Losing consecutively to the Timberwolves and Bulls, the Lakers' inside line is in a hurry, Howard is isolated, the thick eyebrows are injured, and the Indian center is only Jordan Jr., according to the new epidemic prevention policy, Pelinka can sign new signings to enhance the immediate combat strength, but he did not choose to strengthen the inside line, but signed two Jones in a row.
In fact, so far this season, what the outside world has not understood is that the Lakers are crazy hoarding small guards and ignoring the intention of the short board of the front. In the latest episode of the Lakers documentary "Behind the Scenes of the Lakers," Pelinka confirmed two things that had been mostly hinted at before: the Lakers traded Westbrook and signed more ball carriers because the team wanted to reduce James' physical consumption; the Lakers didn't think they could judge the team's strength well until Nunn and Ariza fully returned.
However, in the case of a serious drop in the height of the front, James began to make a cameo appearance in the No. 5 position, which was more physically consuming for him, I am afraid that this is something that the Lakers did not expect. This time to continue the Jones family lineage, is it not true that the defender is more important than the tactical role of the front? Let's start with the next two Joneses.
Gemério Jones is a former Lakers player who previously played for the Wisconsin Deer, a development league team under the Bucks, where he is 1.96 meters tall and weighs 79 kilograms, and is a forward-guard swingman. At the end of March 2019, he joined the South Bay Lakers and played in 6 games, averaging 4.5 points, 8.2 boards and 2.2 assists and 1.2 breaks per game, shooting 36.4% overall and shooting 20% from three-point range.
Born in Dallas on July 21, 1998, Mason Jones did not play until his senior year at AAA College high school in Dallas, where he spent his freshman year at the University of Connors in Oklahoma, averaging 15.5 points, 6.9 boards and 2.5 assists per game.
In the NBA, Jones is a big surname. The Lakers also signed a "Jones" last season, Damian Jones. He is 2 meters tall and 11 meters tall as a center, and was selected by the Warriors with the 30th pick in the first round of 2016, and won the championship with the team for 2 times. Damian played eight games for the Lakers last season and for the Kings this season.
Obviously, Damian Jones is the lakers lack immediate combat power, unfortunately, he has established a foothold in the King. The Lakers signed Gemellio and Mason for emergency, can they leave a mark on the Purple and Gold Army?
