🔥 From Blue Devil to Bright Star: DJ Steward Shines in Lakers’ Summer League
DJ Steward is making waves in the NBA Summer League — and the Lakers are taking notice.
The former Duke Blue Devil has been on a mission to prove he belongs on the biggest stage, and so far, he’s doing exactly that. In a lineup full of hungry young talent, Steward is standing out with his confident shot-making, smart decision-making, and relentless hustle on both ends of the floor.
After going undrafted in 2021, Steward bounced around the G League, steadily developing his game and growing into a more mature, composed guard. Now, with the Lakers’ Summer League squad, he’s showcasing the full range of his abilities. Whether it’s pulling up for smooth mid-range jumpers, creating off the dribble, or locking in defensively, Steward is doing it all — and doing it with style.
What makes Steward’s performance even more impressive is his efficiency. He’s not just scoring, he’s scoring smartly — taking good shots, keeping the ball moving, and proving he can run an offense with poise. In today’s fast-paced NBA, versatility and composure are everything, and Steward is checking those boxes.
While nothing is guaranteed in Summer League, Steward is clearly making the most of his opportunity. With the Lakers in need of young, cost-effective backcourt depth, he may be positioning himself for more than just a training camp invite.
The journey from college standout to NBA regular is rarely easy — but DJ Steward is proving he’s got the skill, mindset, and heart to take that leap.
If he keeps this up, don’t be surprised if the Blue Devil turns into a full-time Laker.
