when he graduates high school in 2022. Johnson amassed 1098 points in two seasons of varsity basketball at SHS, becoming the youngest-ever boys’ basketball player to cross the 1000-point threshold in New York State history. Johnson averaged 31.1 points, 3.5 steals, 3.1 assists and 4.6 rebounds last season, helping lead the team to the Section IX, Class A title game. When you have the reputation that he earned over the last two years, he’s followed by a lot of different people across the country.” “I think it was just talk,” Tiano said of Johnson considering other local schools, including Kingston High. After speaking to Johnson and his mother, the return was confirmed. Tiano said he never had any doubts about Johnson wanting to play again for the Sawyers. There was a lot of speculation about Johnson’s return, including whether he’d play for Saugerties or for another school in the area. Once we get that signature he’ll be cleared.” “When you transfer back to a school you have to have the head of the school, the athletic director and the coach all sign off that you were leaving the school in a good academic standing. “All we’re waiting for is the paperwork from IMG to return,” said Saugerties coach Mike Tiano. If not for the customary red tape, he might have already played his first games back in Saugerties. He re-enrolled at Saugerties High and is preparing himself to step onto the court in the familiar blue-and-white. Johnson, who played two varsity seasons as a Sawyer before accepting an offer to play at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida for his freshman season, opted to come back home earlier this month. The Sawyers are expected very soon to get a shot in the arm before January with the return of freshman point guard Dior Johnson, one of the few players capable of causing a significant impact just by coming home from Florida and playing. Writes Mike Waters of, “It now appears that Johnson and the Syracuse coaching staff, including head coach Jim Boeheim and assistant Gerry McNamara, were both ready to move on.The Saugerties High School boys’ varsity basketball team is 2-5 this season, a relatively young team that’s still trying to find its rhythm. While it’s possible that Johnson could commit to another college team, I think it’s much more likely that he ends up going from high school directly to the NBA’s G-League or perhaps overseas, prior to getting selected in a future NBA Draft. Multiple media reports on Tuesday night said that Johnson and ‘Cuse coaches mutually agreed to part ways. Johnson said on Twitter that he is reopening his recruitment, but that Syracuse basketball “will remain one of my top schools.” However, Johnson has also moved around to multiple high schools over the past several years, most recently enrolling at Corona Centennial High School in Corona, Calif., for his junior season after leaving the Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., more than a month ago.Īll of this led some ‘Cuse fans to predict, now correctly, that Johnson would eventually move on from his commitment to the Orange program. I had held out hope that Johnson would don an Orange uniform for at least one year, as the buzz surrounding his commitment to Syracuse basketball has proven tremendous, particularly since Johnson had said he planned to bring other stellar recruits with him to the Hill. Five-star point guard Dior Johnson, a Syracuse basketball commit, has reopened his recruitment.

#DIOR JOHNSON PROFESSIONAL#

However, pretty much since day one when Johnson announced his commitment to the Orange this past February, a fairly large contingent of ‘Cuse fans opined that Johnson would never suit up in Central New York, but rather, ultimately head straight from high school to the professional ranks.

Son Of NBA Legend Scottie Pippin Signs With The Lakers

Scottie Pippin Jr. agreed to play for the Los Angeles Lakers for the upcoming 2022-2023 NBA season. Basketball fans are watching with intense curiosity as the NBA Draft and Free Agency begin to affect their favorite teams. Off-season is a time of great concern for basketball fans as it is a time for teams to either rebuild, retain greatness, or horrendously fail. In short it is great indicator as to how a team might perform in the upcoming regular season. Rebuilding After Failure One team that many fans are watching with great scrutiny is the Los Angeles Lakers. The team performed poorly last season. The team led primarily by former MVPs Lebron James and Russell Westbrook failed to make a postseason appearance. What made this sting even worse for fans was the lack of draft picks held by the team, meaning rebuilding options remained limited for the team. However, one legacy asset came to LA today. The Specifics Scottie Pippin Jr signed a two-way deal with the Lakers. A two-way deal means that the Vanderbilt player will primarily play on the Lakers’ G-League affiliate team, the South Bay Lakers, but can be brought up to the main team as they see fit. Jr. is the son of Chicago Bulls legend and former Michael Jordan teammate Scottie Pippin. This most certainly is an emotional high for the young player. Not only is he going to follow in his father’s footsteps as a professional basketball player, he is also going to play for his hometown team. The young man is a native of LA. More Legacies That was not the only legacy player brought on. The Son of four-time NBA champion and former Laker, Shaquille O’Neal, Shareef O'Neal signed with the Lakers for the upcoming NBA Summer League. Following that he celebrated with a tweet. With the new signings and ongoing rumors of All-Star Kyrie Irving potentially joining the squad it is certainly an interesting if uncertain time for the Lakers and the team’s many fans.
