That s right! Pelinka made a clear goal when he spoke, and the Lakers locked in No. 1 center Ayton?

rookie season, Donovan Klingen's average moving speed was 4.20 in 1324 minutes. For comparison, Wenban Yama 4.09.

is second only to Zach Edie, Poor Poor and Vinbanyama's 218 heights, plus the mobility comparable to forward players. It is not difficult to understand that rookie Jiklingen can send out 110 blocks tied with Davis, tied with the 6th in the league - the defensive net woven with height + mobility can basically cover the half-court.

Thanks to his strong defensive ability, the Trail Blazers lost 109.7 points in a hundred rounds when Klingen was on the court. For comparison, the first three regular season defense Thunder conceded 106.6 points in a hundred rounds, the Magic 109.1 points, and the Clippers 109.4 points. That is, the Trail Blazers have the league's top defense when Klingen is on the court.

is also an inside player. When Ayton was on the court, the Trail Blazers lost 116.8 points in a hundred rounds, and when they were not on the court, the team lost 111.7 points in a hundred rounds. The difference of -5.1 indicates that Ayton's presence is a side effect on the team's defensive end.

Klingen before and his own performance lacks persuasion, so it is not difficult to understand that there is news that the Trail Blazers are open to Ayton's trading attitude.

At the same time, according to NBA China report: Pelinka said that strengthening the inside in the offseason is the primary goal. Mr. Pei’s words are very clear: Completed “upgrade” to Hayes this summer. Based on this, I think the Lakers will lock in Ayton, the No. 1 pick.

First, as I said just now, Ayton has an open trading attitude.换个角度看，凯斯勒确实更适合目前这支湖人但问题是安吉不卖，哪怕是佩总掏空全部家当的前提下。

Second, Ayton averaged 4.1 screens per game in the regular season, second only to Sabonis Jr., Gobert, Jokic and Harten. By covering, he can average 9.5 points for the team and tied for fifth in the league with Jaart Allen. This is one of them.

The second, accounting for 28.1% of the offensive rounds come from pick-and-roll 1.18 points per round. For comparison, Towns 1.25 points/round and Lopez 1.20 points/round. In other words, they have the ability to attack the basket with an elite pick-and-roll and shoot from outside and finish shooting.

As far as the second point is concerned, it is very suitable to play pick-and-roll with Doncic. Combining the first point, Ayton should be the most suitable for Doncic among the center players that the Lakers can get.

Of course, would you say Ayton is a defensive softie? !

Judging from the data alone, Ayton's defense has a real plus-minus value of -0.2 in 398 games in his NBA career, just like the existence of his opponent's "drawing" machine. But then again, what do you think about this? First, Ayton, who is 213 in height and weighs 113 kg, has a standard No. 5 figure. In addition, as the top pick in the draft year, his running and jumping ability is also top-notch - the draft template is David Robinson.

Second, taking this season as an example, he limited his 2-for-7 shots against Jokic at 12 minutes and 16 seconds; he limited his 4-for-14 shots against Danny Brows at 8 minutes and 48 seconds.

To sum up two points, we can conclude that Ayton is not unable to guard against, but is mostly just lazy. Otherwise, why do the hot counters have top defense?

Speaking of this, we have to mention Chris Dunn.

The real positive and negative value of 3.4 this season is not only a career high, but also second only to Caruso in the league. The reason for the rapid development of defense is very important that there is a system that is more suitable for performance under hardware conditions - in the regular season, the Clippers 109.4's defensive efficiency is second only to the Thunder and the Magic.

Taking Dunn as an example, it is not impossible for Ayton to complete the transformation on the defensive end under the appropriate system.

Overall, locking means that Ayton is the strongest center that the Lakers can get and suitable for Doncic at this stage. As for the defensive end, I don’t think there is any need to worry at all, after all, it’s an attitude rather than a hardware issue.
