Until now put under incubator by the Los Angeles Lakers, Armel Traore doesn't seem to want to stop since his frankness gives him a little leeway. A few hours after becoming the 51st Frenchman to enter an NBA match, the former Blésois produced a great performance in the G-League.
For his second outing of the season in the Association's antechamber, Armel Traoré (2.05 m, 21 years old) made an impression. Opposed to the Stockton Kings with their South Bay Lakers team, the Habs sent 25 points on 7/16 shots, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 caused fouls and 5 lost balls in 34 minutes of play. however, did not allow its franchise to win (defeat 127 to 122). But above all, Nolan Traoré's big brother continues to score big points with the Los Angeles Lakers staff, he who is already well regarded by coach JJ Redick.
Holder of a two-way contract, this was only the 2nd G-League match for Armel Traoré, previously requisitioned on numerous occasions by the Los Angeles Lakers. And if he continues like this, he could have more appearances in the Big League than in the G-League…
