There is an endless stream of players coming to the Lakers tryout this Saturday, and there is a familiar name on the list - Meyers Leonard!
That's right, it's the man who was crushed by King for a layup and knocked out of the meme abruptly...
Good guy, the tryout can also be so rolled, the same are inside players, it seems that Cousins' re-employment pressure is not small.
Unlike Kaoshen, Leonard has no major injury experience, is physically unimpeded, has maintained a good appearance rate during the Blazers period, and is still a member of the "male model group";
In his second season with the Heat, Leonard was left without a ball due to his deathly behavior.
Leonard last appeared in the NBA in the 20-21 season.
In March of that year, he spoke out during the Call of Duty game livestream, and made racist remarks about Jews for the sake of the show's effect.
As you can imagine, he received a decision from the game sponsor to stop the live broadcast and cancel the sponsorship at the first time;
Calls from Hot Team executives followed, and by the time Leonard realized the magnitude of the problem, it was too late.
After the Heat quickly traded Leonard to the Thunder, the latter cut him without giving him a single appearance.
However, the reason why Leonard was abandoned by the NBA, in addition to racial discrimination, was that he also underwent shoulder and ankle surgery at that time, and he could not play for a while.
That's two years.
Leonard is not idle at home, training hard to stay in shape, and also shooting some daily humorous jokes with his wife Internet celebrity Eli;
Finally, he also started the "Human Creation Project" and shouldered the heavy responsibility of his father.
Needless to say, this pair of CP is really a talented woman.
Especially Ailey, who used to be a varsity player, is not inferior to Leonard in the slightest...
Moreover, appearance is also an existence that can fight and resist... It's not for nothing that you can get mixed up in the Internet celebrity circle.
Ahem ~ back to business
The Lakers are always looking for big men with shooting ability, and Leonard is indeed a good signing, after all, he has maintained a career shooting percentage of 39% from three-point range.
It's almost defensively. Don't look at the height of 2.13 meters, a weight of 110+kg, and a tendon meat, in fact, it is a physique that is not useful, the movement speed and confrontation are all middle and lower level, and the interior line with poor mobility is difficult to bring the ideal frame effect to the team.
However, considering that the thick eyebrows are now in the stage of gradual recovery training, the hidden danger of foot injury cannot be underestimated, and the Lakers will also limit their playing time at that time, so Leonard, who is the No. 4 position, can still play a role in being on the verge and decompressing the team in a short period of time.
Forming a set of interior twin towers with Bryant should not be a big problem.
But two years away from the court, Leonard's competitive state does have to put a big question mark, whether he can capture the hearts of the Lakers, so as to catch the free ride back to the NBA, the opportunity is all up to himself.
