Beijing time on January 12, 2019! Today, Lakers reporter Joey Ramirez released a set of statistics about Lakers guard Malik Munch. The data shows that Munch has made just eight dunks in all 42 of his 42 games last season, while munch has completed 19 dunks in 36 of his 36 games this season.
In addition, Munch's shooting percentage from the basket this season is as high as 73.2%, a career high. So far this season, Munch has averaged 26 minutes per game, 12.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists, and a three-point shooting rate of 39.6%, which should be the lakers' more stable and excellent shooter. It is worth mentioning that Munch's average score per game this season is even a little higher than Tucker's 30 million contract extensions.
In the 2017 NBA Draft, Malik Munch was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 11th pick in the first round to start his NBA career, and last season Munch played for the Hornets, scoring 11.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists, and shooting 40% from three-point range. In the previous offseason, Munch joined the Lakers with a base salary of $1.79 million a year.
Munch is one of the few young players the Lakers has brought in, and perhaps for that reason, Munch has increased his dunks a lot this season. Munch's performance in the Lakers this season is obvious to all, so Munch may continue to be in the Lakers' team building in the future, as a very reliable role player.
