Which players averaged under 8 PPG as a rookie have also played for the Lakers and Magic? NBA Crossover Grid answers for September 30

It's Day 94 of the NBA Crossover Grid, and its latest puzzle dropped on September 30.

There are two special categories for Saturday's puzzle: A player who scored 15,000 or more career points and a player who averaged under 8.0 points per game as a rookie.

Players can also now solve any puzzles they missed, as the original basketball grid game was created with the feature called "Grid History."

Here's the clues for Saturday's NBA Crossover Grid:

Here's a closer look at Grids 3 and 6 for Saturday's NBA Crossover Grid: Which players averaged under 8.0 points per game as a rookie and have also played for the LA Lakers and Orlando Magic?

Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players in NBA history and arguably among the top three of the greatest players in Lakers history. Bryant is known for his scoring prowess, but did you know that he only averaged 7.6 points per game as a rookie?

He started just seven games in his first two years in the league before breaking out in the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season.

Meanwhile, Aaron Gordon recently became an NBA champion with the Denver Nuggets. However, before that, Gordon was a languishing prospect for the Magic. He was the No. 4 pick in the 2014 NBA draft but averaged just 5.2 points per game as a rookie.
