On May 15, Beijing time, the American media SB Nation NBA long article analyzed whether Schifino can complete redemption in the new season, they wrote: Schifino's rookie season showed a bright future in the G League, but was interrupted due to missed games and back surgery. Will he have a chance to be redeemed with the Lakers next season? (Many Lakers fans bombarded the comment area and said it was impossible)
In the 2024 draft, the Lakers held the 17th pick in the first round and the 47th pick in the second round, and ESPN simulated the Lakers to select McCain, a freshman at Duke University with the 17th pick, this McCain is a 6-foot-3" (1.91 meter) point guard, yes, a point guard, which shocked many fans and was very afraid of selecting a talent like Schifino again.
McCain averaged 31.6 minutes per game, scored 14.3 points, 6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 turnovers, with a shooting rate of 46.2% and a three-point shooting rate of 41.4%.
Lakers fans believe that the team should no longer be superstitious about gold panning and treasure hunting.
Lakers TA reporter Josh Buha revealed in a long article that the Lakers will focus on trading reinforcements in the offseason, and the Lakers have three first-round picks that can be traded this summer, and the No. 17 pick in 2024 is one of them, so it is unlikely that the team will pick another point guard to add to the block.
The Lakers are also discussing a plan with LeBron to return, in addition to giving LeBron a three-year salary of 163 million, they are also willing to use the second-round pick No. 47 to select James' eldest son Bronny. At present, the Lakers lead the rest of the teams in the probability of selecting Bronny, and the second is the Cavaliers.
Bronny revealed in the interview that his dream is to become a star in the NBA, enter the Hall of Fame in the future, and play anywhere without having to be on the same team as his old father LeBron.
