With Austin Reeves's three-point shootout, the Lakers have experienced a three-game winning streak with a 107-104 victory over the Lone Ranger in overtime, and so far this season, he has shown three skills that are better than Tucker's and deserve Vogel's reuse.
Reeves had 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal to complete a three-point shootout
So far this season, Vogel has been experimenting with how to give Thick Brow, James and Westbrook the ideal outside puzzle, so far, basically determined to be Tucker and Bradley, and today's Reeves's kill once again confirms that his three skills are better than Tucker and more worth reusing, partnering the Big Three.
One, Reeves' three points.
In this game, Reeves scored 2 of 2 three points in the first quarter, 1 of 1 in the second quarter, and 1 of 1 in the last quarter, although he lost the first shot in overtime, he hit 0.9 seconds to kill, 5 of 6 in the whole game and 15 points, and the super shooter level exists. Note that this isn't reeves' occasional outburst, and so far this season, he's averaged 0.94 three-pointers per game on 39 percent shooting, and while the production is small, it's extremely efficient and one of the three-point snipings you can trust.
Reeves scored five three-pointers, all from the receiver's projection
What about Tucker? With 27.8 percent shooting so far this season, reeves is more practical than Tucker in terms of his ability to shoot from the outside.
Second, Reeves's ballless nature.
James needs the ball, Westbrook needs the ball, Tucker's specialty, the individual ball to break through the layup, the result, when Vogel puts the three together in the starting lineup, the result is that either James sacrifices part of the ball for Tucker, or Wei Shao sacrifices part of the ball for Tucker, the team's attack is a bit sluggish, reflected in the data end: when Tucker and the dual core are on the field at the same time, the team's offensive efficiency value is 101.4, and when Tucker is not present, the team's offensive efficiency value is 107.4.
Reeves assisted Jordan Jr. with a dunk
Reeves is completely different from Tucker, and when he is on the floor at the same time as James and Westbrook, he is more immersed in the bottom corner waiting for the double core to deliver the shell for him to shoot three points, and even if he needs to respond, he will quickly hand the ball over to the double core again, rather than immersed in a solo fight. Therefore, from the perspective of no-ball attributes, Reeves is more suitable than Tucker to partner James and Westbrook.
Iii. Reeves' defense.
From the perspective of personal static talent, Tucker has a weight of 106 kilograms and an arm span of 217 centimeters; Reeves only weighs 89 kilograms and has an arm span of only 199 centimeters. So far this season, Tucker's defensive efficiency is 105.6, 96th in the league; Reeves's defensive efficiency is 98.3, not only the Lakers are the first in the team, but also 11th in the league. As for the reasons:
Reeves steals Hardaway
Reeves is 197 cm tall, 4 cm taller than Tucker; although he is underweight, he has a very soulful pace to keep up with the outside players, while Tucker moves slightly slower; when changing to the inside line, although the weight is loss, But Reeves has a very good ability to make offensive fouls, so far this season he is tied for 4th place in the league with an average of 0.3 offensive fouls per game. So, defensively, Reeves is still slightly better than Tucker.
Reeves scored three points
Reeves can not match Tucker's, his own talent under the personal ball-holding offensive ability is limited, the ceiling is not high, however, the Lakers currently have James and thick eyebrows, need is a 3D puzzle, so River is more suitable than Tucker to partner with double core; and Tucker if he leads the bench, it is more conducive to playing his own ball-holding attributes.
The conclusion is not a dead end, as can be concluded by the above analysis, Reeves's three-point, no-ball attributes and defense, all three skills are more suitable than Tucker to undertake the mission of "outside the puzzle", which is worth reusing in the starting lineup.
