- Lonny Walker
① Against the Warriors, Walker scored 5 points for 2 of 7 shots;
② Against the Clippers , Walker scored 26 points for 9 of 21 shots;
③ Against the Trail Blazers , Walker scored 15 points for 7 of 13 shots;
From the data, Walker's performance since the start of the game, to be precise, the offensive end is getting better and better. Taking the game against the Trail Blazers as an example, its 53.8% shooting percentage is higher than the 52.9% of 's .
Not only that, Walker also showed a certain ability to hold the ball and attack.
① Breakthrough
Average of 8.0 breakthroughs per game, the shooting rate is as high as 71.4%, in the breakthrough, 3.0 passes can also be used to convert 1.0 assists. This shows that you have a certain ability to break through the ball and pass the ball .
From this data, in the near future, you can share the pressure of James ; when the team is in scoring drought, you can use breakthroughs to hit the opponent's inside and be injured.
Based on this, can help Lakers score 1.1 points per 100 rounds . In other words, being present is a place that promotes the team's winning.
According to the above data, I think it is still very cost-effective for the Lakers to sign Lonnie Walker with 6.5 million yuan in one year.
My understanding is:
is not only the team's third scoring point, but also this ball-holding offense can also enrich the team's skills and tactics to a certain extent.
are also some middle-class contracts. Let’s take a look at the performance of Kendrick Nunn .
—Data
①Preseason
in the five preseason games that represented the Lakers Nunn averaged 12.6 points per game, with a shooting percentage of 48%/40.7%/80% in three events.
There are two points worth mentioning about the basic data:
, with 12.6 points per game averaged 19.4 minutes, which can be said to be very efficient;
, with 2.2 three-pointers per game averaged and a shooting rate of up to 40.7%, which can be said to have very good outside finishing ability.
②Regular season
averaged 4.3 points per game in the three regular season games he played, with a shooting percentage of 26.3%/23.1%/0% in three events.
Comparison of preseason and regular season data shows that the contrast between Nunn is really too big. This is not only reflected in the overall offense, but also in the end of the outside line.
Based on this, in my opinion, the Lakers' 530 (annual salary of 22-23 season) will probably be wasted, which is reflected in two aspects:
, one of them, in the data.
's excellent performance in the preseason almost dispelled fans' doubts that they were unstable after returning from injury, and could become the third scoring point of the team after "Jack James".
The second is technical and tactical.
As I said just now, Nunn showed a very good outside finishing ability in the preseason - is close, and can end stably on the outside; retreat, which can restrain the defenders to open up space for teammates' offense.
At the same time, it can play pick-and-roll with Thick Eyebrow, James and others. In terms of
data, Nunn, who was still in Heat in the 20-21 season, scored 0.91 points per round when the ball pick-and-roll accounted for 27.2% of the individual offense, which is better than 62.3% of the league's players.
But now, this is not the case at all. When Nunn was on the court, the Lakers' net efficiency was -38.2, which is the last in the team. . This means that the Lakers lost to their opponents 38.2 points per 100 rounds.
Based on this, from a certain extent, Nunn is completely a "burden" existence of the Lakers. From this perspective, 5.3 million will be wasted.
The better the Walker plays, the better the . Nunn's plays, the worse the more he plays. So in my opinion, for the Lakers at this stage, using Nunn's exchange for , which was once known as George Jr., is a positive solution.
One thing to be said is that Redish was once called George Little. On the one hand, the best template for the former draft is Paul George ; on the other hand, both of them are No. 10.
From the perspective of immediate combat power, Reddish has averaged 14.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game so far in the regular season.
From the perspective of body shape, Reddish, who is 201 tall and weighs 98 kg, is a standard forward line, and has a certain ability to defend against the front line - 37.4% of the time, limiting its hit rate by 33.3%.
, for example, against Drummond Bain, he was limited to 2 of 6 shots.
From the above two points, first of all, Reddish has good combat power; secondly, it is a standard forward and has a certain ability to defend against the front line. These two points are exactly what the Lakers urgently need at this stage, especially the second point.
Regarding the second point, let’s look at two strengths:
① Wiggins When facing the Lakers, he scored 20 points for 8 of 14 shots;
② When facing the Lakers, Jeremy Grant scored 16 points for 5 of 11 shots;
From the data, the forward line can always easily complete the score against the Lakers.
Of course, in addition to saying that Nunn exchanges for Reddish is the right way to eliminate the latter's ability to fight, there is another possibility that the Lakers can get.
As time goes by, Reddish has arrived in the contract year, but when the Knicks forward line is controlled by RJ Barrett and Randall , it is difficult for the former to get a stable chance of performance. This will affect Mingxia's favorite contract.
, and the Lakers, in the absence of a forward line, this performance opportunity is guaranteed . In other words, this is where the Lakers attract Reddish.
In other words, the Lakers are still very likely to win Reddish when they are willing to take out Nunn + the second round of the signing.
