REPORT: Quincy Olivari is dominating the G League with the South Bay Lakers

After a preseason where he played his way into a two-way contract and became a fan favorite, Quincy Olivari has not slowed down in the G League.

Over the weekend, South Bay dropped a pair of games, losing to the Santa Cruz Warriors on Friday and the Stockton Kings on Sunday, but both featured Olivari showing out.

Olivari was far and away the best play on the court during Friday’s matchup, scoring 33 points, grabbing six rebounds and dishing out five assists. He also converted on five 3-pointers. Against the Kings, he impressed again with 24 points, nine assists and three rebounds.

What’s made these performances even more impressive is that he’s doing it with teams clearly focused on stopping him. The Kings were getting really physical with Olivari, but he handled it well and could still get his shots and convert on 46% of his attempts.

If Olivari continues to shine and the team struggles to have guards who can score even one point — Gabe Vincent *cough* — then he could get a call-up soon.

Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell certainly thinks Olivari deserves to play with the main team, saying he looked “too good” during the South Bay season opener.

Bronny James is not currently traveling on the road with the South Bay Lakers. He only participated in Sunday’s game and produced a mediocre stat line of four points, two rebounds, and two assists.

After the game, South Bay coach Zach Guthrie talked about the team being patient with Bronny’s process and his overall displeasure with his team’s level of defensive effort in the Sunday loss.
