Again and again, the team suffered four consecutive defeats; when The old Zhan said in front of the camera: "We don't have any lineup with sufficient chemistry right now." The simple fact is that we don't have enough time to do this yet. What should be the arrangement of our starting lineup outside of me, Westbrook and Thick Brow? I do not know. His frustration was already palpable.
Playing five small but no projection ability, offense is not good, defense is not good, the Lakers intend to continue to adjust; WOJ burst, the Lakers will use difficult exceptions with guard Darren. Collison and forward Stanley. Johnson signed a 10-day contract and hopes they play in the Christmas battle against the Nets.
Stanley. Johnson, who played for the Lakers Development League team, triggered a health and safety agreement after reaching a 10-day contract with the Bulls. Even if he performed very generally in the first 371 NBA games in his career, the draft template that year was Stanley Johnson of Artest at least had a standard forward body, tough style of play and excellent confrontation, with the ability to defend multiple positions; and then look at the Lakers are currently defensive "ten thousand pokes", their only three legitimate fronts are Guago, Old Zhan, Ariza, three old men over the age of 110, Stanley Johnson This sufficient size, can defend the front line is indeed the Lakers need to supplement.
Collison's choice to retire two years ago for "family and faith" was somewhat unexpected; and with the entire coalition severely understaffed by the pandemic, Stephenson returned, Joe Scott. Johnson is back, Zhou Qi has a scandal with the Lakers, and It is not a surprise that Collison returned to the league.
Looking back at Collison's previous career, he did not have a particularly high peak, but also did not have a particularly failed low, is a stable point guard who averages 12+5 per game and shoots 40% from three-point range (including 46.8% of Collison's three-point shooting rate in the 17-18 season, ranking first in the league). The two most important labels he had before on the basketball court were that He played as a substitute for Him at UCLA (Wei Shao was also the main player at UCLA with the No. 2 stature), and the other was that he played as a substitute for Paul at the Hornets and clippers.
Whether it is from the style of the ball, or from the body point of view, Collison is like a "shrunken version of Paul"; he is very good at launching blocking attacks, with excellent overall view and good small play ability. So the best period of his career statistics was basically played on Paul's team, using Paul to recuperate from injury.
Can organize not greedy rights, the overall view and defense are not bad, but also has a 40% three-point shooting rate, in the summer of 19, when he became a free agent, many experts in the United States believe that he has at least a year to take 15 million level; so he suddenly chose to retire that year, playing a lot of people a surprise.
Collison's technical ability will not be doubted, but he has not played an NBA-level game in two years, and whether his physical condition can quickly adapt to the intensity of the game may have to be a question mark. But no matter how Collison's physical condition remains now, his joining is not good news for Thomas Jr.
Consider that even if Nunn and Munch, Bradley, Bezmore and Rivers are still on the injury list, the number of the Lakers' existing guard line can still make up two tables of mahjong (counting the two-way contract). This also means that in the last two occasions, 2 of 16 angrily cut 5 points, and the defense is constantly "stabbed" by the other side. Lakers reporter Harrison Faigen has already said in the article: "Signing Collison is certainly not good news for Thomas Jr., which may mean that he will leave after the end of his first 10-day contract." Considering that Thomas Jr. signed with the Pelicans in April or signed the Lakers this time, what he shows on the court is that the offensive is not good, and the attributes of the defense are unbearable, I am afraid that Thomas Jr. will really find a job in the league again.
