Lakers summer league and South Bay Lakers coach Dane Johnson recognized the adjustments Lewis is making.
Lakers forward Maxwell Lewis dunks against Houston Rockets forward Cam Whitmore during the first half of an NBA summer league basketball game Friday, July 12, 2024, in Las Vegas. LAS VEGAS — For most players already signed to NBA teams, summer league offers opportunities they won’t typically get once the regular season arrives.
This mindset is why Lewis, despite averaging 11 field goal attempts through the Lakers’ first four summer league games, is focused on doing “the little things to stay on the floor” during the exhibitions. Lewis added: “Guarding on the ball, just one-on-one, coming off handoffs, coming off ball screens. And just talking, being a low man, not getting backdoored, just little things like that.”Lewis was the offensive focal point in college, especially during his last season at Pepperdine when he averaged 17.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 31 minutes.
