In a previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 106-84. After this game, the Nuggets' record in the summer league increased to 2 wins and 3 losses; while the Lakers' record in the summer league fell to 1 wins and 4 losses.

In this game, Nuggets' substitute backcourt rookie Reyne Smith made his debut in the summer league. Smith played 26 minutes and 23 seconds in the game, made 6 of 15 shots and 5 of 13 from outside the three-point line, scoring the second highest score of 17 points plus 1 rebound and 3 assists, and had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +24. Smith got a lot of opportunities to shoot outside on the offensive end, and he maintained good offensive efficiency and proved that he had very good shooting ability and scoring ability. Apart from that, Smith seems to have some talent in passing and organizing. Smith's performance on the defensive end is average, but he provides a lot of support for the team on the offensive end. The team's situation is also quite good when he is on the court, which can also be reflected in his super high positive and negative values. His series of performances have also made considerable contributions to the team's victory.

Smith, from Australia, was born in October 2002. He is 22 years old, 188cm tall and 82kg. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. Smith transferred from Charleston University to join the University of Louisville last season. He made a total of 31 appearances in the NCAA last season, averaging 30.4 minutes per game, averaging 13.1 points, 2.8 Lebanon 0.8 assists 0.6 steals 0.1 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 39.1% from the field, 37.9% from three-point shooting percentage and 94.4% from free throws. Smith is a good pitcher. His three-point shooting percentage in the NCAA four seasons was 37.3%, but his abilities in other aspects are very average. His role in passing, organizing and defense is very limited. In addition, he is old and talented, so it is reasonable for him to become a undraft.

Smith had no chance to play before, which also shows that the Nuggets Summer League coaching staff did not recognize his ability. Unexpectedly, in this game, Smith, who had a rare playing time and performance opportunity, beat the Lakers as soon as he came out, which also shows how bad the Lakers' summer league lineup is. We don't understand it very well. Other teams can find some undrafts with good abilities when they tear up. When it comes to the Lakers, they still need to rely on some players who have been playing in the NBA for many years to save the situation. There seems to be some problems in their uniform group in terms of vision.
