Quickly regained its form! The Lakers super sixth man has brought out both scoring and organizational skills?

In the previous NBA Summer League California Classic game, the Los Angeles Lakers, who suffered a defeat in the previous game, rebounded strongly and defeated the Miami Heat 103-83. After this game, the Lakers' record in the summer league has increased to 1 win and 1 loss, while the Heat's record has declined to 1 win and 1 loss.

In this game, the performance of the Lakers substitute backcourt player Sir 'Jabari Rice, who performed poorly in the first game of the summer league, has improved significantly. Rice played 21 minutes and 16 seconds in the game, made 5 of 7 shots, 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. There was also 1 turnover and 1 foul, and the plus and negative value also reached +16. Rice can be said to have full firepower on the offensive end. Although he doesn't play time or shots, he has also won a large number of points through various methods, and he has also proved that he has comprehensive scoring ability. Rice's performance in passing and organization is also worthy of recognition, and he is also capable of taking on responsibilities in this regard. Rice also played the role of the sixth man well. He also injected a lot of vitality into the team's second team, and he also made his own contribution to the team's victory.

In the previous game where the team lost to the Golden State Warriors, Rice's performance was shocking. He shot 10 shots and 15 shots from outside the three-point line during the 18 minutes and 56 seconds of playing time, scored 3 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, and had 1 turnover and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +2. Rice got a lot of opportunities to make phone calls in the previous game, but his shooting time and time again, his ability to break through and finish was not displayed, his feel in the outside shooting was also low to freezing point, and his talent in organization and tandem offense was not displayed. However, it seems that he adjusted his form quickly and performed his due level in Game 2 of the Summer League.

Rice was born in December 1998 and is 26 years old, 193cm tall and weighs 82kg. He is the undraft in the 2023 NBA Draft. Rice had received a two-way contract from the San Antonio Spurs after the draft, but he had never gotten a chance to play in the NBA. In the past two seasons, he has also been working hard in the NBA Development League. Rice joined the Heat's subordinate Sioux Fox Talent before the start of the NBA Development League last season, but because of his poor performance, he was also cut by the team. Since then, the Lakers' subordinate team, Nanwan Lakers, claimed his contract. After joining the South Bay Lakers, Rice played a total of 40 games in the NBA Development League regular season, averaging 21.6 minutes per game, averaging 13.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.8%, his three-point shooting percentage was 41.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 78.3%. Rice is the sixth best player in the NBA Development League, and his performance in scoring and organization is remarkable. I don’t know if his outstanding performance in this game can help him regain his confidence and perform at a higher level.
