Bazley has reached double digits in rebounds in both of the Lakers’ games in Las Vegas, and he was especially impactful defensively on Saturday. The 2019 first-round pick blocked five shots and recorded two steals against the Pelicans, which undoubtedly compensated for his poor night at the foul line. Whether it’s with the Lakers or another team, Bazley being valuable as a rebounder and defender is critical to earning another shot in the NBA.

A first-round pick in the 2019 draft, Bazley is looking to earn another opportunity in the NBA. While he did not provide much value as a scorer on Thursday, the rebounding and defensive ability stood out in the Lakers’ two-point defeat. Despite Trey Jemison II and Christian Koloko being on the roster, Bazley was the starting center against the Mavericks. If Bazley can take on those assignments defensively, that may help his chances of returning to the NBA.
