Mamukelashvili plays the delay and makes reads when he is the small ball five.

“If it's a small ball five, I play the delay, I kind of make, like, right reads, and if not, then I just kind of compliment them as much as possible.”

Mamukelashvili wants to improve his rebounding and defense so he is trusted and not a liability.

“I also want to just work on my rebounding and defensively, I just want to be a guy you can trust, you know, I don't want to be liability”

Lakers hope for news soon and a look at full strength in one game.

“Would love to get some news on some people in the next few days and be able to see what you know we look like at full strength at least in one of these games.”

Demin sees himself as a versatile player and wants to help the team anywhere.

“I've been saying at all times to Jordi and the other coaches that I'm seeing myself as a very versatile player in the future and that I want to be anywhere I can benefit the team. I'm a winner, so I want to win as much as I can.”

The Lakers wings keep impressing defensively with activity and deflections.

“Adou Thiero, Matisse Thybulle and Jake LaRavia (and Ziaire Williams who is out tonight) all continue to impress on the wings defensively. Activity, pressure, hands, deflections. All without a traditional low man. Adding Walker Kessler to the backline will be interesting.”
