Quincy Olivari

[GoMuskies]

Don't see where anyone has mentioned this, but Quincy Olivari scored 28 points on 7-15 from 3 in the South Bay Lakers season opener. Grabbed 10 boards and dished out 6 assists for good measure.

Compare that to his backcourt mate Bronny James who played 31 minutes, was 2-9 from the floor, scoring 6 points, grabbing 3 rebounds with 4 assists and 5 turnovers.

Olivari was a +16 in his 37 minutes compared to a -1 for James in his 31 minutes.

Speaking of Bronny, He's not playing away games.

What a joke. He should have never been drafted. But he was. Then they give him a 5M guaranteed deal, which is not typical for a 2nd round pick. Then he kind of sucked in the preseason, so they let him start the season with the Lakers. then they send him to the minors and he doesnt have to travel with the team?

Why doesn't the commissioner step in? cant he invoke some kind of "competitive integrity" clause on the lakers? they punish teams if they sit their stars because it impacts "competition", but they let a team run a guy out there that should be playing college at a mid-major right now?

They also activated him for last night's NBA game vs. the Griz. He took a DNP-CD, but I guess Lebron wanted to have him on the bench with him or something. Weird.

I don’t know why people care about it that much. LBJ is still the most polarizing player in the league. Lakers keep him happy with this? Smart. Frankly bronny sitting at the end of the bench is better for the Lakers development of potential rotational players (like Q).


People don’t care much about Giannis brother riding the bench in Milwaukee.

To me, there is a clear divide between a fringe nba type talent like Giannis brother and Lebron's son who imo doesn't even belong on a high D1 bench.

Somewhere out there, Lavar Ball is thinking he should have done the same thing for his kids when they were in college. Play only home games for UCLA (or wherever the hell they went otherwise).
