LA D-fenders won last night's game 175-152 (not a typo, 56 points in 1st qtr)


I watched that game too. It was a scoring-fest.
Manny Harris stat line was 39 pts 10 rbs & 13 dimes.

I can't believe this guy is 22 years old, a 6'9" SF with elite athleticism, putting up 29/6 with 1.7 steals and 1.7 blocks, taking 8 threes a game hitting them at 40% in the d-league so far, and we don't grab him and try him out upstairs?

Triple double for Michigan Mamba, he was ballin' last night. Won't be surprised if he gets a call up sometime.

Quincy will definitely be called up by someone, it's just a matter of time. Hopefully, it will be our FO that calls him up and not another team.

Unless he gets signed during the holidays, Quincy is scheduled to be back in LA on Jan 3 to play the D-fenders again at the Toyota Sports Center.

Look at these highlights of his D-League debut last week:


He's twice the player Wesley Johnson is, and huge for a SF.

Not really sure why Harris is not starting for the Lakers at SF. He cannot be worse than Wes.

Isn't he way too small to play SF?

DEFINITELY

He can actually dribble the ball which immediately makes him better than Wes. The fact that he's 6'9" with a 7'4" wingspan and can shoot the 3 makes me really wonder why he's not on a roster yet. Seems like a no brainier.

No one is trying him out, maybe that says something about him and the D League.

We tried him out weeks ago and apparently he was great.

Apparently not, we passed on him when he would have cost us nothing.

The Lakers did give him a chance and worked him out, but they decided not to sign him.

He's not an elite athlete.
