The most interesting rookie for the Lakers is not Jalen Hood-Schifino

In the 2023 NBA Draft, the Lakers received a lot of backlash after his two draft picks and the two undrafted two-way signings, but after the Summer League, the two-way players have shown a lot of potential.

Out of the four new rookies, the undrafted players Colin Castleton, and D'Moi Hodge, are showing they are NBA-ready and have a lot of talent for a promising career in the league.

D'Moi Hodge was a guard the Lakers signed without making any noise and has become the most underrated pick as he has been a solid player for the team in the Summer League.

Hodge has shown he is NBA-ready and the best player from the 2023 NBA draft for the LA Lakers. Colin Castleton and D'Moi Hodge have the Lakers fans enthusiastic and wanting both to be part of coach Ham's rotations in the next season.

The Lakes fans want Colin Castleton to sign a standard contract with LA

After the Laker's victory in their last Summer League game, Colin Castleton has shown he is an excellent asset for the short future of the franchise. The fans want Pelinka and Ham to sign the undrafted rookie with a standard contract and for Colin to become the backup center instead of signing another big one.
