Russell is on a $38 million contract to become a Lakers 3D player, and good luck with him.
As a substitute, Russell averaged 115 points 45 times of help. In terms of relevant information, the following points need to be noted:
First, high efficiency. On average, his average shot success rate is 705%。Compared to 56 at the beginning4%, that's a big improvement.
Second, control. From the beginning of the bench to now, 4 out of 30 balls5 assists. And 6 at the time of the startThat's a good stat compared to 3 rebounds.
From both perspectives, Russell's role as a substitute is much greater. But the problem is that the Lakers didn't intend to keep Russell on the bench for long.
First of all, the Lakers have an efficient player like Reaves on the bench, and it would be a shame to have Russell on the court. Russell, on the other hand, is to put a "label" on his team.
At that point alone, his average shot off the bench is 127, while off the bench, his average number of shots is 75 pcs. This means that his playing time on the field will be greatly reduced. In other words, Russell won't be a long-term substitute.
In this case, Russell's departure is a sure thing. At this time, Zhan Mei's words have two key points.
Description 1: Attack. So far, James has scored 54 percent of his shots from beyond the three-point line, compared to 725%。
Second, passing and controlling. James' average rating is 481, while the thick eyebrows are 474, 31 pc.
From these two aspects, Zhan Mei is good at attacking from beyond the three-point line, and both of them have good passing and assist strength, and James is even more so.
So, to share some of the burden for Zhan Mei, you must have the strength of three-point shooting, shooting, and turning James' passes into assists;Dropping back, cruising around the three-point line, opened up space for James' offense.
Anunoby, meanwhile, are averaging 14 points per game so far this season8,3.9 plates, 27 assists, 10 caps, 05 caps. Anuno, on the other hand, is the top 3-d that I think can be classified.
The first reason: information. In terms of offense, the three-point percentage is 368%, with an average of 2 points per game2；Defensively, the actual actual score is 20.From that alone, he is ranked 17th in the league. Thick eyebrows and Brother Alphabet are both geniuses of 1.7 meters.
Reason two: Personality. Offensively, he shot 51 from three-point range2%；Defensively, there are 498% used against defenders, 407% are used against strikers and 42% are used against strikers1%, and there are 40 people who are used to limit opponents9%。
In the 13 minutes and 04 minutes against DeRozan, he hit just three of his 14 shots;In 10 minutes and 20 seconds of confrontation, he was reduced to just seven shots by Mitchell.
From both perspectives, Anunoby's 3D abilities are strong, and his attacks are also effective. From this point of view, it's not an exaggeration to say that Bridges is known as the best 3D game.
As for Anunoby, I think there's a good chance of replacing the Lakers with something like Russell.
The first reason: retrofitting. Since the start of the season, the Raptors have only scored 11-18. In particular, Anunoby's two-year, $38 million contract, and the fact that Russell could be a new team for some time to come, would be beneficial for rebuilding the team.
Reason 2: Charisma. The Lakers with James are clearly more attractive to Anunoby than the Raptors.
In short, the Lakers have the chips to satisfy both their opponents and their players. So, it's very likely that this business will work out. That's good news for Russell.
