The NBA regular season continued, with the Pacers beating the Pistons 122-113 and Pacers forward Le Vere doing well. On 12-of-18 shooting, he had 31 points, three rebounds, five assists and two steals, making him his best game of the season.
Le Vere's performance this season has been up and down this season due to injuries and other reasons, and the career-plagued forward has not been able to continue the Pacers' average of 20.7 points per game last season.
But LeVille is capable, as an all-round forward with good breakthrough and shooting ability, as long as he gives LeVille enough trust and opportunities, he can bring a lot of help to the team on the field.
In this game against the Pistons, Le Vere played well. With enough aggressiveness, Le Vere not only played an efficient offense on the offensive end, but also scored 9 free throws, and finally got a 30+ performance on the offensive end.
Since the rumors of the trade, Le Ver, who has been put on the shelves again, no longer has any fear. Last season, he was traded by the Nets to the Pacers, becoming one of the Nets' chips to get Harden. Harden eventually teamed up with Durant and Irving as he wished, and Le Vere, who had previously played well with the Nets, had to pack his bags to go to the Pacers.
But LeVert's abilities cannot be concealed. Just like he made a splash in the 2019-20 season (March 4, 2020) when he hit 51 points in a single game, but in fact, before that, he already had good ability, and all he lacked was opportunity.
In the 2019-20 season, LeVert averaged 18.7 points per game. In the 2020-21 season, he averaged 18.5 points in 12 games for the Nets, and instead of declining because of the presence of Irving and Durant, he became a very important player for the Nets. Against the Grizzlies, he blasted down 43 points.
Now, no matter which team ends up with Le Vere, I believe he can contribute on the offensive end.
