Average of 10.5 points! Lakers, he is more suitable for the team than Wiggins

According to the NBA China official website, it was revealed that the Lakers and the Heat restarted negotiations on Wiggins, and the former was willing to send Kneckett out.

It was previously revealed that Riley had been insisting on asking for the first round, but Pelinka obviously did not want it or the deal would have been reached long ago.

What is the purpose of the Lakers wanting Wiggins?

Simply put, he should be a forward player at this stage who is likely to be able to obtain a certain attack and defense and keep shooting. Theoretically, strengthening the last link of the team - there is no such type of player in the team at this stage.

But it should be noted that the real positive and negative value of "Big Mouth" defense in his career has been -1.4 - the season value of the Warriors won the championship with the Warriors in the 21-22 season is 0.1, which is also the only time in his career has been positive.

In other words, it is still unknown whether it can play the defense of the Warriors after coming to the Lakers. Of course, this may also be the main reason why Pelinka is unwilling to make the first round.

For this, I don't think the Lakers need to "hang" on the Wiggins tree. In fact, there are many people who are more suitable for the team than him. For example, Obi Topin. In the offensive end, 24-25 season, Wiggins averaged 18 points and scored 10.5 points per game. There is indeed a gap between the two, but the problem is that both the Warriors and the Heat Wiggins are starting, especially after being traded to Miami, Coach Spoel gave many opportunities to perform - the average 14.8 shots per game is the highest since the 20-21 season. In contrast, Toping is just one of the main rotations of the Pacers.

However, the 36.5% three-point rate and 69.5% two-point rate indicate that you have a strong ability to seize opportunities. In fact, the 64.2% true shooting rate of high-end data can be comparable to superstars such as Durant.

Let's talk about holding the investment again. The two-point assisted power of Toppling this season was 75.8%, which means that 3 of the 4 sports games were taken from the receiving end. Although there are not many shots, referring to the shooting rate just now, the efficiency is still guaranteed. To be precise, it is not that you cannot hold the investment, it is just that it is not a conventional ending method. The offensive efficiency is guaranteed, which is one of them.

Defensive end

As the No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft year, it is definitely not as good as Wiggins than his physical talent, but as the champion of the 22-year dunk contest, his physical talent is also of high quality.

Excellent physical talent, coupled with a certain defensive enthusiasm and reading game ability, so the real positive and negative values ​​of the defense in his career are -0.1 and Wiggins -1.4.

It should be noted that Wiggins has been the starting player since he entered the league, and Toppin is a rotation in both the Knicks and the Pacers. Potentially, the two face different offensive players. But from another perspective, it is obvious that the defense is better when facing offensive players of the same level. The defensive end has obvious advantages, which is the second one. Wiggins was 30 years old, born in 95, and Toppin was 27 years old. It is true that the former's health-preserving style is ridiculed to be able to beat until the age of 50, but it is obvious that the latter has an age advantage and the potential play time is relatively longer. There is an advantage in age, which is the third one.

In summary, Toppin is more suitable for the Lakers than Wiggins, which is mainly reflected in three points:

1. The offensive efficiency is guaranteed;

2. The relative efficiency on the defensive end is better;

3. There is an advantage in age.

Relatively speaking, I think the second point is the main reason.

First of all, the Lakers are relatively not short of attacks under the premise of "Dong Zhanli", and Ayton's offense is also of excellent level. Although Topin's offense does not reach the core level, it is definitely not a "black hole" like Vanderbilt.

Secondly, the defensive end is better than Wiggins, which is not only reflected in one season but in the entire career. Defense is the key to the Lakers' hope to win Wiggins.

Finally, Wiggins can basically do the topping, and the chips he pays should be lower than the former.
