Nine-year NBA veteran calls Lakers player a disappointment

Nine-year NBA veteran calls Lakers player a disappointment

Gabe Vincent was a player with high expectations for the Los Angeles Lakers. He was the three-point shooter the team desperately needed for years. When he was signed by the Miami Heat, it seemed like the Lakers had made a big move.

Unfortunately for both Lakers, Gabe Vincent failed to accomplish anything close to what the team needed. In 18 games this season, Vincent averaged 2.8 points on 30/21/50 shooting from the field. His play has led many, including former players, to describe his signing as a disappointment.

Former Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons spoke about Vincent’s lack of influence on FanDuelTV’s Run it Back show.

“Honestly, Gabe Vincent, to me he was a little bit of a disappointment to them,” Parsons said. “He has to get going. He needs to be more of a second-line option to get 20 (points) on certain nights, get downhill and make shots. He hasn’t done that yet in a Lakers jersey.”

Granted, Vincent’s minutes have dropped to just 16.8 per game, but he still hasn’t given the Lakers a reason to play him anymore. When Vincent played for Miami before signing with the Lakers, he averaged 9.4 minutes, 2.5 assists and 2.1 rebounds on 40/33/87 shooting from the field. It was his performance in the playoffs that earned Vincent his contract, but it appears that may have been an aberration.
