What kind of life do you like, is it ups and downs, or is it plain? Is it vigorous, or is it simple? Of course, sometimes life is not up to you.
What did he go through this year? Abandoned by 3 teams in turn, scrambled by the Lakers and Nets Warriors, and fell to the bottom of his career
He is Golan. Dragic, look at what Dragic has experienced this year? To describe it in four words,
Ups and downs!
On August 7, 2021, Dragic was sent to the Raptors by the Heat
On February 11, 2022, Dragic was sent to the Spurs by the Raptors
On February 15, 2022, Dragic was bought out by the Spurs
On February 22, 2022, Dragic signed with the Nets.
After coming to the Nets, what about Dragic's stats? What is the status? Is it possible for the Nets to keep Dragic this summer? Four numbers may tell us the answer.
One,37.6%
That's Dragic's shooting percentage at the Nets, which is the lowest in Dragic's career and even lower than in his rookie season.
Two,24.5%
This is Dragic's three-point shooting rate at the Nets, which is also the lowest in Dragic's career, averaging 0.8 three-pointers per game, the second lowest in his career, only better than in his rookie season.
Three, 113.1
It was Dragic's defensive efficiency at the Nets, the worst of his career. It's too hard to ask dragic, 35, to come forward on the defensive end.
Think about the picture of Dragic being competed by 6 teams such as the Lakers and Nets warriors more than a month ago, and look at the current situation of playing the worst season of his career. What to say?
Why can't Dragic play against the Nets? Is it Dragic's own reasons? Or will the Nets not use Dragic?
First, the block is gone
In the 2019-2020 season in the Heat, Dragic averaged 6.5 blocks per game, shooting 43.7% after blocking and dismantling, and scoring 0.94 points per game.
At the Nets this season, Dragic averaged just 3.3 blocks per game, shooting 39.5 percent from the field and scoring just 0.66 points per game.
This season, the Nets have averaged 15.4 blocks per game, ranking 27th in the league and fourth from the bottom, and in such a team that does not like to block, Dragic has a hard time.
Second, catch the ball and shoot
Dragic likes to have the ball in hand, this season in the Nets round share of only 16.4%, the lowest career, to know that Dragic career is only a rookie season, the possession rate of the round is less than 20%, the rest of the season is above 20%, last season in the Heat round 23.9%.
As a result of the low possession rate of the round, Dragic has shot 31.8% of the ball at the Nets this season, the highest in his career.
Third, the Nets environment
Although Harden is gone, the Nets still have two superstars Durant and Irving, nash is also fierce to the two superstars, the ball is basically in the hands of these two, the others' work is very simple.
Shoot the ball on the outside, eat pie under the basket and defend. So Mills, Curry Jr., Drummond played, and Dragic was very awkward.
Fourth, age
Dragic, born in 1986, is still 35 years old, and after entering May, he is 36 years old. For a player, it's the end of his career, don't compare with Paul James.
If you want to rejuvenate the second spring of your career, you need to change the way you play, from the way you play with the ball to the way you play without the ball, from blocking and killing to catching the ball, just like Anthony, can Dragic do it? It's really a little hard! Such Dragic is expected to part ways with the Nets this summer.
Fans, do Dragic still have oil on him? Going to other teams, can Dragic still usher in the second spring? Leave me a message to discuss.
