On November 9th, Beijing time, Hachimura will usher in a comeback, he failed to get to the Lakers' starting spot this season, and his performance on the bench has declined slightly, some Lakers media began to feel that Pelinka gave him three years and 51 million losses, and even Chinese celebrity Yang Yi thought that it was too big to give Hachimura such a contract.
Hachimura has only played three games this season and has been injured for four consecutive games, averaging only 14.7 minutes per game, scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.3 blocks, with a shooting rate of 42.1% and a three-point shooting rate of 33.3%, his three-point stability is far less than that of the Western Finals period, and Yang Yi's teacher said that "who doesn't know how to eat dumplings", Hachimura has never been a stable three-point shooter, and the lateral speed is slow, Ham does not let him play the first There is a certain reason.
The American media NBA analysis network directly suggested that the Lakers use Hachimura to exchange Harrison Barnes, believing that the deal is a win-win situation, the Kings need a new rhythm and system, and the Lakers need three-point shooting and defense on the front line, Barnes is obviously more experienced than Hachimura, and the three-point shot is more accurate.
Barnes currently has 6 games, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, scoring 13.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists, shooting 51% from the field, 46.4% from three-point range, and 2.2 three-pointers per game.
Of course, the Hachimura trade for Barnes doesn't know if the Kings can agree to it, and maybe the Lakers will need to take a second-round pick to impress the Kings. The Kings have been on a downward spiral since Fox's injury, and they are in dire need of adjustments/changes, with Barnes starting to dip on 1-of-6 shooting in the most recent game.
If the Lakers can trade successfully, the starting Russell, Reaves, Barnes, James, Davis, and Vanderbilt, Vincent, Prince, Wood, and Hayes on the bench will really feel stronger.
