Good for LQ. Did he follow with the air guitar?
The Air Guitar might not be as cool in the Association.

19 pt 5 reb 1 stl (1 to) in 24 minutes

He would've had some assists if anyone on his team could've made a basket.

Helluva game. Would love for him to stick and contribute. Was a great Tiger.

Didn't see any. I'd guess he breaks it back out once he's been in the league a little while.

I got to see about half of each half and he looked pretty decent all things considered.

This was the all things considered. I agree they were looking rough.

He was wearing his Memphis blue Nikes. That was so cool. And the announcer wanted him to play the air guitar 'like he did at Memphis'. lol. Lester was all biz, though. He looked trained. Most of his teammates did not. Lakers looked like a team, however.

Here's hoping it translates to a roster spot with the big boys.

Looks like he's started in both games with the Warriors so far ... but noticed that neither Wiesman, Kuminga, Baldwin, etc played in either game ... Would like to see Lester play with the top Warrior talent on the Summer League team ...

yes, LQ needs a better team around him lol. Reportedly, Wiseman told announcers there's a 90% chance he'll be playing Summer League. Wiseman had a great mentor in Klay (very straight ahead person)..who stuck with it through the injury period and came back to be successful.

One thing I've noticed is that his release seems to be faster. Almost like he's worked on copying Steph Curry's style.

He’s in the perfect system for his style

i noticed that too

seems like the arch is lower, and the ball speed is faster to the goal

Yep, I'm too lazy to actually do the work but I feel like he shot much more better when he caught the ball and shot in one motion. I always felt like he struggled when he put the ball on the floor and then tried to shoot.

Summer league performance has earned him a 2 way day

Congrats to LQ. So glad to see him get rewarded for his hard play. He will gain a lot of great experience and hopefully does well. What is a two way contract worth these days?

Players on two-way contracts are paid a flat rate that is equal to half of the league's minimum salary. However, these contracts are not guaranteed, so the players can be cut at any point, and will only receive their salary up to that point

League minimum is a little over a million

$400-450K.
