Preseason games may not count for anything in the grand scheme of it all but that does not stop basketball fans from getting attached to certain players and narratives. That is certainly true of Los Angeles Lakers fans, who took a liking to undrafted guard RJ Davis.
Constructing an NBA roster is a numbers game and even with a strong preseason performance, the numbers were not on Davis' side. Davis was one of four players waived by the Lakers on Saturday with the preseason officially coming to a close.
Augustus Marciulionis, Anton Watson, and Nate Williams were also part of the roster trimdown.
