I actually am convinced Olivari will eventually take one of the two-way spots. 3 level scorer that injects energy, rebounding and defensive pressure off the bench guard position. Outperforms Bronny and JHS in that role. Very good positional rebounder like Goodwin but Quincy can shoot. Although he has a very long way to go to establish himself in the NBA, his physical measurements and game are similarly modeled to that of a De'Anthony Melton. Very difficult to make it in the NBA and opportunities have to arise to even get a foot in but Quincy at least started a conversation for himself when he actually got a chance to play in the Summer League and now Pre-Season.
Olivari sparked the Lakers like I haven’t seen in years. Seeing our stars on the bench so electric and happy, supportive to our g league players. That’s some real chemistry I haven’t seen that since 2020. Trevor can you talk about how good the chemistry looks right now and how we never seen that with Ham. Let’s go Redick wow this team is looking amazing this preseason I am very exciting to see what he got to offer this year!!
@@dmitryowensBased on what? While the bench was on their feet cheering and celebrating with huge smiles in the 4th quarter, I noticed JHS. He wasn't smiling. His face had the look of somebody who was stunned and worried because a rookie was on the court ripping it up, unlike anything he had done since the start of his professional career.
Who cares about the 15th spot on our roster ? If our roster is that thin that even the 15th spot matters that much, then we weren’t going to win shit anyway.
True, but, LeBron wanted him on the roster. The should look to get rid of Cam Reddish. I don’t see him getting any playing time as his role will go to Christie and Knecht
I’d rather have Cam’s defensive capabilities than Bronny’s. Something like this won’t be the reason they don’t win the chip but it does limit the fine margins of improving the roster.
It wasn't his stats so much, as it was WHAT he did & HOW he did it. Imho, the kid singlehandedly got the team under control & was solely responsible in pushing them forward to get the win. Energetic, yet smooth....under control, while simultaneously creating havoc. It was REALLY EXCITING watching his minutes last night. Yeah....they need to keep & even get him up to the Varsity squad.
Dude!! Does LBJ really thinks Bronny is better than Quincy????? It just so disgusting to think Olivari will not even earn NBA minutes at least for garbage time and BRONNY is given by nepotism NBA minutes Warranted 😢
I honestly think bronny just need a break out game. A game where he get like 10 to 15 points and that will spark his confidence. I know LeBron said bronny don’t care about the criticism he is getting but I call 🧢 on that. We all care about some type of criticism. Bronny just need a game where he see some shots fall and have a few moments in a game. He will be fine.
A break out game for Bronny would more likely be on the defensive side, more rebounds or blocks. Unfortunately, Bronny is poor in every offensive category.
Lakers should not let Quincey Olivari go anywhere, he is an Impact player at his young age, a winner, and the Lakers can be a winner if they keep him. There are other players on this team who are not impact players. CK, CC, etc!!!
Fucking hell. The guy popped off for a few minutes, against the garbage unit of the Bucks, and you guys already wants to sign him. No wonder our fanbase is known for being the most delusional fanbase in the entire league
The exhibit-10 doesn't really keep him from other teams much at all, right? Any team could snatch him as soon as he gets waived? I doubt they open a full roster spot so it seems like we're almost certain to lose him, unless they open a two-way spot for him before the season starts.
Olivari looks like the X factor for the team, i would gamble on him. I'm impressed by his playing, come on front office give him a spot, i believe he would be great in this season and beyond. This is someone who's well needed.
It's so refreshing and so rare for a Laker player, in this day and age, to actually think about how he can best help the team. His attitude alone makes Q a keeper. Someone on this team has to put the team first.
He definitely came in an sparked the team an got the win. I'd keep him he's young an hungry. That energy should be contagious to the other players besides the starters to step up an ball up
Would be way fairer to Bronny to send him to the development league. He’s clearly not ready for prime time, doesn’t run the lanes, loses his man on d, stands at the top of the key and clogs things up, doesn’t have a full grasp of the pick n roll, and doesn’t dribble and penetrate the defense when he’s in the key. It’s really not fair to him to keep him on the main team,
