The scoring ability is insufficient and the defense is not that good. Is the Lakers wing performance disappointing?

In a previous NBA summer league game, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 87-85 after a hard battle, achieving their first victory in the summer league.

In this game, the Lakers' substitute wing star DaJuan Gordon's performance was very disappointing. Gordon played 16 minutes and 06 seconds in the game, made 1 of 5 shots and 1 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line, scored 3 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and had 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -14. Gordon's efficiency on the offensive end is not ideal, his scoring ability is not fully utilized, and he has not played the role in passing and organizing offense. It would be fine if he did nothing on the offensive end, after all, his ability on the offensive end is not outstanding. The most important point is that as a defensive gate, Gordon's performance on the defensive end is also very disappointing, and he has not shown his talents on the defensive end. Overall. Gordon's performance on both offense and defense is disappointing, and the team's situation is also a mess when he is on the court. The plus or negative value of -14 can also show how bad the team's situation is when he is on the court. Obviously, his poor performance is also an important factor in the team's final loss of this game.

Summer League so far, Gordon averaged 15.5 minutes in his first four games, with averaging 5.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 36.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 30.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 50%. Gordon's performance during the summer league was actually not ideal. He can occasionally play a certain role on the defensive end, but the problem is that his performance on the offensive end is too unstable. He did not show enough scoring ability, and his stability outside the three-point line is also a seriously insufficient level. Gordon should have been a player with certain scoring ability and good defensive ability, but in this summer league, Gordon has obviously not shown his talents so far.

Gordon was born in January 2001 and is 24 years old, 193cm tall and weighs 86kg. He was the undrafted in the NBA draft last year. Last season, Gordon played for the Lakers' NBA Development League team, Nanwan Lakers. His performance in the South Bay Lakers was quite average, and his defensive ability was quite good. Of course, his stability on the offensive end was also relatively average. I thought Gordon could play a more important role during the summer league, and he also had the opportunity to take on more responsibilities and become a key figure for the team during the summer league, but it seems that this is not the case at all. I don’t know if Gordon can perform at a higher level in the next game.
