The Lakers performed mediocrely in the summer league, and the backcourt scorer will move to the Serie A next?

Serie A team Dolomiti Energia Trentino officially announced that the team has signed US backcourt player DJ Steward. Steward signed a three-year contract with the team, and he will also appear in Europe for the first time next season.

Stulder was born in October 2001 and is 23 years old, 188cm tall and weighs 73kg. He is a undraft in the 2021 NBA Draft. Steward has been working hard in the NBA Development League over the past few seasons. Steward got a two-way contract from the Bulls last summer, but he didn't get a chance to play in the NBA. He first played for the Bulls' subordinate team, the Wind City Bulls, and then after being cut by the Bulls, he returned to the Memphis Grizzlies' subordinate team, which he had previously played for, to play hard. In the NBA Development League regular season last season, Steward played 45 times for the Wind City Bulls and Memphis, with averaging 33 minutes per game, with averaging 19.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 2.6 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 47.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 36.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 86.4%.

Stulder performed quite well in the NBA Development League. He has good scoring ability, his offensive efficiency is relatively stable, and he can also undertake some passing and organizational tasks. Steward has proved that he can play his worth while holding a lot of ball rights, and he is also a top star in the NBA Development League. But he has never been able to get a chance in the NBA arena, and he has not finished his appearance in the NBA so far, which is indeed a bit regrettable.

In the previous NBA Summer League, Steward played 8 games for the Los Angeles Lakers, averaging 24.6 minutes per game, averaging 11.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers and 0.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 42.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40.9%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 88.9%. Steward's performance during the summer league was not bad, but his performance was really not stable. He could show super scoring ability at some times, but at other times he was a superb performance on the court, which was even very disappointing. Steward's performance in the summer league cannot attract the attention of the Lakers or other NBA teams, and he can only choose to switch to the overseas league. I wonder what kind of performance Steward will perform in the overseas league next time. Will he have a chance to attract the attention of some NBA teams?
