LA Lakers vs Golden State Warriors preview
The Lakers moved up from the No. 55 pick to No. 36 to get their hands on Adou Thiero in the 2025 draft. Thiero has much upside and has a solid motor defensively, making him a promising acquisition. He lacks range, though, and will need to work on his 3-point shot to make a place for himself in the league.
The Lakers should have quite a formidable Summer League core between Bronny James, Adou Thiero and Dalton Knecht.
Meanwhile, the Warriors drafted Alex Toohey and Will Richard with the 52nd and 56th picks, respectively. Both players have displayed a lot of promise on the defensive end and can also shoot from beyond the arc.
If they perform in the Summer League, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them get regular minutes next season. Isaiah Mobley and Marques Bolden of Golden State are also ones to look out for on Saturday.

Sameer’s gaming journey began with Rockstar Games’ GTA franchise, specifically
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. He strongly prefers multiplayer games, with FPS being his favorite genre, and has devoted 6K+ hours to CS:GO! However, he also dabbles in open-world, story-based games from time to time. Solo RPGs like Horizon Forbidden West hold a soft spot in his heart, and he would readily drop in it given a Jumanji-type scenario.
Sameer makes sure to follow Counter-Strike and Valorant esports tournaments, as he believes that watching a game being played at the highest level can be highly educational. He derives inspiration from Tarik’s meteoric rise to become one of the biggest FPS streamers in the world following the release of Valorant.
Outside of work, you can find Sameer playing football or cheering for FC Barcelona. He also likes to read and write poetry.
