The first round is changed to the second round! Do the Lakers regret it? It s not a good thing for Doncic, Brownie is going to be happy

23 Summer League, Christie scored 25 and 22 points respectively against the Heat and Spurs. In the end, Kobe Kobe averaged 21.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and a shooting rate of 50%. If you use one word to describe it: random killing.

With the help of outstanding performance in the summer league, Christie began to gain a foothold in the Lakers and gradually shines. Take the last 46 games with the Lakers as an example.

Defensive end, 582 interferences of opponents' shooting limits the opponent's shooting rate from 46.3% to 41.2%. In the famous defensive scene, the restricted shooting rate against Trae Young, Edwards, Cunningham and Morant are all less than 30%.

Of course, Christie's greater significance to the Lakers is strategic. To be precise, the team has the candidate to quickly cover the screen when encountering pick-and-roll, and lead the way to defend the opponent's attack starting point. It was just that he was sent to the Mavericks by Pelinka in Doncic's trade, but the Lakers did not lose.

Take Christie as a reference. If you can't even play in the summer league, then there will basically be no training value.

is still the summer league. Although he played less than 11 minutes in the game against the Heat, Brownie made 3 of 7 shots and scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, including a wonderful steal and dunk. In this game alone, there has been significant improvements in terms of scoring opportunities and predictions on the defensive end compared to the rookie season.

There may be jokes, but Brownie is really worth cultivating.

is also in the second grade. Compared to Brownie's highlights, Kneckett's performance is very eye-catching - he only made 5 of 20 shots in two games, and his three-pointers he is good at is 0 of 9.

Just looking at this data, it doesn't look like a player who has played in the NBA game for a year, but more like a pure rookie. Of course, it is precisely based on the poor performance that the media believes that Knector's trading value has changed from the first round to the second round at this stage.

Do the Lakers regret this?

What I don't understand is, what is the significance of the Lakers allowing Kneckett to participate in the Summer League?

First of all, at the age of 24, he is not a potential stock, in other words, the selling point is the combat power. Then there is no need to participate in the summer league where they fight for their own goals - the rookie season is already a rookie match. What I mean is normal if you hit it well, but if you hit it well, it will be a drop in the price. In fact, at this stage, Kneckett's value has been defined as the second round.

And there is another more important point. Whether it involves potential trades from Wiggins or Kessler and others, Kneckett is one of the main bargaining chips. Now with the poor performance, Pelinka's operation is undoubtedly more difficult.

If Kneckett cannot recover his condition in time and perform well, it will definitely not be a good thing for Doncic.

First, Doncic and Clay were present at a net efficiency of 5.3 during the Mavericks period. Under similar characteristics, Doncic and Kneckett can completely "take medicine according to the prescription" - the net efficiency of 2.4 in 423 minutes together in 24-25 seasons - judging from the effect, Kneckett can be used as a weakened version. In other words, Kneckett cannot find his state, which lacks one auxiliary point for Doncic.

Second, if Pelinka insists on trading Kneckett, it will be difficult to exchange for the player he likes without a good performance.

To sum up two points, Kneckett's performance is related to Doncic's current stage and future to a certain extent.

Of course, if Kneckett continues to be down, it can be predicted that opportunities will inevitably decrease. Correspondingly, this part of the opportunity will be added to Brownie.

Finally, if Kneckett continues to be in a downturn in the summer league, I suggest you trade quickly. Otherwise, your value will be lower and lower.
