Thus far in Summer League competition, the sort-of-Lakers have played twice, and lost twice. Not that it matters, since final scores are among the least important aspects of the competition in Vegas, to the point it's reasonable to ask why they bother keeping score.
The primary purpose is player development and evaluation, and while everything happening there comes with a very important caveat -- it may be the NBA"s Summer League, but Summer League ain't the NBA -- on that end the Lakers are off to a good start. Both of their second-round picks, small forward Devin Ebanks and power forward Derrick Caracter, have impressed. As ESPNLA.com's Dave McMenamin notes, so has Ibrahim Jaaber, looking to fill what could be a vacant spot as the fifth guard on the depth chart.
