The sixth man in the Lakers second team is still slightly worse in the summer United performance?

In a previous NBA Summer League California Classic game, the Los Angeles Lakers completed a big comeback in the final quarter and finally defeated the San Antonio Spurs 89-88. After this game, the Lakers, who won two consecutive victories, improved their record in the summer league to 2 wins and 1 loss, while the Spurs' record dropped to 1 win and 2 losses.

Although the Lakers won the victory in this game, the team's substitute backcourt player Sir 'Jabari Rice also showed a significant decline. Rice played 27 minutes and 17 seconds in the game, made 0 of 4 shots, 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 1 point, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 2 steals, and there were 2 mistakes, with a plus-negative value of 0. Rice's performance on the defensive end in this game has indeed improved, but his performance on the offensive end is indeed a bit unsatisfactory. His scoring ability has not been fully demonstrated, and his ability in passing and organizing has also not been demonstrated. As an excellent sixth person, such performance is obviously unsatisfactory. Rice's performance on the defensive end has indeed provided some support to the team, but with his characteristics and strength, he should have made more contributions and support to the team on the offensive end.

Summer League so far, Rice's average playing time in the first three games has reached 22.5 minutes, with averaging 5.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 1.3 fouls. His shooting percentage is 28.6%, his three-point shooting percentage is 22.2%, and his free throw shooting percentage is 75%. Rice's performance during the summer league can be said to be extremely unstable. He performed poorly in the team's loss to the Golden State Warriors and felt hot in the team's victory over the Miami Heat. In this game, his performance declined again. Rice's offensive efficiency is not ideal, and his role on the court is not fully played out. Of course, Rice's performance on the defensive end was still somewhat beyond expectations, and it seems that he is not a bad defender.

Rice once received a two-way contract from the Spurs, but did not get the chance to play in the NBA. Rice joined the Lakers' NBA Development League team South Bay Lakers in the middle of last season. After joining the South Bay Lakers, Rice played a total of 40 games in the NBA Development League, averaging 21.6 minutes per game, with averaging 13.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.8%, his three-point shooting percentage was 41.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 78.3%. Rice is an excellent sixth man in the NBA Development League field, and he also has reasons to perform better in the summer league level. I don’t know what kind of performance he can perform in the next summer league.
