A one-year contract is reached! The Cavaliers sign the Lakers former player, what can he bring to the team?

The Cavaliers once started the 15-game winning streak, and finally ranked second in the league with 64 wins and 18 losses. Unfortunately, they did not meet the Thunder in the finals as expected.

The Cavaliers management has not let go of four, Mitchell, Garland, Evan Mobley and Jaart Allen. In addition, they also used Ocorro to exchange Ronzo Ball from the Bulls and sign Larry Nance Jr. to strengthen the substitute lineup. Potentially, the Cleveland Cavaliers' goal in the new season is still to win the championship.

According to the NBA China official website, Thomas Bryant has reached a one-year contract with the Cavaliers. It was previously reported that Tob had received invitations from European teams, and now it seems that he still wants to stay in the NBA.

With the contract reached, what can Tobu bring to the Knights?

End of the inside line, Tobu has made a total of 2019 attempts so far, of which 33.8% come from the basket and 15% from the basket, with corresponding shooting rates of 78.3% and 55.1% respectively. In comparison, Jokic's career shooting rates were 72.1% and 58.4% respectively in the two regions.

The two face different defensive strengths, but the important thing is that when there is a scoring opportunity in the inside, Tobu can effectively grasp it. In addition, more than 50% of the shooting rate at the basket is shown that Tobble has tips on the basket, such as throwing and hooking. Provides a stable inside end, which is one of them.

So far, Tobu's mid-range shooting rate is 47.2%, long two-point shooting rate is 41.7%, and three-point shooting rate is 34.6%. As a big man of 208, he has such a mid-range shot ability.

In fact, when Thomas Average of 14.1 points per game was mainly due to this long shot when Thomas was injured in the 22-23 season. For example, 8 of the 12 sports goals against the Trail Blazers came from mid-range shots, bringing a 31-point career highest scoring record.

Speaking of this, something interesting is coming.

1. Allen's mid-range shooting rate in his career was 35.5%, 29.2% long two-pointers, and 16.4% three-pointers;

2. Little Nans' mid-range shooting rate in his career was 34.3%, 21.1% long two-pointers, and 30.3% three-pointers.

From this perspective, Tobu diversified the Cavaliers in their center reserves. From another perspective, his existence can enrich the team's skills and tactics to a certain extent. For example, after pick-and-roll with Mitchell/Garland, Tobu can be dismantled outside and ended, which is something Allen/Nans can't do. The projection brings a certain degree of rich technical and tactics, which is the second.

Playoffs

Torbu's real shooting rate in the regular season 24-25 season was 61.3% and 66.4% in the playoffs. After the defensive intensity increased, the offensive efficiency did not decrease but increased. This is one of them. Secondly, although he is only a role player, Tobu's record of experience after following the Pacers after playing the finals is also beneficial. The playoffs can effectively ensure offensive efficiency, which is the third one.

In summary, what Tobu can bring to the Cavaliers are:

1, stable inside end;

2, projection brings a certain degree of enrichment of team skills and tactics;

3, effectively ensure offensive efficiency in the playoffs.

Relatively speaking, I think the second and third points are the main reasons.

First of all, unless there is a large wave of injuries in the new season, it will be no difficulty for the Cavaliers to enter the playoffs. In this case, Tobu will give the team a stable rotation player in the playoffs. Potentially, make the coach more relaxed in the arrangement.

Secondly, with projection energy, it can share the offensive pressure of Mitchell and Garland to a certain extent, thus making the two easy to play and reducing the occurrence of injuries.

Finally, considering that it was only one year's contract, the Knights did not lose. After all, if you really don’t adapt to the environment, you can DNP or cut it.
