NBA G League: Ivica Zubac Assigned To South Bay Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers continued their carousel of recalling and assigning players to their NBA G Leauge affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, when the team sent Ivica Zubac down on assignment on Saturday night.
Zubac is averaging 20 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.3 blocks in 29.5 minutes per game over three games in South Bay this season, during which the Lakers’ G League squad has gone 2-1.
The South Bay Lakers won a shootout with the visiting Memphis Hustle, 137-132, on Sunday night behind a career-high 29 points from Travis Wear.

The Lakers (12-5) forced 22 turnovers but shot only 33.3 percent from beyond the arc in the loss.

Dang. Who's a better G League player: Zubac or Bryant?
Zubac has actually done this against NBA players. So Zubac.
Bryant has good upside though and can hit from three.
I do wonder at times if Bryant because of his ability to stretch the floor could play the 4 as well. Or backup 4 anyway. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

i would play them together as twin towers, with Bryant at 4 shooting 3's and thus making space inside for Zubac.
they are future of Lakers, Lopez and Bogut won't be back next season and Randle will probably be traded (which would be a shame, but that's NBA bussiness unfortunately)
