Quincy Olivari is coming off an excellent season of college basketball for Xavier.

He finished the year with averages of 19.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting 42.5% from the field and 40.9% from the three-point range in 34 games.

This summer, Olivari went unselected in the 2024 NBA Draft.

The 23-year-old has proven to be a very reliable three-point shooter.

While he likely will not make the roster, Olivari could be an intriguing player for the South Bay Lakers (G League).

There is no question that he could be a candidate for a two-way (or 10-day) contract during the season.

Truly enjoyed this conversation with Lakers guard @quincyolivari. Keep an eye out for him! He told his story, shared his history with JJ Redick, where his game gets overlooked and his mindset as he makes the leap to the pros. Don’t miss it!https://t.co/ZYN9bWFFMF pic.twitter.com/ez7t1B28rC
