Two consecutive preseason games performed well, North Carolina s backcourt core can grab a two-way contract from the Lakers

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Golden State Warriors, who played at home, successfully defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 111-103. After this game, the Warriors got a good start in the preseason; while the Lakers suffered two consecutive losses in the preseason.

Although the Lakers lost the game, the team's substitute backcourt rookie RJ Davis was still quite good. Davis played 18 minutes and 37 seconds in the game, 1 of 2 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, 8 of 8 free throws, scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with the highest plus and minus value of +22. Davis doesn't play too much, but he showed quite good breakthrough ability on the offensive end. He also seized the opportunity to create a huge threat to his opponent, and his opponent made a lot of fouls on him. With Davis' efforts, the Lakers even made a small climax in the last quarter of the game, helping the team recover a large number of points. But the performance of the Lakers' starters is really a bit bad, and Davis's outstanding performance is not able to help the team recover.

Davis was born in October 2001 and is about to turn 24 years old. He is 183cm tall and weighs 82kg. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. In the NCAA game last season, Davis made a total of 37 appearances for the University of North Carolina, where he was, with averaging 34.3 minutes per game, averaging 17.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1 steal, 0.1 block, and 1.5 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 35.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 87.3%. In the previous NBA Summer League, Davis made a total of 7 appearances, averaging 14.6 minutes per game, averaging 6.1 points, 1 rebound, 2.6 assists and 0.6 steals, and 1.4 turnovers and 1.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 38.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 23.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 66.7%. In the previous game when the Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns, Davis made 5 of 8 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line and 3 of 3 free throws, got the second highest score of the team with 14 points plus 1 steal, and there were 2 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of -1.

Davis is a undraft in this year's NBA Draft. After the draft, he only received a non-guaranteed training camp contract from the Lakers. It was generally believed that he would be cut by the team during the preseason and join the Lakers' NBA Development League team Nanwan Lakers after the start of the new season. Unexpectedly, in these two preseason games, Davis actually performed well in succession. He also showed off his offensive characteristics and proved that he had a very good scoring ability. If Davis can maintain this level, maybe he will have the opportunity to launch an attack on a two-way contract quota?
