So far in the 23-24 season, Hachimura has a true shooting percentage of 65 in the first games3%, 13 per game0 points; When coming off the bench, the two numbers were 574% and 108 points.
Judging by the data,Hachimura's offense was more efficient when he was a starter。But because of the presence of James and Prince, Hachimura has not started many games so far this season.
When it comes to Hachimura, the first thing that comes to mind is mid-range shooting, or holding the ball. It's like talking about Curry thinking of three-pointers, talking about mid-range shooting thinking of Kobe, Leonard and others. Statistically, Hachimura's shooting rate so far this season is 423%。As a contrast,Durant, Booker
Of course, we can't say that Hachimura's mid-range finishing efficiency is still comparable to that of star players, after all, the defensive intensity faced is different. However, it is a good indication that when the opportunity arises, it is very easy to grasp it.
It's just that what people can't figure out is that Hachimura has reduced the proportion of mid-range shots this season, and the value has increased from 15 last season8% reduced to 9 for the season1%。And the extra shots have increased to the outside, and the proportion of three-point shots has increased from 27 last season3% to 333%。
Three points, Hachimura？You must know that in the 243 games so far in his career, Hachimura's three-point rate is only 352% - not up to the top, decent existence. To be honest, reducing mid-range shooting and increasing three-pointers is hard to figure out. After all,The Lakers are missing attackers other than James。And Hachimura will inevitably have a greater tactical position when he has a certain holding shot, and even holding the ball can become a killer feature.
Of course, it is precisely because of Hachimura's "unreliability" that news has revealed that the Lakers are ready to trade him. In fact, in addition to its own reasons, Hachimura gradually fell out of favor and there were external reasons.
Since the rematch against the Thunder, Vanderbilt's defense can turn opponents' shooting percentage from 477% suppressed to 434%。If he is opposite DeRozan for 4 minutes and 33 seconds, he will only shoot 1 of 3; Another example is Klay Thompson's 3:39 limit, which limited him to just 1 of 4 shots.
On the offensive end, he averaged 59 out of 7 shots9 points. In the same period, it was second only to the LakersRussell, Bushy Eyebrows, James, and Reeves。What's more important is that the three-point rate is as high as 60%.
There is defense and three-point shooting, and Vanderbilt at this stage is like a 3-and-D (i.e., three-point and defensive) forward. Looking at it this way, the four-year, 48 million contract that will take effect next season is not a loss at all for the Lakers. Of course, this pressure is coming for Hachimura, to be precise, competitive pressure. In fact, Hachimura's fall from grace is also directly related to Vanderbilt's recent good performance.
In the end, Vanderbilt still has a long way to go if he wants to be a top-tier 3-and-D forward. On the one hand, it is necessary to stay healthy; On the other hand, the three points should be consistent. Of course, Vanderbilt's defense is no problem.
