Three important factors affecting the Lakers' record


The Lakers officially announced the roster of 19 players who have entered the training camp for the new season: Anthony, Ariza, Baezmore, Davis, , , , , , , Howard, James, Jr. Jordan, Munch, Nunn, Rondo and Westbrook, Ayayi (two-way contract), Reeves (two-way contract)

allows 17 people There are signed contracts, 15 formal contracts, and 2 two-way contracts. Therefore, Brown, McLaughlin, Oliver, and Quinn are competing for the last spot. Oliver has the highest probability. The position is the forward and the guard Lakers are too crowded.


The formation of the Lakers is so big that the head coach Vogel also said in an interview that, except for the starting positions of James and Davis, other positions are uncertain. , Including 威少.


Center: Jr. Jordan is 33 years old, is no longer an air catcher, defensively, Howard is 36 years old, and what is left is the persistence baptized by the years.

Forwards: Davis, James, Anthony (37 years old), Ariza (36 years old), Baezmore,

Defenders: Westbrook , Nunn, Rondo , Munch, Ellington (34 years old), Tucker

The rest of the players,The regular rotation will not have time to play. But how to arrange a fixed lineup to maximize the efficiency of the players. The Lakers focus on small lineups this season, and Davis has been determined to play the fifth position. James can play in the other four positions. When James is on the court, he is still the ball-handler. Therefore, with the other three starters, try to open up the space and take into account the defense. Comprehensive considerations, I believe that

guards: Munch, Ellington, striker : Ariza


Munch: Last season, he made 40% three-pointers, 2.1 steals per game, 23 years old, Ellington made 42% three-pointers, 1.5 per game In steals, Ariza made 35% of three-pointers, averaged 1 steal per game (fake over-starts), and took care of defense.

Main substitute: Westbrook accepts the role of the sixth man. When James is resting, he can control the ball. Tucker, after all, the player who signed a big contract in the summer will be given a fixed time in the new season, plus Howard, Anthony, this set of bench lineup played the remaining heat. The Lakers must be one of the teams averaging the most points per game this season. The average points per game are at a moderate level. The winning rate is really based on experience.

The factors that determine how far the Lakers can go this season:


The first one is Davis's health factor, because Davis is often injured and he was out of the first round of the playoffs last season. Davis groin strained to play five this season, facing many insiders, Davis's health is the most important.


The second is Munch's play. This player has explosive scoring power and is also a nerve knife, which is unstable. The basic salary contract really seems to be a robbery. The player who wants to compete for the top in the Hornets, averaging 11.7 points, 40% three-point shooting, 2.4 steals per game, both offensive and defensive, come to the Lakers this time, all the big guys play next to their own points. , Learning experience, preparing for future big contracts, 23 years old,Munch's play is also crucial.


Third: Can Westbrook accept the role of a substitute player and place it in the starting lineup. It really can't make room for Davis and James. Defense is also a loophole. If you can accept the role of the substitute, focus on the sixth man, and lead the bench to play better in the second team, this is what the team wants to see.

James and Davis determine the lower limit. These factors determine the upper limit of the Lakers.