Quincy had ONE good game, but people should relax.. Everyone was saying Knecht was the second coming after 1 good preseason game, but now hes struggled shooting the last couple games and thats quieted down a bit.. Knecht will have growing pains as all rookies do but hell eventually be good.. Quincy needs to prove he can do it consistently before we give him a roster spot imho
@@theguru6744 Id like to see Quincy have a couple more good preseason outings before giving him a spot.. Hopeful, but cautiously optimistic since it was just one game
big facts bro. The majority of this fanbase will overreact over any little damn thing it’s crazy. Watch bro shit the bed next game and all this chat will die down. Can’t stand being a laker fan sometimes. The fans are so delusional
Lakers should stop messing around, waive one of the 2 way contract guys and replace him with Quincy. I mean this kid scored 43pts in one college game. He has a beautiful 3pt shot & JJ said he’s doing great in their shooting drills.
In one of the next games Quincy should be given a chance to play 20+minutes against the other teams backup PG. Get an idea of what he can do if called up because of injury. Can he play D, avoid TO`s?
At Xavier for one year Quincy became a fan favorite unlike any player ever has. One night he hit the 10th 3 pointer for the team - Chick-fil-a gives away a free sandwich the next day when ten 3's are made in a game. Quincy went to the nearest Chick-fil-a that next evening and greeted the Xavier fans who came i for the free sandwich. He also was known to go to first grader's school to be the 'special person' for one of the students in class. He apologized for sending out signed T-shirts late. He was always a favorite with not just the student section but the entire arena during games. In one year, Q changed the entire Xavier community like no one else ever has.
Lakers need more of these kind of guys. He's small---it'd be better if he's bigger, but he's fast, looks okay enough in offense and and his effort is 110%, I don't detect laziness, it kind of remind me of the 2020 Lakers with Caruso, KCP. Olivari got that kind of effort and energy minus the size.
Props to olivari he was hard to watch in the summer league he clearly got better his shot in the summer league was high arcing but flat now his shot looks smooth and he's real athletic
Quincy kept his word he is really that guy so glad they didn’t drop him for Koloko even though Blake Hinson is a decent player as well Quincy obviously is more of what coach is demanding.
Guys, let's admit it, if we cannot keep Quincy Olivari, blame LBJ. Bronny, the LBK's mess is -40 in 36 minutes played in the pre-season. LBJ's ego sinks ships. I am looking forward to his retirement so that I don't have to pretend that I appreciate he brought a championship to the Purple and Gold. That said, he was not able to do it before AD came.
don't you think when JJ was talking about wanting other players to play like he did he was talking about the younger guys and newer additions to the roaster not the veteran players. I think JJ knows what he is getting outta the starters already
Quincy Olivara should take JHF or M. Lewis roster spot! Thought DK-4, Castleton-14 and Olivara-41 were good. More than likely, Castleton, Olivara, JHF, M.Lewis and Bronny will be playing in the G-league.
None our veteran players have done that because done of our gaurds can stay with their man like that. Relaise those were 3rd team guys but you can just tell he can play D
Waive Castleton anyone we need to (even Bro my 🙂) but get this guy a spot. I like his energy! Honestly, I don't know why they kept Collin Castleton over Hinson
Hopefully Olivari can be the Next Great Free Agent Story similar to VanVleet, Carushow & AR!!! He will get a chance Our last 3 Preseason Games. And, if He Balls 🏀 Out, He can get a 2-Way Spot bcuz We won’t need Castle & Koloko. Side Note - Castle is a less athletic Version of Jay Huff and His Ceiling is a Bac(k)up Center on a Non-Playoff Team and a 3rd String Center on a Playoff Team.
Why not keep him? The Lakers gotta make this happen. Think about him and Vando on the floor together two high-energy guys. If the Lakers lack anything its the energy & a big man
Can Q sustain this play against the regular NBA players? This reminds me of Matt Ryan who couldn’t. Anyone can shine against G league defenses. He needs to be tested in the 1st & 2nd qtrs against tougher defenders. If he earns a starting spot, then trade DLo for a traditional center and point guard. Waive players who are just not clicking in this JJ offense to patch and round up the weaknesses. GSW will be a good test as they are a dynamic offense. If Q can play offense well while guarding the W’s, he should get a spot.
Olivari last night passed the eye test. As a Lakers fan, we need any and all positive momentum for this year and the future.
I actually am convinced Olivari will eventually take one of the two-way spots. 3 level scorer that injects energy, rebounding and defensive pressure off the bench guard position. Outperforms Bronny and JHS in that role. Very good positional rebounder like Goodwin but Quincy can shoot.

