Lakers Rookies Shine: Carr & Thiero Show Promise
28 Jul
Summary
- Carr and Thiero demonstrated potential during recent summer league play.
- Thiero offered guidance to rookie Cameron Carr during mini-camp.
- Both players could fill the Lakers' need for two-way wings.
Chemistry and cohesiveness are crucial for the Los Angeles Lakers this season, especially with new additions and a lack of starting two-way wings. The team appears to be making progress, evidenced by a recent mini-camp held during NBA summer league in Las Vegas.
During summer league, rookie guard Cameron Carr, the No. 24 pick, and second-year forward Adou Thiero displayed flashes of brilliance. Thiero recently shared that he advised Carr, a Baylor product, during their time together. This mentorship underscores the developing camaraderie as the Lakers look to integrate their new talent.
Fans have high hopes for Carr and Thiero to become essential two-way players. Carr struggled with shooting but still managed an average of 18 points per game. Thiero posted strong numbers, including 15.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals, showing improved decision-making and playmaking on drives.
While both players need further development, particularly in perimeter shooting and defense, they are ones to watch closely during training camp in October. Their potential contributions could significantly impact the Lakers' roster and performance in the upcoming season.
