The Lakers' record this season has been very bad, but there is one player who still becomes the winner, and that is Munch. Munch showed no intention of signing him during last offseason, except for the Lakers and The Lone Rangers, who gave him an offer. In a sense, without these two teams, Munch might not have played the ball by now. In these two teams, Munch also finally chose to join the Lakers with a basic salary, and he hopes to prove his value and strength again in the Lakers.
In the 69 games he played for the team, he started 31 games, and in the 27.7 minutes of playing time, Munch was able to get 13.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists, shooting 47.3%, and averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game on the outside, shooting 39.2%.
It is worth mentioning that the average of 13.4 points per game set a new single-season scoring record for Munch's career, while 47.3% shooting rate and 2.3 three-pointers per game are also new munch career highs. In terms of personal performance, Munch played the best performance of his career with the Lakers, and with a basic salary, he re-proved his worth with his performance on the court, and he proved that he was a player who could still play at a high level in the league.
In this season's Lakers, Munch is the biggest gain of the team, as a base salary player, he played the performance of the main rotation player, ushering in a big explosion on the personal offensive end. In the game that has ended this season, Munch has played multiple single-game 20+ and 30+ performances, and he is the Lakers' brightest performance on the individual offensive end of the Lakers besides the three stars.
When the stars are not in good shape, Munch can also usher in a breakout in the game to help the team win the game, such as against the Knicks, Munch scored 29 points on 11-of-20 shooting to help the team win at home. When facing the Wizards, Munch scored 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting, becoming a good helper on James's side, and he also had a good performance at key moments, and he was the hero of the team's victory. Munch has played the role of a key player in the game many times this season, and although he is only a low-salary player, he is no worse than those with big contracts, and he can help the team win the game in the game.
While it's a shame munch's performance this season, he's struggled to help the team hit the playoffs, which are currently only 11th in the West and have fallen out of the playoffs. But the team's poor record, which will not affect Munch's future development, has been successful in justifying himself this season, he has proved with his personal performance that he can still stay in this league and get high scores.
Coupled with Munch's playing for the Lakers, his popularity and popularity have also increased to a certain extent. Even if the Lakers can't make it to the playoffs this season, Munch still hopes to sign a big contract, and his excellent scoring ability, accurate outside three-pointers, and ability to finish key moments can help the team get better. I believe that in this offseason, there will be many teams that want to sign Munch, and he is also expected to sign a big contract and continue to shine in this league.
