No scoring ability at all! Did the Lakers front line really work hard on shooting in the summer?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers at home 119-109. After this game, the Warriors faced their old rivals and got a good start to the new regular season, while the Lakers suffered their first loss of the new season, and the team's competitiveness in the game was also very worrying.

In this game, the Lakers' substitute forward Jarred Vanderbilt's performance was very average. Vanderbilt played 11 minutes and 56 seconds, 0 of 4 shots, 0 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, no points, only 3 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2 turnovers, with a plus-minus of -4. Vanderbilt has no touch on the offensive end, and his scoring ability is still at a very unsatisfactory level. He also seriously hinders the team on the offensive end, and his ability to make three open shots is beyond everyone's normal understanding. Although Vanderbilt has a positive attitude on the defensive end, his overall performance is actually very average. His defensive contribution is not completely satisfactory, nor does he have the effect that the defensive gate should have. It can be said that Vanderbilt has not played his value at all, which is also an important factor in his relatively limited playing time.

In the NBA regular season last season, Vanderbilt was affected by injuries and only played 36 times in 82 games, averaging 16.1 minutes per game. The data were 4.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1 steal, 0.3 blocks, 0.8 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. The shooting percentage was 48.8%, the three-point shooting percentage was 28.1%, and the free throw percentage was 55.6%. In the playoffs, Vanderbilt played a total of 5 times, averaging 12 minutes per game. He averaged 1.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.6 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 0.6 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. He shot 33.3% from the field, 0% from three-point range, and 75% from the free throw line. In the previous NBA preseason, Vanderbilt played a total of 5 times, averaging 18.9 minutes per game, averaging 5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. He also had 1.2 turnovers and 1 foul. He shot 35.5% from the field, 5.4% from the three-point range, and 33.3% from the free throw line.

According to previous news, Vanderbilt has worked hard on three-pointers this summer. His shooting ability has been significantly improved, and he is also capable of providing more help and support to the team on the offensive end. As a result, during the preseason, his offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage were still appalling. As of this game, Vanderbilt's condition is still in a mess, and he still has not shown any improvement in scoring ability. He has no contribution at all on the offensive end. Regardless of Vanderbilt's defensive ability, it will be difficult for him to play a role in the team.
