The adventure could continue for Scotty Pippen Jr. to the Lakers. Undrafted last year when he left Vanderbilt, he made his professional debut in the G-League, at the South Bay Lakers this season, where he performed rather well (22.2 points, 5.2 assists on average over 35 games ). Signed on a “two-way contract”, the son of the Bulls legend was also able to play six NBA games for 31 minutes of play in total.
If he is not one of the three players currently signed on a “two-way contract” for next season, Scotty Pippen Jr. will still be there during training camp. After announcing the signing of Christian Wood two days ago, the Californian franchise has revealed the names of the four guests of its “training camp”: Vincent Valerio-Bodon, Damion Baugh, Bryce Hamilton and therefore Scotty Pippen Jr.
It will be up to the playmaker to show that he has his place within Darvin Ham’s extensive roster. After all, there is still one free spot since only 14 players are currently under guaranteed contract. The Lakers could also take him on a two-way contract or integrate him back into their G-League team.
