Career three-point rate is 37.1%! Although Finney Smith leaves the team, the Lakers are going to have 3D players again

After the NBA free agent market opened, Finney Smith switched to the Rockets. To be honest, it is impossible for the "electric fan" to leave the team without any impact on the Lakers - the team won 11.1 points in 100 rounds in 1239 minutes, ranking first; the team lost 3.5 points in 1214 minutes when they were not present, second only to Doncic's net loss of 4.5 points.

The good side is that Smith and Lakers are let go and released completely middle-class, thus signing Ayton and Laravia.

Ayton cannot be said to be a qualitative enhancement for the Lakers, but there is no trade as expected to come to Kessler and others, which will definitely improve compared to Hayes. As for Laravia, I think there is a better tactical adaptability than Aiton.

Description Point 1: Position. So far, he has played the third position and 47% of the fourth position. In addition to the swaying front, a 106 kg weight means that you will not suffer any losses when confronting most front lines.

Explanation point two: three points. So far in his career, three-point shooting accounts for 50.2% of the three-point shooting rate is 37.1%, which shows that three-point shooting is the main ending method and its efficiency is relatively good.

Explanation point three: Defense. From a data perspective, the real plus-minus value of defense in my career has been 0.3. Relatively speaking, it is not very good, but at least it will not be an "ATM".

Of course, Laravia's starting rate has only been 4% so far in her career, which means she is not a defense against Antetokounmpo, Durant and others. From the side, the defensive pressure is not very large.

To sum up three points, I think Laravia will be the Lakers' own 3D.

First, on the defensive end alone, Laravia's performance is definitely not as good as Vanderbilt and Smart, but the problem is that the former has a good three-pointer rate, which means it will not be an offensive "black hole".

Second. In the 24-25th quarter, Hachimura's three-point shooting accounted for 42.9% and the three-point shooting rate was 41.3%, while Laravia's two figures were 42.1% and 42.3% respectively. When the defensive end is not lost, Laravia has a better defense than Hachimura - the former's real positive and negative defense value is 1.1, and the latter's value is -0.6.

Third, he can play multiple positions and perform well on both offense and defense. It can be said that Laravia's chances in the new season are still guaranteed. I think the former is likely to become a substitute for Finney Smith.

In summary, it is said that the Lakers' own 3D is more reflected in the following three points:

1. Have better offensive abilities than defensive players;

2. Have better defensive abilities than offensive players;

3. The characteristics are distinct and have a certain efficiency, which means that opportunities are guaranteed.

combined, it is the third point that drives the first and second points. Of course, what we are talking about here is only the Lakers. After all, looking at the league's 3D level, Derek White, Bridges and other levels, Laravia is still a long way to go.
