Rookie’s patience could turn into Lakers’ spark
Adou Thiero hasn’t played yet due to his knee injury, but the Lakers’ No. 36 pick is ready to grind for both Los Angeles and South Bay. He says he’ll do whatever the coaches need—basically the NBA’s version of a Swiss Army knife in sneakers.
The Pennsylvania native, who idolises Derrick Rose, now wears No. 1 and wants to build his own story. If his defence hits as hard as his attitude, Lakers fans could be cheering another South Bay success soon.
