If the playoffs are the stage for teams competing for the championship, then the draft is the stage for teams that missed the playoffs. Last season, among the list of teams that missed the playoffs, everyone saw that Los Angeles The Lakers' name was on the list, and everyone couldn't help laughing; because the team has three All-Stars in James, Davis, and Westbrook, and is equipped with Howard, Anthony, and Jr. The team with experienced players such as Jordan, Ellington, Rondo and Ariza looked like it would sweep the entire league. Unexpectedly, it was so vulnerable and lacked competitiveness that it ended up not even qualifying for the playoffs. There is no qualification to participate.

To make matters worse, since the Purple and Gold Army had given away its own draft picks in the previous thick eyebrow brother transaction, it only helped the New Orleans Pelicans obtain a high-ranking draft pick. soldiers". After the regular season, Vogel sadly left Los Angeles, and Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach Ham became his successor.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that a coaching change is just a "change of soup without changing the medicine" operation. How to equip the Zhanmei combination with suitable players is the winner of success or failure in the offseason; Pelinka, the team's general manager, believes that in addition to the injuries to core players last season, In addition to being too ill and incompatible with the team, he also lacks young players with excellent athletic ability.

Therefore, he decided to add a group of young players in the offseason, and the draft is a good opportunity. Although he has no draft picks, Pelinka applied for a sum of cash from owner Jeannie Buss to purchase one or two draft picks to inject fresh blood into the Purple and Gold Army. "The public searched for him for thousands of times, but when I suddenly looked back, he was in the dim light." After his efforts, the Lakers finally obtained the No. 235 pick from the Orlando Magic. For this reason, they sent out the second round pick in 2028. Sign and part cash . In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Michigan State guard Max Christie with the No. 35 pick in the 2022 draft.

Christie's advantages and disadvantages are relatively obvious, but as a 19-year-old young man, he still has a long time to perfect his game. After all, his body size and shooting ability are obvious to all, and The main disadvantages can slowly improve with experience and polish, but the Lakers have the patience to wait for him to grow.

The competitive status of James and Westbrook is in decline. Brother Big Eyebrow is addicted to games and seems to have lost his courage as before. Therefore, the Lakers need talented newcomers to supplement them. Christie can improve the team's comprehensive ability and will become An important member of the future of the Purple and Gold Army. For Christie, if he can be selected by the Lakers, he will win the attention of the outside world and even surpass the No. 1 pick and No. 2 pick, so it will invisibly put a huge psychological pressure on him. If he can withstand it, he will become a winner in life.
