Average of 16.9 points! The peak is the upgraded version of Reeves. Congratulations to the Lakers, the substitute is coming

Without center, Ayton is here; without defense, Smart is here.

What are the obvious shortcomings of the Lakers in the new season?

I think in addition to the average thickness of the inside reserve, it is a substitute score.

In terms of data, the Lakers substitutes scored a total of 2148 points in the 24-25 season, only better than the Knicks' 1793 points. The overall shooting rate of 44.7% of the substitutes is also at the same level as the bottom teams such as the Jazz and Wizards.

Why are the Lakers substitutes poor?

First, almost all Lakers substitutes, including Kneckett and Vanderbilt, lack independent offensive ability.

Second, the Lakers lack such as Paul, and the Celtics have Prichard. To be precise, either have the ability to attack independently or have a certain level of connection.

Speaking of this, considering that Pelinka did not adjust the bench during the offseason. It can be predicted that the Lakers' substitute firepower is likely to be at the bottom of the league in the new season.

Speaking of this, we have to mention Reeves.

Description point: data.

When Reeves played as a substitute in the 23-24 All-Star season, the Lakers scored a total of 1,793 points, and there were many strong teams such as the Nuggets, Celtics, and Timberwolves behind them. But after three matches against the Suns, Ham raised Reeves to the starter, and the Lakers' substitute firepower dropped sharply - the Lakers' substitute averaged 20.5 points per game after the All-Star season in 23-24, ranking first in the league in the same period. What magic does

Reeves have?

First, have certain investment ability. Take season 24-25 as an example.

Reeves broke through 775 times in total, with a shooting rate of 51.8%. In terms of shooting percentage alone, Booker 52.5% and Mitchell 52.8%. In other words, Reeves' breakthrough reached the star level. In other words, having independent attacks can digest the ball to a certain extent.

Second, in that year, Reeves converted 421 assists with a total of 4215 passes. Just in terms of assists, there are many star players such as Lillard and Curry behind him.

In summary, with a certain ability to attack independently and connect, it is obvious that Reeves can lead a good substitute. However, it is unlikely that Redick will put Reeves on the bench again.

At the same time, according to the NBA China official website: Under the premise of excellent training, Oladipo is looking for an opportunity to return to the NBA.

For Oladipo, I think it is a Reeves upgrade at its peak.

First, honor. Unlike Reeves, Oladipo was selected as the All-Star for two consecutive seasons 17-18 and 18-19.

The second is combat power. So far, Oladipo has averaged 16.9 points per game and Reeves's digit is 14.5 points.

Third, concatenated. So far in his career, Oladipo has averaged 3.9 assists and Reeves's 4.3 times per game.

In summary, the upgraded version is more reflected in the same characteristics of holding investment and connecting, whether it is honor or combat power, Oladipo is stronger than Reeves.

Are the Lakers attractive to Oladipo?

I think there is.

First, Oladipo returns to the NBA to prove himself, and the Lakers' super high exposure can play a good role. The premise is to continue to perform well.

Second, as I said just now, the Lakers are still missing a player with a substitute. Oladipo meets all his abilities and characteristics. Potential, this means that opportunities are guaranteed.

exposure + opportunity, almost only the Lakers can do it.

Finally, the Lakers happen to have a player quota. From this perspective, Oladipo is likely to join the Lakers at any time.
