Moses Brown has made his full commitment by rejoining the Mavericks…
The Los Angeles Lakers have wrapped up their summer league campaign, starting poorly but ultimately finishing strong with three consecutive victories. During this run, several key players began to show their potential.
Bronny James, LeBron James’ son, struggled with his shooting in the first four games but improved significantly in the last two, hitting 10-of-21 from the field and 3-of-8 from beyond the arc, while also showcasing strong defensive skills. Dalton Knecht, the 17th overall pick from last month’s draft, had some inconsistent moments but demonstrated his ability to score from long range, both off the dribble and in catch-and-shoot scenarios.
Another standout, though possibly overlooked, is Moses Brown. The 7-foot-2, 260-pound center, who played one college season at UCLA, recently joined the Lakers’ summer league roster and has shown promise at times.
Though not a major scoring threat, Brown consistently puts in maximum effort on the boards and uses his size effectively. He has also contributed with occasional shot blocks and offensive rebounds, helping him secure some easy points.
After going undrafted in 2019, Brown has spent the last five seasons in the NBA and the G League, mainly in limited roles. At just 24 years old, he may still have potential as a backup center.
Given the Lakers’ current need for a defensive and rebounding presence at center, Brown might not be a complete solution but could provide valuable minutes—around 10-15 per game. The Lakers are focusing on player development, and if Brown demonstrates the necessary work ethic and willingness to improve, he could benefit from their support.
Considering their recent shift towards younger talent, inviting Brown to training camp could be a worthwhile move to see if he can address their center position needs.
