Because in this year's draft, the Lakers have selected a promising new star Max Christie in the second round with the No.35 draft. At the same time, it is reported that after the draft conference, the non-stop Lakers continued to move in the draft sales market and signed three people in a row!
Last season, when he competed for the NCAA, it was well known that Max Christie was able to get 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 65,438+0.5 assists, and his three-point percentage was 365,438+0.7%. For the Lakers, Max Christie, who is 19 years old this year and is 1.97 meters tall, has a very good shaping significance and development trend limitation.
More importantly, from the current situation, the outside world has a high evaluation of Max Christie, and everyone thinks that he has the opportunity to develop into the top 3D in the league! On the other hand, in this year's draft sales market, the Lakers also signed Scott Pippen Jr. and his three-point shooter Cole Swede with double contracts. As the child of former NBA star Scott Pippen, he played for Vanderbilt University last season, and Scott Pippen's main performance has many bright spots.
Overall, Scott Pippen averaged 20.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists 1.9 steals this season, and his scoring offensive ability can be said to be excellent! Last season meant the competition of Syracuse University, and Cole Suede's main performance was equally remarkable. 35 minutes per game, 13.9 points, 6.8 rebounds 1.4 assists 1 steals, and 41.
On the other hand, thanks to his height of 2.06 meters, Cole Suede can hold several positions on the court, and at the same time, he has both athletic ability and good physique, and can become an instant Sagittarius connected with 1394!
For the Lakers, Cole Suede's inside and outside three-point projection and restraint, as well as Scott Pippen's attack and impact, will undoubtedly help James+Westbrook+brothers this season!
In addition, in order to better meet the next summer league, the Lakers also signed a summer contract with the loser Shareef O'Neal. As a child of shaquille o'neal, 22-year-old Shareef O'Neal had previously conducted youth training for the Lakers, but lost in the 2022 draft.
Although last season, Shareef O'Neal's performance was not noticeable, he averaged only 2.9 points and 2. 1 rebound. But as a power forward, Shareef O'Neal, who is 2.08 meters tall and has a wingspan of more than 2 meters 13, has strong athletic ability and physical talent! As far as the Lakers are concerned, although the football team didn't have the first round of signings in this year's draft, it did miss many new star players with more talent and development potential.
But objectively speaking, it is a unique way for the Lakers to win in the draft sales market! As a result, in this year's draft, the Lakers won Max Christie+Scott Pippen Jr.+Cole Swede+Shareef O'Neal, which injected fresh blood into the football team.
For the next season, it seems that everyone can only wait and see what the four rookies selected by the Lakers can do and what surprises they bring us!
Finally, as a fan, do you think the Lakers will be brand-new this season after getting four new players with development potential in a row? Welcome everyone to leave your thoughts in the comments!
