12 million in 2 years! The Lakers sign potential forwards, compared to Kneckett, this is great value

Dalton Kneckett makes the Lakers love and hate?

Yes, that's how it is understood.

Explanation point: Time watershed. Before the All-Star season 24-25, Knector averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game, including seventh in the same period.

Although not as dazzling as the Spurs Castle, nor as strong as the Hawks Rissache and the Heat, it is undeniable that Knector's performance is far better than the No. 17th pick, which is a good aspect.

However, after All-Star, Knector's performance plummeted. Although this is embarrassing that the transaction was returned, it is more related to himself. For example, he doesn't play tactics and likes to play superstar players - compared with the All-Star, Kennector's share of ball holding has increased significantly by 12.4 percentage points compared to the All-Star player.

In addition, it is the defensive end being chased by the opponent, which makes it a defensive black hole. As a last resort, Redick began to DNP Kneckett intentionally or unintentionally.

With the arrival of the offseason, Kneckett also began to fall into trading rumors, such as the transactions involving Kessler with the Jazz.

At the same time, according to the NBA China official website, the Lakers and Lalavia reached a two-year 12 million contract.

Explanation point 1: three points. In the 136 games so far in NBA career, three-point shooting accounts for 50%, Lavia's three-point shooting rate is 37.1%, and an average of 1.0 goals per game.

Explanation point 2: Hold on to invest. When playing for the Kings in the 24-25 season, Laravia averaged 51.2% of the shooting rate under the lap, and there was a 32.7% chance of getting a "2+1" opportunity.

Explanation point three: Defense. Laravia's real positive and negative defense value has been 0.3 in his NBA career. Compared with Knector's -1.7, it is obviously not a "couple" on the defensive end.

To sum up three points, given the similar characteristics and stronger combat power, considering the contract with an average salary of 6 million yuan, it is definitely a great value compared to Knector. To put it bluntly, we can put Laravia pick-and-roll enhanced version of Knector.

In fact, for Laravia, I think it is possible to define the potential front line.

Reason 1: Height. Laravia, who is 203 and weighs 106 kg, can be said to have a standard forward height.

Reason 2: Position. Laravia has played 2,569 minutes in his NBA career, accounting for 43% of them to play the third position and 47% to play the fourth position. Obviously, like Anunobi, Tatum and others, they are forward-line swingers.

Reason 3: Age. Laravia, born in October 2001, is less than 24 years old. At an average age of 27, she still has the possibility of growing up. To put it more, Kneckett is already 24 years old.

Reason 4: Progressiveness. The real shooting rate in the rookie season was 53.1%, the second grade was 54.0%, and the third grade was 60.5%; the real defense plus and negative values ​​in the three seasons were -1.0, 0.4 and 1.1 respectively. As far as data is concerned, Laravia has shown good progressive attributes since entering the league.

In summary, we have reason to summarize Laravia into the ranks of "potential front line". From the side, the average salary of 6 million yuan and a two-year contract is still very cost-effective.
