currently has reliable information that the Lakers recently tried out the 19-year-old point guard Niccolo Mannion of the University of Arizona. He is an Italian rookie who played in the NCAA in Arizona for one year. He averaged 14+2.5+5.3 per game, shooting close to 40%, and his heart is very big, he won't be stage fright when he takes shots at critical moments.
More importantly, Mannion is a point guard with excellent passing ability. The media believes that the Lakers intend to snare him to replace Rondo who may be out of contract.
But the Lakers only have the 28th pick. At present, Mannion is about 20 in the draft forecast list. If the Lakers want to select him, Mannion's pick must drop.
In addition to Mannion, the Lakers also aimed at several different goals in this rookie.
Tyrrell Terry is the outside shooter the Lakers hope to get. He has stable shooting ability and quick shot scoring skills. He also has good running ability without the ball, but in contrast, Terry is too thin. , This is likely to make him the focus of the Lakers' defense, but if he is a substitute player, I believe Terry will have a good performance.
Peyton Perited may be a bit older than the two mentioned above, but his excellent three-pointer ability can make up for his lack of athleticism, and he handles key shots very well, even in difficult situations. In this state, he can maintain a three-point shooting rate of more than 40%. The Lakers can have him, which is equivalent to one more top spot. Such a role player league will never be enough.
If you really can’t choose Mannion, Malaki Flynn of the University of San Diego is also a good choice. He is three years older than Mannion and has more mature skills and a stable shooting rate, no matter as an organization. Or the shooter has a certain level, which can also make the Lakers' lineup more changeable. Although his size is a little short, his handling of the ball has made him the core of the team in the past college. He will be the player the Lakers need. . Is
found? The Lakers have looked at so many rookies, but what they need after all is a point guard who can control, shoot, and have a stable scoring ability. The Lakers with only the 28th pick must think carefully, because these players are difficult to survive to 28. Overall, if the god of luck comes down, the Lakers should make a good choice, so as not to overwhelm the wrong treasure and lose the team's future.
