Why is this happening? The Lakers made a decision against Brownie, which is good news for Kneckett

Browney averaged 14.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in this summer league, of which the scores were significantly higher than last year's average of 7.0 points. In the same second grade, Knector's performance can be said to be "eye-catching", especially the 23.7% three-point rate has dropped significantly from 34.2% last year.

However, even though he performed well, Brownie still did not attract the attention of reporters. The Lakers Buha predicts that the 10-player rotation of the team in the new season will be the starting players Doncic, Ayton, James, Smart and Reeves, and the substitutes are Hachimura, Vincent, Hayes, Vanderbilt and Laravia.

Survey According to the NBA China official website, Brownie will stay in the Nanniwan Lakers more time in the new season. This means it is still difficult for the former to play in the NBA official game in the new season.

When the Lakers make a decision against Brownie, I think it's a good thing for Kneckett.

Reduced competitiveness

Whether it is before the draft or entering the NBA, three-pointers are Kneckett's biggest selling point and important ending method - the rookie season's shooting accounted for as much as 61%.

The Lakers made 40% of the overall three-point shooting in the 24-25 season, and the value after the All-Star rises to 47%. In other words, with Doncic's arrival, three-pointers have become the team's main ending method. From this perspective, although performance lacks stability and is often caught in trading rumors, Kneckett still has a chance to perform against teams such as the Cavaliers and the Timberwolves that have the advantage in the inside.

At this time, considering that Brownie is in the Development League, the competitive pressure faced by Kneckett is decreasing from the side. What I mean, at this stage, the difference in combat power between the two is not much different, which is a direct competitive relationship.

Reinforce chips

Just said that Kneckett is often caught in trading rumors. In fact, under the premise of having a three-year rookie contract and not destroying the team's main framework, he is indeed the best candidate for the Lakers to strengthen.

From a trading perspective, in order to enhance the trading value of Kneckett, Redick will also arrange as much of the former as possible in the early stage of the season.

To sum up the above two points, we can understand the "good news" as:

1. Brownie focuses on the Development League, which means that the competitive pressure faced by Kneckett is reduced;

2. From the perspective of trading reinforcement, Kneckett will basically get stable opportunities at the beginning of the season.

Relatively speaking, the first point plays a driving role in the second point. To put it bluntly, without Brownie's competition, Reddick gave him 10 minutes of chance, so all these 10 minutes are Kneckett's, and he will compete with Brownie.

Finally, how did Kneckett perform in the new season? Are you still in the Lakers? Let's wait and see.
