With the Lakers’ top talent sidelined, players like Mason Jones and Stanley Johnson make the most of their minutes on the court.
LOS ANGELES — Every minute is a job interview. Mason Jones knows this, which might be why he flung himself into the courtside seats more than once on Friday night – chasing every loose ball like his future depended on it.The second-runner up for G League MVP had just played 43 minutes the night before as the South Bay Lakers were eliminated by just two points from the playoffs. Jones had scored a team-high 33 points, and was disappointed to lose.
Traditionally, the Lakers universe tends to revolve around the stars. Blockbuster players are viewed as what can make or break the team. But one of the lessons of this season’s failures: The Devil might just be in the details. But the Fullerton native pledged he would be working this summer as if he were coming back to the franchise. After playing out three 10-day contracts before getting signed in January, Johnson wants a shot at a full offseason going into next year.
