It s very similar to Howard! With the Lakers restarting negotiations, congratulations to Doncic on averaging 10+7 center assists?

Since James and Davis gathered in Los Angeles to be eliminated from the playoffs by the Timberwolves this season, I think the signings of the Lakers center in the past six years have been "Warcraft" Howard. To be precise, it is season 19-20.

is very convincing:

The 19-20 Western Conference Finals, against Jokic 24 minutes and 52 seconds, formed in 122 rounds. In Howard's defense, the former only made 4 of 11 shots.

Therefore, if Howard had not effectively curbed Jokic, it would be hard to say whether the Lakers could easily eliminate the Nuggets 4:1. After Howard, the Lakers tried Gasol Jr., Drummond Jr., Jordan Jr. and others in the center position, but in terms of effect, there is a certain gap in Howard. This season, when Davis was traded to the Mavericks, Hayes became the starting center, and the Lakers' inside defensive end was extremely poor. Especially in the playoffs, Gobert, who has always been Doncic's "toys", regarded the Lakers' inside line as his "toys".

was eliminated too early in the playoffs, Doncic and others faced contract renewal, and serious internal disadvantages. When various factors were added together, Pelinka's primary goal this summer is to strengthen the inside.

This is not the case, according to the NBA China official website: The Lakers are expected to restart negotiations with Clarkston this summer.

Just Clarkston, it looks very much like Howard to me.

Reason 1: Data. In the 19-20 season, Howard averaged 8+7 per game. For comparison, Clarkston averaged 10+7 per game this season.

Reason 2: Features. Howard limited his opponent's shooting rate from 62.9% to 53.0% with 245 attempts, while Clarkston's score was 380 attempts, limiting his opponent's shooting rate from 64.4% to 54.3%.

On the offensive end, Howard made 236 shots at the basket and hit 186 goals, with a shooting percentage of 78.8%. For comparison, Clarkston's three-item numbers were 323 times, 231 goals, and a shooting percentage of 71.5%.

Combined with offense and defense, both offense and defense, Howard and Clarkston are both "2D" and ending at the basket and protecting the basket.

Reason 3: Importance to the team. When Howard was on the court, the Lakers had a net better of 5.9 points in a 100-game match and 2.1 points in an off-game match. Clarkston had a net win of 3.7 points in 100 games when he was present, and a net loss of 2.1 points in 100 games when he was away.

In other words, although the data is average, given the characteristics of both offense and defense, both of them show their importance to the team very well.

Based on the above three points, we have every reason to believe and recognize that Clarkston is very similar to Howard, who is the second-place winner of the Palace and Lakers.

Of course, considering the Nets' reconstruction attributes, I think the Lakers are still very likely to get Clarkston.

First, for the reconstruction team, any player can trade as long as the chips are suitable. This shows that Clarkston is open to trading attitude.

Second, the Lakers lack centers, and more importantly, they need to strengthen the centers to give Doncic a reassurance and promote the latter's contract renewal. In other words, the Lakers are willing to come up with persuasive chips.

Third, compared to the Nets, there is a possibility of winning the championship - under the commercial value of the big market development, it is obvious that the Lakers are more attractive to Clarkston.

From this perspective, we will gather at the right time (first point), the right place (third point) and the right people (second point), and we would like to congratulate Doncic on ushering in Clarkston's assistance.
