On February 3, Beijing time, Lakers head coach Vogel specifically praised a Lakers player in an interview with the media, that is, the 1-meter-93-tall wing player Bezmore.
Last offseason, Bazemore left the Warriors, and Ben was given high hopes by Lakers fans. However, after the start of the new season, Bazemore's performance has not been ideal, the starting position has been lost, and the playing time has plummeted.
So far this season, Bazemore has played in 29 games, averaging 15.2 minutes per game, 3.9 points, 1.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.7 steals, and shooting 37.1% from three-point range.
However, the fans were not satisfied with Bazemore, but Lakers coach Vogel praised Bazemore. He said in an interview, "Bazemore's character and attitude can be scored perfectly and given the difficult situation of the current team, he is the highlight of our season. Bazemore has great respect for his work and is very active in video conferences. ”
However, although Vogel praised Bezmore in an interview, in fact, many trade rumors involving the Lakers have Bazemore's name. For example, the Nets intend to buy out Millsap, and a reporter broke the news that the Lakers may cut Bazemore and turn around and sign him. Many Lakers fans also hope that the team can send him away and exchange a more suitable championship puzzle for James, Thick Brow and Westbrook.
So at present, Vogel's praise may indeed have a good attitude of Bazmore, but frankly, in the case of such a lack of people on the Lakers' flank, Bazemore is still difficult to get stable playing time this season. In this case, it is difficult to say how long Bazemore can stay with the Lakers.
