Quincy Olivari

LAL Point Guard

The Lakers have signed Quincy Olivari and Kylor Kelley to Exhibit 10 contracts.

It’s never too early to fill out the roster for training camp, with the Lakers making two such moves on Wednesday. Olivari, who began his college career at Rice before finishing at Xavier, was not selected in this summer’s draft. As for Kelley, the former Oregon State big man spent last season with the Maine Red Claws and has yet to make his NBA debut. It’s more likely that Olivari and Kelley wind up with the Lakers’ G League affiliate, and the Exhibit 10 contracts mean they would be in line for a $77,500 guarantee if they stick with the G League team for at least 60 days (if the Lakers waive them).
LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23

LeBron James posted a full line on Saturday with 14 points (6-of-10 FGs), six rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, one block, one 3-pointer and five turnovers against France.

LeBron wasn’t able to make it two straight triple-doubles, but he came close as he added another gold medal to his resume. There wasn’t a dramatic comeback for Team USA, yet there were still plenty of late theatrics that made for a fun finish. LeBron wasn’t the one hitting the late shots, but he still had his hands all over this game. He’ll have about two and a half months before he starts year 22.

LAL Small Forward #23

LeBron James amassed 16 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes in Thursday’s 95-91 win over Serbia.

James and Stephen Curry did most of the heavy lifting for the United States, which advanced to the gold medal game despite trailing Serbia by as much as 17. The 39-year-old forward recorded a triple-double while playing 32 of a possible 40 minutes. Next up for LeBron and the Americans are hosts France, who became the first host nation since 1996 (USA) to advance to the gold medal game in men’s basketball.
LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23

LeBron James totaled 12 points (5-of-6 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs) with three rebounds, nine assists, and three steals en route to dominant US win.

James scored efficiently and continued to seamlessly act as his team’s primary distributor. He has the highest floor among all Team USA’s players and could need to ramp up his production for a highly-anticipated matchup against Serbia next.
Rui Hachimura

LAL Small Forward #28

Rui Hachimura did not play in Friday’s loss to Brazil due to a left calf injury.

Hachimura felt discomfort in his left calf following Japan’s overtime loss to France on Tuesday, with further examinations revealing an issue with the gastrocnemius muscle. Not only did he sit out the loss to Brazil, which eliminated Japan from contention for a quarterfinal berth, but Hachimura was not with the team. No details were provided regarding the injury’s severity, so it remains to be seen if this will linger until the Lakers open training camp in late September. Either way, he is not a great fantasy option on a team that boasts LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the frontcourt.
LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23

LeBron James provided solid value on Wednesday with 12 points (5-of-9 FGs), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and six turnovers against South Sudan.

James made history on Wednesday by becoming the third player in USA Men’s National Team history to score 300 points in the Olympics, joining Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony. He played well in this game (aside from the turnovers), and he sealed the win with a late dunk off a pass from Anthony Davis. James is likely playing in his final Olympics, so we should expect him to do everything in his power to go out with another gold medal.
Rui Hachimura

LAL Small Forward #28

Rui Hachimura finished Tuesday’s 94-90 loss to France with 24 points (10-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, and three 3-pointers in 28 minutes.

Hachimura played well on Tuesday, but a second unsportsmanlike foul prompted his ejection early in the fourth quarter. And it’s easy to consider what Japan may have been capable of had he not been given his marching orders. Seconds away from sealing an upset victory over the hosts, Japan made the mistake of fouling Matthew Strazel on a 3-point attempt. Strazel made the shot and the ensuing free throw to force overtime, and Victor Wembanyama took over in the extra period. Japan is now 0-2 in group play and will need a win over Brazil on Friday to have a chance of advancing to the quarterfinals.
LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23

LeBron James dropped 29 points, eight boards, nine dimes, a steal and a three-pointer in Sunday’s 110-84 win over Serbia.

James finished behind only Kevin Durant (23 points) for the team lead in scoring, but he led all players in rebounds and assists. As he’s done throughout the Olympics thus far, James has been Team USA’s clear leader, and he should continue to stuff the stat sheet in Paris.
Rui Hachimura

LAL Small Forward #28

Rui Hachimura led Japan with 20 points (4-of-19 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and two triples in a 97-77 loss to Germany on Saturday.

Hachimura didn’t have a great shooting performance, but he was able to finish with a 20-point double-double in the loss. Hachimura is one of the only NBA players on the team, which allowed Germany’s defense to lock in on him. He’ll continue to be one of the focal points of Japan’s offense as they look to have more success against France on Tuesday.
LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23

LeBron James finished Monday’s 92-88 win over Germany with 20 points (8-of-11 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 18 minutes.

The United States found itself in trouble during the fourth quarter for the second straight exhibition. As was the case in Saturday’s one-point win over South Sudan, James shouldered the load to help lead the Americans to victory. He scored a team-high 20 points in just 18 minutes of action and has shown no signs of slowing down despite being 39 years old. Next up for the United States is their first group play game in Paris against Serbia on July 28. However, before that game is played, LeBron will be one of the flag bearers leading the United States delegation during the Opening Ceremony.
