3 of 13 debuts! The Lakers non-selling products? I want to change my mouth alone, but I really can t trade now

NBA Summer League officially started. On the first game day, there are not many points worth paying attention to. No. 1 pick Flag will have to wait until the 11th game of Summer League, while Yang Hansen's debut will be on the 12th. On the first day of the summer league, the showdown between the Lakers and the Warriors was the most focused game, but the players sent by both sides were also unknown people. The Lakers' son Brownie did not play, and the one with the most stellar on the court was probably the older rookie Knector selected by the Lakers last year. During the regular season this season, Kneckett, as one of the Lakers' core rotations, played 78 games, averaged 19.2 minutes per game, and scored 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.1 steals. He played two games in garbage time in the playoffs, scoring a total of 5 points.

Logically speaking, when playing at this level of summer league, Kneckett should be like a fish in water. It seems that he is the only first round pick in the game, and he has such rich experience in the main game. In the end, the Lakers lost to the Warriors 84-89. Kneckett made 3 of 13 shots in the game, including 0 of 6 three-pointers, scoring only 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, with a plus-negative value of -13, the lowest in the game. The Lakers played the best player Sweed, who had previously played for the Lakers' subordinate team, the South Bay Lakers. In this game, Sweed made 7 of 10 shots, scoring 24 points, 8 rebounds and 1 steal. In addition to Kneckett, another player on the Lakers roster, Jamison performed quite a disaster. He played 0 shots in 20 minutes and only scored 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Summer League debut, Kneckett also had highlight moments. For example, during an offense in the fourth quarter, he accelerated with the ball and made a double-handed gliding dunk.

But most of the time he is in a state of struggle. For example, this time he accelerates the battle and is tragically under a big hat.

In the Lakers' positioning, Kneckett is originally a shooter. His static talent is not bad. He is 1.98 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.06 meters. He shoots very high and is a slightly leaning back. This gives him all-round shooting ability without blind spots. During the regular season, Knector's three-point shooting percentage reached 37.6%, which is already a very good data for a rookie player. In addition to his excellent shooting ability, Knector also has a unique skill. His sense of air cutting is very sensitive, and his athletic ability is definitely the top among white shooters. Knector can often switch at will when choosing three-point shooting and air cutting dunks, which provides him with more scoring opportunities.

During the regular season, Kneket broke out many times, leaving a deep impression on fans. For example, in mid-March, the Lakers challenged the Nuggets away, and he made 32 points with 13 of 27 shots. In the game against the Jazz at the end of November last year, Kneckett made 12 of 16 shots, scoring 37 points and 5 rebounds. There is no doubt that he has a certain explosive power to score and sometimes he can play the role of the sixth player in the team. However, Kneckett's shortcomings are also very obvious. It can be seen from this summer league. First, the offensive ability to hold the ball is not good, and it is difficult to support data output unless it feels full of touch. The second is that you have a bad mentality, you are prone to upset and disheartened during the game, and your defense is not active enough. Third, he has poor tactical literacy and does not listen to the coach's command. This is why Redick almost completely DNPed in the playoffs this year.

Although he has 30+ games in a single game in many rookie seasons, he averages less than 10 points per game, and he can't play in high-end games at the playoff level for the time being, but the Lakers regard Kneckett as a "non-sale product" in the offseason this summer. Some time ago, the Heat made a offer to the Lakers for Hachimura + Knector + 1 first round, but the Lakers decisively rejected it, and they did not want to get Knector. To be honest, the Heat are not a big talk. Being able to get a whine is definitely a comprehensive upgrade in the lineup, but the Lakers regard the assets in his hands as treasures. Not only that, before the end of this year's trading day, the Hornets asked the Lakers for the price about Mark Williams, but the Lakers still refused to send Kneckett. Let’s say, if Ma Wei can come and solve the Lakers’ inside shortcomings in advance, will the Lakers be eliminated by the Timberwolves in the first round?

The feeling is that the lake pipe is still a bit stingy in the market, not bold and decisive enough. They can exchange thick eyebrows for Doncic and sign Ayton with an annual salary of 8 million yuan. This is all due to the glory of the big ball market, not how excellent Pelinka's operation is. In recent years, the Lakers' draft vision seems to be not very good. Sifino, who was selected in the first round in 23 years, has been abandoned by them. Knector, who was selected last year, also had a bit of a high and low end. This summer's debut performance was so disastrous, and Knector also lost his value. It is basically unlikely that the Lakers would use him to trade star-level players. Of course, from another perspective, is it possible that Knector did it on purpose and deliberately beat the net worth and stayed with the Lakers?