@@concernedcitizen4171I agree with you reminds me of maxi and that lamelo generation of basketball.
He played better than Bronny James in just nine minutes. I can't respect the coaching staff if he continues to play like this and don't make the team.
They need to keep him. You can't find this mentality in today players, and the grind he brings is special.
You can’t have Quincy and Bronny

Oli is more ready than JHS & Bronny tbh
I mean he did play 5 years in college and is at least almost 3 years older than both players
JHS is better.
Quincy over Cam Reddish.
@@matthewdaniel4632 I agree, but that’s what the Lakers need.
@@dmitryowensBased on what? While the bench was on their feet cheering and celebrating with huge smiles in the 4th quarter, I noticed JHS. He wasn't smiling.

Quincy Olivari has the sense of urgency that the Lakers need within all of the players and new coaching staff.
You can’t have Quincy and Bronny 😂
If Quincy is the blue print for what we are looking for then its a no brainer. Keep him
Was going to like but 24 likes 💜💛
After that performance they better keep this dude!!!
Browny gonna take that roster spot
Knowing this team they will watch him go to another team like how they allowed Scottie Pippen's son to walk he's going to be a superstar
@Purebadness242 Did you just say Scottie Pippen Jr is going t9 be a superstar? 😂
@@Purebadness242 Scotty Pippen Jr? Ain’t no way you just said that! 💀💀
@melvincuaresma-SW yes I did go watch him last season he beat LA by himself last season in a game
Yet Bronny is clogging a roster spot to produce 0-0-0-0-0 stat line.That joke must stop

@@trgrgtgrtgr7724when it’s matter as the 4 other players on the court.
@@trgrgtgrtgr7724 Cope harder!
You can tell when all the young guys got in they all wanted to get that win for Coach JJ. Whatever JJs doing keep doing the guys love playing for him.
Man it's so refreshing to see a coach who's communicating with his players instead of hands in his pockets ham.
With Q can defend and shoot the lakers can afford to lose JHS in trade saw a lot from him in 9 mins than I seen JHS in 2 seasons
Yes, JHS Lewis and bronny need to be in the G league ,Add Quincy Koloko and Traore needs to be on the mean roster.
Koloko is trash @@shavaraparker3780
I believe the Lakers will keep him, I think Quincy and Knect will remain Lakers and Quincy will become a rotation player in the near future
Agreed
Do you guys even know how the business side works? We're not in a position to keep him.
@@Moxiie-r1q if it's good for business, business makes it happen.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fam You can’t have Quincy and Bronny
Dude cooked up ! 🔥
Great mindset from Quincy. You have to really like his industriousness and enthusiasm.
Great great story and this team needs someone who can come and give some spark. Very inspirational!
Watching this guy play gave me Vando vibes. Energy and effort
If Only Bronny was on a 2-way and we had an open roster spot.
True, but, LeBron wanted him on the roster. The should look to get rid of Cam Reddish. I don’t see him getting any playing time as his role will go to Christie and Knecht
Send Bronny to the G league, J Hood is horrible too
He won t stay...Bronny will..have trouble dealing with it..This is what the league has become
Well at least Lebron got his photo op.......
I’d rather have Cam’s defensive capabilities than Bronny’s. Something like this won’t be the reason they don’t win the chip but it does limit the fine margins of improving the roster.
bro that guy is like all star level. 9 miutes bro. i felt his energy. what would he do if they gave him 30 minutes.
By the way! I appreciate you Trevor!!! And I love your Laker Nation podcast/channel 🔥🔥🎉🙏😁

