Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in. Trevor Lane here for LakersNation.com. This is the Lakersnation.com podcast. We are coming to you from the Blue Wire Studios at the win in Las Vegas. We're out here covering Summer League. We've got a full desk today. Plenty of pundits here to talk. We've got, of course, editor extraordinaire Daniel Starkand as well as our contest winners we've got

on kit and Colby guys welcome in thanks for having us yeah thanks for us glad to have you guys out in

Las Vegas to talk a little lakers basketball the lakers do finally pick up the win uh against the

golden state warriors last night I had to put out there on Twitter so the lakers beat the warriors

again and Daniel had the same idea from the Lakers Nation account. Always a good day when you can beat the Warriors and those fans that we see so much on social media. But let's start there. Let's start with the Lakers win over the Warriors. We've got a lot of things to talk about today, including some interesting comments from Rob Polenka. Let's start, though, with the

win over the Warriors. Daniel, what did you see from that game that particularly stood out?

Why did they win this one after losing their previous two? I mean, I'd say it's been pretty much

the same. It's been a lot of Max Christie. He's looked great. He's continuing to develop more on

ball stuff. He had an awesome poster

dunk at the end of the second quarter there. And then all these other guys are just kind of chipping

in. Like Colin Castleton continues to fill up the stat sheet. He's pretty versatile for a big man.

You know, Des Moie Hodge is looking like a three-and-d guy, you know, Alex Fudge showing some flashes.

And then Cole Swider, I think he had his best game and he kind of closed it out there at the end, hit a big three, and actually had a little dunk through some contact there.

So all around team effort, but I think Max Christie has kind of been stepped up as the leader of this group and

he's really impressed me on kent what are your thoughts on on max christi i think he's really really

taking his game to another level oh yeah it's been super exciting seeing max christie develop three

three level score that dunk during the game that he had taking Taking it to the rim was outrageous.

I was sitting a few rows back and he raised up.

I was like, no, he's not about to do that.

And he just drilled at home.

But I think you really starting to see his maturity, which is fantastic.

That backup role for the two spot behind Austin Reeves is his spot to take or his spot to lose. So it's nice to see him really separate from the pack and, you know, make a run at that, you know, getting good minutes for us this coming season. So it's nice to see that development. I think he is going to take on that backup two roles. See, he seems determined to get it. In fact, Daniel, you had a really great interaction with him last night in the post-game
