North Carolina s core backcourt Xia Lian performed poorly in his debut. If he wants to stay in the Lakers, he has to continue working hard.

In the previous NBA Summer League California Classic game, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 89-84, achieving a good start in the summer league.

In this game, the Lakers' substitute backcourt rookie RJ Davis' performance can be said to be terrible and extremely disappointing. Davis played 13 minutes and 01 seconds in the game, made 1 of 7 shots and 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line, only scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and had a foul, with a plus-minus value of 0. Although Davis doesn't play too much, he also got a lot of ball rights and mobile phone opportunities in his limited playing time. However, his offensive efficiency is a mess, his shooting choices are very unreasonable, he wasted a lot of ball rights, he did not play his scoring ability, and his talent in passing and organization is very average. Due to his weaknesses in body shape, he is not able to take on more responsibilities on the defensive end. It seems that Davis' personal ability is also very different from everyone's expectations. He should have done better on both offense and defense.

Davis was born in October 2001 and is 23 years old, 183cm tall and 82kg. He is a backcourt player with good scoring ability. In the NCAA game last season, Davis made a total of 37 appearances at the University of North Carolina, where he was located, and averaged 34.3 minutes per game, with averaging 17.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1 steal, 0.1 block, and 1.5 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 41.3%, three-point shooting percentage 35.4%, and 87.3% free throw shooting percentage. Davis's performance is actually pretty good, and his scoring ability is worthy of recognition, but his offensive efficiency can only be considered sloppy, and his passing and organizational ability are also relatively poor among players of the same height. In addition, he cannot take on more responsibilities on the defensive end, and his age is obviously a little older, so it is reasonable for him to eventually become a undraft. Although Davis was finally out of the NBA draft, the Lakers immediately provided him with a training camp contract with Exhibit clause 10 after the draft, which also shows that the Lakers are still optimistic about his ability and future development. However, in his summer league debut, Davis' performance was so dark. His strengths were not played out, but his weaknesses were completely magnified. It can be said that he did not meet everyone's expectations and expectations for him at all. Davis should be a very mature player. He should have performed better in the summer league level, but he could only perform like this, which is really disappointing. I don’t know if Davis can adjust his form in time and strive to gain a foothold in the Lakers in the next game.