This dude is a hooper. Grabs the rebounds, pushes the ball down the court with pace, makes the right play.
TREV, they used an audio clip of you in the starting 5 documentary on netflix, i heard your voice and recognized it right away
i watched that interview for quincy and this dude has a high character. hope he gets chance because he can play in pro.
He showed up and showed out! Same as he did at Xavier!! About time the rest of the country is taking notice. He did #Quincinnati proud!! ⚔️
Quincy has the skills lakers need in a guard. Quick, explosive that can shoot and defend. Idk we should keep him at least on a 2 way.
Looking forward to seeing more of Quincy
And less of Bronny and JHS.
I was there 💛💜 let’s go LAKERS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I honestly think bronny just need a break out game. A game where he get like 10 to 15 points and that will spark his confidence.

How about a breakout season in the G-league to properly prepare for the NBA? He can play a couple games with Dad to set the record as well.
@@michaelfarley832 I meant in general.
Bronny is not ready for the NBA - he is g-league ready
A break out game for Bronny would more likely be on the defensive side, more rebounds or blocks. Unfortunately, Bronny is poor in every offensive category.
He is the X factor this team needs
He played like a man on a mission. Lakers need that.
Cincinnati Xavier’s own…str8 baller, LAKERS BE SMART HERE
Lakers should not let Quincey Olivari go anywhere, he is an Impact player at his young age, a winner, and the Lakers can be a winner if they keep him. There are other players on this team who are not impact players. CK, CC, etc!!!
Like BJJ too....
He is the most talented young guy in the team with the greatest potential too.
Ham’s lack of a lot of things getting exposed day after day.
what does that matter now?
@@jameschan9634 Ham doesn’t, but JJ’s upside and impact do matter.
@@jprsnts If he doesn't matter, why did you bring him up??? LeBLAME has taught you well.

100% facts bro. It’s frustrating to see a roster spot GIVEN rather than EARNED. People be straight lying to themselves if they think he’s ready.
They can keep anyone, if Jeannie grows a pair and get rid of Bronny.
I was tripped out watching him play, looked like slim Charles from the wire just lighting up an NBA court lol
Imagine the hype if bronny played like that 😂
He can play our quick speed guy role. Nobody else can keep up with the fast guards in the NBA. We need him. lets see how the lakers crew this up.

Didn't see him go left once. Hope he unlocks it.
I wonder how Bronny feels knowing he's gonna take a spot from a dude who actually earned it?
"Q Time" last Night deserves a first half stint with the rotation next game.
He played lakerless basketball. The energy was felt.
Wish I could have enjoyed the game
Damn internet went to heck for some reason last night
It took me 4 hours to watch the game
Lakers please keep this player he has the right mentality a winning mentality he is the blueprint of Lakers of old
Watch He gone have one good game next game gone drop off lol
They definitely need some bench production
We got to keep and drop trade some of our other bums like jhs or castleton or cam, or whoever
Wow no knock on this young man game beautiful, BUT isn’t this what we’re LOOKING for with James Jr.No knock!😮😊
Quincy Olivara should take JHF or M. Lewis roster spot! Thought DK-4, Castleton-14 and Olivara-41 were good. More than likely, Castleton, Olivara, JHF, M.Lewis and Bronny will be playing in the G-league.
Jhf?
I'm not sold like you all are on one pre season game, I need to see more. People who play for the Lakers, legit lose their powers.
Trevor! You didn’t address the elephant in the room! How does Olivari’s play affect bronny?? Keep it up love your work
they need to keep him we need all player that can hit three they let one go wow this team
None our veteran players have done that because done of our gaurds can stay with their man like that. Relaise those were 3rd team guys but you can just tell he can play D
Quincy should be exactly in Bronny's spot/place basically Bronny should be exactly on an exhibit-10 contract.
We should keep QO. He’s the very energy guy and good shooting guard
Waive Castleton anyone we need to (even Bro my 🙂) but get this guy a spot. I like his energy! Honestly, I don't know why they kept Collin Castleton over Hinson
Where was he in the first 2 games?

Hopefully Lakers executives will realize it will be a smart investment to keep Oliveri.
Seen enough mvp give him the max
His play kinda reminds me of holiday from Celtics
