In a previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 67-58. After this game, the Clippers have won three consecutive victories in the summer league, with their current record of 3 wins and 0 losses, while the Lakers' current record in the summer league has dropped to 1 wins and 2 losses.

In this game, the Clippers' starting point guard Zavier Simpson performed quite well. Simpson played 28 minutes and 48 seconds in the game, made 4 of 8 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of +13. Simpson continued to maintain sufficient stability on the offensive end, and he also scored a lot of points through various methods, proving that he had good scoring ability and rich offensive methods. Simpson also has a good effect in passing and organizing, and is a reliable organizer. Simpson also performed well on the defensive end, and his personal defensive ability is worthy of recognition. In this game, Simpson once again showed his comprehensive value when he didn't make many shots, and he once again proved that he was an all-round backcourt player with both offense and defense.

Summer League so far, Simpson has averaged 26.6 minutes in the first three games, with averaging 11 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 52.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 60%. Simpson's performance during the summer league was quite stable, his offensive efficiency was quite good, his scoring ability was relatively stable, his passing and organizational ability have always been very online, and he is an extremely outstanding defender on the defensive end. His single defense ability and assistive defense ability are excellent, and he can also limit players from multiple positions. Simpson's outstanding performance is also an important factor in the team's ability to maintain high competitiveness in the summer league so far.

Simpson is still in a free agent state. Although he has had some NBA appearances before and has been dormant in the NBA Development League for many years, it seems that he still needs to further prove his strength to win a contract for himself. We don't know if Simpson's all-round performance in the summer league can impress the Clippers or other teams' uniforms. No matter how you look at it, Simpson is a player with outstanding comprehensive abilities. His performance on both offense and defense is obvious to all. Can he return to the NBA in the new season?
