Russell 1-for-1 Lakers twin towers, this time there is a move on Jokic

Russell 1-for-1 Lakers twin towers, this time there is a move on Jokic

In the last five games, Wood has averaged only 4.8 points per game since the Trail Blazers to be exact. To make matters worse, the three-point percentage is 0.

In the 303 games so far in his career, Wood has shot 33.9% from three-point range, 37.6% from three-point range, and averaged 1.3 shots per game. Statistically, Wood is a three-point dominant big man. In other words, when the three-point shooting is not played, Wood is not very useful on the offensive end.

In fact, it seems to me that Wood is also unreliable.

First, defense. So far in his career, Wood has defended a true plus/minus of -0.4 and has not had a season. It is not denied that the defensive enthusiasm has improved a lot this season. But more often than not, it's not just about being aggressive.

Second, the figure. Wood, who is 208 tall and weighs 97 kilograms, is tall and thin from the point of view of déjà vu. Potentially, it can't lead the defense of power centers like Embiid and Jokic.

Based on the second point, this is the main reason why the Lakers have twin tower resources, but Ham will still push the thick eyebrows to the No. 5 spot. To put it bluntly, Bushy Eyebrows have tonnage and Wood doesn't.

When it comes to the Twin Towers, it's hard to bypass Downs and Goebel. This not only refers to the Timberwolves' record under their leadership, but more importantly, it has played a good role model for the league, to be precise, to lead Jokic.

In terms of statistics, so far this season, Towns and Jokic are tied up for 7 minutes and 05 seconds, limiting the latter to 5 of 14 shots, and Gobert and Jokic are facing up for 2 minutes and 53 seconds, limiting the latter to 7 shots and 1 of them.

In other words, to deal with Jokic, you have to be a traditional power center, which is physically exhaustive to him.

From this point of view, if the Lakers want to go further this season, they need to strengthen the interior line. To be precise, find a traditional power center.

For the Lakers, there are good candidates for reinforcement at this stage.

Because of the poor record, it was revealed that the Bulls had considered roster restructuring and even rebuilding, and at this time, core players such as LaVine, DeRozan, and Vucevic became the target of reinforcement for many teams. Among them, what needs to be explained about Vucevic is:

Explanation point 1: Figure. Vucevic, who is 208 tall and weighs 111 kilograms, has a standard inside build. To be precise, the tonnage is sufficient.

Note 2: Contracts. Vucevic and the Bulls still have three years left on their contracts for nearly $60 million.

For the Lakers, the second point is the key to getting Vucevic. I mean, it was possible to do 1-for-1 with Russell.

On the one hand, it is true that Russell is on a 1+1 contract, but it is basically an expiring contract, which helps the Bulls in their follow-up, and on the other hand, with Lonzo Ball's season reimbursed, the Bulls are short of point guards.

For the Lakers alone, getting Vucevic also means forming the twin towers of thick eyebrows and Vucevic. Admittedly, Vucevic's single defensive effect is average, but with the addition of thick eyebrows, it is different.

It's like the Timberwolves' twin towers, and the defensive effect of Towns alone is average, but with the addition of Gobert, it can lead Jokic very well.
