From 39 million to 6 million! His characteristics are very similar to Anunobi. The Lakers signing is sure to make a profit without losing money.

24-25 season Anunobi averaged 18.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks. What we need to say about the data is:

three-point shooting accounted for 44.8%, and the shooting rate was 37.2%. The shooting accounts for nearly half, which shows that three-pointers are Anunobi's main ending method. As for the three-point rate, look at the group comparison data:

1, Derek White's value is 38.4%;

2, Mikal Bridges value is 35.4%;

3, Caruso's value is 35.3%.

In other words, among the players of the same "3D" type, Anunobi has an elite-level three-point finishing ability. It should be said that the former three-pointers are mainly based on receiving shots - 450 three-pointers were made this season, of which 367 were from receiving shots and a shooting rate of 37.9%.

The defensive end

accounts for 41.1% of the rounds of pick-and-roll, which shows that this is the main defensive method. In terms of efficiency, the opponent is limited to 0.83 points per round, which is better than 70.1% of the league's players. In addition, with a certain ability to confront each other, you can also swing upwards to defend the fourth position or even the fifth position. For example:

1, against Siakam for 14 minutes and 29 seconds, limiting his 5-for-14 shots and his shooting rate was 35.7%;

2, against Antetokounmpo for 16 minutes and 01 seconds, limiting his 8-for-23 shots and his shooting rate was 34.8%;

3, against Evan Mobley for 11 minutes and 52 seconds, limiting his 2-for-7 shots and his shooting rate was 28.6%.

Together with both offense and defense, it can be said that Anunobi's "3D" has distinct characteristics, and both three-pointers and defense are at the top level.

The Lakers definitely need such players. But the problem is that not to mention the chip issue, it is difficult to match the annual salary of 39 million yuan alone - James is willing to give up the veto of the transaction, but the problem is that the Knicks are unwilling to take over.

Meanwhile, Pelinka signed Jack Laravia in the offseason.

So far in his career, Lalavia's three-point shooting accounted for 50.2% and his shooting rate was 37.1%. As a comparison:

1, Kneckett value 37.6%;

2, Seble value 38.9%;

3, Greater Wagner value 36.0%.

In other words, La Lavia has a mid-to-high three-point finishing ability in unit time, that is, per game of about 20 minutes per game.

La Lavia's main finishing method on the defensive end is also to defend against pick-and-roll, accounting for 33.1%, and the efficiency limits the opponent to 0.90 points/round - better than 49.3% of the league's players.

In addition, unlike most white players, Laravia can also defend upwards with certain ability to confront each other. The match against Jokic was 4 minutes and 47 seconds, and the former made 2 of 5 shots - although the sample was small, it could also be used as a tactical reference.

In summary, Laravia and Anunobi have similar "3D" characteristics. Based on this, in my opinion, the Lakers will make sure to make a profit when signing him.

First, contract. Laravia's annual salary is only 6 million, which is less than a fraction of Anunobi's. Of course, the former is definitely not as powerful as the latter. But the problem is that Laravia can also play Anunobi to a certain extent with a good three-pointer and defense averages about 20 minutes.

Second, the current situation of the Lakers. When Finney Smith switched to the Rockets, the Lakers lacked a forward line that could lead upwards - Vanderbilt's problem is that he is thin and attacks a "black hole". And as I said just now, Laravia can do this.

In summary, we can understand that Laravia has a small contract and is a player who continues to be a player. Furthermore, the two-year contract will not affect the so-called 27-year plan.
