looks like they have Caruso listed as SF, and Joel Berry as PG |

Good lord, he even hit a 3! South Bay has to put out a highlight clip.

Isaac Bonga - wow.
There was a time not long ago I would have expected Wagner to dominate G League games while Bonga struggles to score. My oh my how the tables can turn.
Bonga with 19 points on just 9 shots in only 21 minutes.
9 rebounds, 5 steals, 2 assists, and also 2 blocks.
Only 1 foul, only 1 turnover.
Either this kid has a learning curve steeper than Einstein, or Summer League was a COMPLETE FLUKE. For an 18 year old kid this guy can play ball. |

Lamar Bonga out there balling lol. I thought it was going to be at least 2(possibly 3) years before this dude saw an NBA court for any significant amount of time, and now it’s looking like he might contribute next hear. Our scouting and development team is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth lolz. |

*thumbs up*
Yeah, it's the g-league, but it's still impressive because he's 18 years old. Not too shabby.
Could be a solid contributor for the Lakers in 2 seasons. Maybe as early as next season. |

| Whenever the Lakers lose a game, I just remind myself how Bonga will lead the Lakers to 7 NBA titles. |

| Could this kid become similar to Nicolas Batum? He looked bad in SL but decent in preseason |

Bonga is learning FAST. He's kind of too good for G-League. He should just use the time as skills development.

Mike -at- lg, I am surprised by your comment at Isaac Bonga. I thought you were initially not high on him? |
