As the Summer League team’s starting point guard, the Lakers want to see James be more assertive with his decision-making in crucial moments, according to assistant coach Lindsey Harding. Los Angeles wants to see James have the ball in his hands as much as possible, particularly in “tight moments.”

On Monday Las Vegas Summer League will feature the battle of Los Angeles between the Lakers and the Clippers. This is the purple and gold’s third game of the tournament and a win in this one will strengthen their chance to qualify for the semifinals round.
