Annual salary of 6 million! Average of 8+7! Compared to Hayes, why is he said to be more suitable for the Lakers second center?

In the new season, unless the super giants such as Jokic are traded to the Lakers, Ayton will be the team's starting center. What about the Lakers' second center? At present, it's basically Hayes. So are there any better choices besides him?

The US media "Fadeaway World" recommends that the Lakers and the Nets make a 2-for-2 deal. Specifically, the Lakers sent Kneckett and Kleber to Sharp and himself in the second round of 27 years.

In fact, just compared to Hayes, I think Sharp is the second center that is more suitable for the Lakers.

, that is, combat power

, even though Sharp all appeared as a substitute in the 24-25 season, his average of 8+7 was still better than Hayes' 7+5 in the 35 starters. In fact, Sharp's average of 7+6 is better than Hayes's 7+4 so far. In other words, Sharp's combat power is better than Hayes. The Sharp's rating in the basket was a slightly average 64.4%, while Hayes was the top 83.8%. But it should be noted that the latter has three bonuses: Doncic, James and Reeves. In contrast, the Nets did not have a decent ball-holding core.

"eating cakes" at the basket is what Hayes is best at, but putting aside the "East Zhanli" factor, it has not crushed Sharp.

Basket Protection

24-25 season Sharp restricts his opponent's shooting rate by less than 6 feet by 56.9%, and Hayes's value is 60.2%. Let's compare the same player to defend.

Sharp's shot rate against Zubac was limited by 54.5% and Hayes's value was 59.6%. Obviously, Sharp is better than Hayes in the basket protection.

Rebounds

Sharp has a rebounding rate of 21.6%, averaging 5.6 rebounds per game, and Hayes has a two-game score of 13.2% and 3.9. Obviously, Sharp is better than Hayes in terms of rebounding and protection.

Contract

Sharp and the Nets have two years and 12 million contracts, with an average salary of 6 million and an average of 8 (score) + 7 (rebounds) per game. Hayes has a basic salary of 3.45 million yuan per year, which is relatively cost-effective, at least not affecting the team's subsequent operations.

In summary, the reason why Sharp is more suitable for the Lakers' second center than Hayes is mainly reflected in the following three points:

1. Overall combat power is better than Hayes;

2. Hess is good at ending the basket, but Sharp does not lose much. On the contrary, the basket protection that Hayes does not have;

3. Sharp is also better than Hayes in terms of rebounding and protection.

Overall, it can be summarized as Sharp, who has the ability to finish at the basket, has the ability to compete and protect the basket and rebounds that the latter does not have.

Finally, Sharp's average salary of 6 million yuan and a two-year contract does not affect the Lakers' subsequent operations. Here, I still hope that Pelinka will trade to the former.
