Scotty Pippen Jr., son of Bulls legend Scottie Pippen, had an impressive college career at Vanderbilt, but still found himself on the outside looking in for the 2022 NBA draft.
The Lakers took advantage of Pippen going undrafted and brought him in on a two-way contract. He’s already impressed one of the most significant people in the organization: superstar forward LeBron James.
James had a chance to see Pippen perform in person in Summer League, and the former Commodore did not disappoint. In the Lakers’ first game in Las Vegas, he led the team with 19 points, adding four rebounds, three assists and three steals.
