Kenneth Lofton Jr. News
Memphis Grizzlies forward Kenneth Lofton Jr. grabbed another double-double despite taking a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday afternoon. The young power forward ended the game with 24 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and two steals while shooting 9-for-12 from the floor and 2-for-4 from deep. He did struggle taking care of the ball in this game as he turned it over seven times but that seems to be a common theme in summer league as everyone is forcing offense to impress scouts and coaches. Lofton should see some minutes here and there next season but is far from the fantasy radar for now.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Kenneth Lofton Jr. was doing a bit of everything during Monday's Summer League matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lofton is looking to lock down a rotation spot for himself ahead of next season. Well, performances like this are certainly going to help his case. On Monday, Lofton finished with 15 points, six rebounds, four assists, four steals, and one block in 28 minutes. The 20-year-old only played 7.3 minutes per game in 20 contests with Memphis last season. Lofton has shown he has the potential to be a legitimate contributor, so we'll see where he ends up in the rotation.

However, he's already demonstrated great potential by becoming the first player in NBA history to put up at least 40 points and 10 rebounds in his first career start since the league began tracking starts in 1970-71.
