There's no doubt that Max Christie is ready to be in coach Darvin Ham's rotation, as he has been looking like an NBA player already too good for Summer League.

And while all the Lakers fans love what Christie is doing on the court, coach Ham is looking to other players and getting his attention towards the 2023 NBA Draft pick Jalen Hodd-Schifino.

Max has shown his growth after his year in the NBA, but with expectations being high on the No. 17 overall pick in the latest Draft, the purple and gold hopes are set in Schifino.

Ham said about the rookie, "He has the potential to help us and help us immediately." Darvin is implying Jalen will be getting enough time to show himself in the NBA, something he didn't do for Max Christie in the previous campaign.

D'Moi Hodge is showing he does feel like a KCP 2.0

Recently Hodge said that he is trying to get his game like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and in tonight's game, he proved it; he had 22 points, four rebounds, 8/15 FG, and 6/12 3PT.
