In the 21-22 season, the usage rate was 34.4% and the true hit rate was 60.3%;

In the 22-23 season, the utilization rate was 32.6% and the true hit rate was 57.3%;

In the 23-24 season, the usage rate was 30.5% and the true hit rate was 58.5%.

This season alone, among the top 20 players in terms of usage, only Alexander, Jalen Brunson, Mitchell and Curry have higher true shooting percentages than Trae Young.

To sum up the above data, when James is absent and out of the game, Young can indeed effectively digest the ball. Note that it is "effective".

In the regular season, the usage rate was 20.3% and the true hit rate was 61.3%;

In the playoffs, the usage rate was 20.0% and the true shooting rate was 48.9%.

When the defensive intensity was small, Reaves was quite effective in digesting the ball, but as soon as the intensity came up, it exposed the lack of ball handling.

Are Trae Young and the Lakers a match made in heaven?

He has been selected as an All-Star three times in his career so far, averaging 26+10 per game in his career. If you only look at the sidelines, the big three of "Zhan Mei Yang" will inevitably push the commercial value of the Lakers to a new height. It's just that the return to the field of play is more problematic.

In the 22-23 season, the two-point assisted power was 16.7%, and the three-point assisted power was 31.8%;

In the 23-24 season, the two-point assisted power was 25.2%, and the three-point assisted power was 33.7%.

In the last two seasons alone, Trae Young is more suitable for attacking with the ball. Playing with James, after all, you have to face a very realistic point: play without the ball at critical moments.

This season, Yang averaged only 11.4 percent of his 18.7 shots per game, and his shooting percentage was only 39.5 percent. Clearly, Trae Young is better suited to the ball.

Irving held 18.2% of the shots and shot 43.8% from the field;

Booker shot 17.3 percent and shot 41.9 percent from the field.

The reason why the Lone Ranger and the Sun can form a 1+1>2 effect. It's more that Irving and Booker can play without the ball when they are on the court with Doncic and Durant.

On the other hand, Trae Young from an on-court perspective isn't a match made in heaven for the Lakers.

DeRozan 48.7%;

Curry 49.6%;

Leonard 45.5%;

Tatum 41.8%;

Trae Young 35.1%.

Although he is a three-time All-Star. But at critical moments, Yang really didn't look like a star player, but like a role player. In addition, Trae Young's defense has been negative in six seasons so far, averaging -2.2 per game. To put it mildly, completely incapable of defense.

and Mitchell limited him to 9-of-21 shooting at 18:49;

and Daron Fox at 14:41 limiting his 7-of-17 shooting;

Opposite Mikal Bridges with 10:33 to limit his 3-of-8 shooting.

In terms of data, Dejounte Murray's defensive effect is still good, which is reflected in: on the one hand, it can defend against power and speed; On the other hand, it can swing upwards to defend the front line.

It is worth mentioning that in the 21-22 season, Murray beat Paul, Sable, Haliburton and other good players to win the league's steal king.

For this steal king, if it weren't for the Lakers' reluctance to get Reaves in the middle of the season, he would have been wearing the purple and gold jersey. However, I think the Lakers will still get Murray in the offseason.

First of all, judging from the 24.7% two-point assisted power in his career, Murray also plays with the ball, and his off-ball ability is relatively average. But Murray has a defense, which means that he still has a presence on the defensive end when he loses possession.

Secondly, the Hawks beat the Wizards, Pistons, Spurs and other teams to draw the top pick. As a result, the possibility of Murray and Trae Young's departure from the team has increased dramatically.

From the Lakers' point of view, trading Murray in the first round is also acceptable. After all, it is very important to be eliminated by the Nuggets in a row, and it is important that Jamal Murray cannot be prevented.

From Murray's point of view, the Lakers are certainly more attractive than the Hawks. On the one hand, the Lakers' high exposure means that as long as they play a good performance, the commercial value will increase, and more importantly, the Lakers have the possibility of winning the championship and can also provide stable opportunities.

Looking at it this way, if the Lakers are willing to take out Reaves, they are still very likely to get Murray. Of course, in my opinion, the latter is much better than Trae Young.

Key takeaway: Defense.

is still the same sentence, because of James at the critical moment, it is difficult to get the ball. In this regard, there is a role for Murray to play in defense. And Young, who lacks the ball and defense, is basically useless at this time.
