The Lakers traded urgently! Intercepted the long-arm defensive forward

In the last hour of draft night, Lakers general manager Pelinka took the initiative decisively. According to Shams, an authoritative NBA reporter, the Lakers gave away the No. 45 draw and some cash, and exchanged the Timberwolves with the precious 36th pick, successfully locking in the University of Arkansas forward-guard swingman Adu Tielo.

Tiero is a talented "long-arm monster" - his naked feet are 1.99 meters tall, but has an astonishing 2.13 meters of arm span. His strong physique of 99 kilograms will not suffer any loss in the confrontation. Its draft template is directly targeted at defensive champion Nasir Little. In the college arena, Thiero averaged 15.1 points + 5.8 rebounds + 1.9 assists per game in 27.5 minutes. His real killer is on the defensive end: 1.6 steals per game show that his prediction is accurate, and 0.7 blocks confirm the deterrent power of assisting defense. With his top athletic ability and agility, he can cover from the second position to the fourth position, which can be called an "eraser" on the outside defense. On the offensive end, Thiero will become a "turbocharger" in the Lakers' fast attack storm. His 54.5% shooting percentage shows his efficient finishing ability to hit the basket, although three-point shooting percentage (25.6%) and free throw percentage (68.6%) still need to be polished.

Lakers team reporter Dan Woike revealed the urgent inside story of the team's upward trade: the Sacramento Kings hold the 42nd pick and are also eyeing Thiero. Pelinka acted decisively to avoid the target being intercepted.

The Lakers' future puzzle begins to show its edge:

Defense is combat power: With top physical hardware and defensive instinct, Thiero is expected to become the wing gate that the Lakers urgently need.

conversion engine: its explosive athletic ability will greatly enhance the Lakers' fast break threat and share the offensive pressure for James and Doncic.

Growth Potential: If the projection stability is improved, Thiero will transform from a 3D player to an all-around forward with more strategic value.

In the fiercely competitive West, the Lakers' move undoubtedly injected scarce youthful vitality and defensive resilience into the lineup. When Tierro's long arms were shrouded in front of his opponent, the guardian of the basket in the encrypted center might have quietly taken place. Can this defensive wizard, coveted by many teams, replicate the Reeves-style counterattack trajectory? The expectations of Lakers fans have been ignited instantly.
