Doncic has a usage rate of 36.0% and a true shooting percentage of 61.7%;

Alexander's usage rate was 32.8%, and his true hit rate was 63.6%;

Mitchell's usage rate was 31.4% and his true hit rate was 59.5%;

Trae Young's usage rate was 30.5%, and his true hit rate was 58.5%;

Lillard has a usage rate of 28.4% and a true shooting percentage of 59.0%.

Statistically, Trae Young is really good at consuming possession. From a ball perspective alone, there's nothing wrong with the Lakers being interested in Trae Young. After all, at this stage, there are no players in the Lakers team other than James who can effectively digest the ball.

To add another word, effective digestion is not only about finishing efficiency, but also about pulling the defensive line and creating opportunities for teammates.

In the 20-21 quarter, the proportion of receiving investment was 13.3%;

In the 21-22 quarter, the proportion of receiving investment was 17.3%;

In the 22-23 quarter, the proportion of receiving investment was 17.8%;

In the 23-24 quarter, the proportion of receiving investment was 16.5%.

It is an indisputable fact that the proportion of James without the ball has been on the rise in the past four seasons. But this season, for example, James averaged 2.4 shots per game at key moments, 13th in the league. More than 95% of these shots were from holdings.

In other words, the basketball has to go back to James at the critical moment that determines the outcome of the game.

Curry shot 45.2 percent from the field;

Durant shot 48.1 percent from the field;

Anunoby shot 40.1 percent from the field;

Duncan Robinson shot 39.3 percent from the field;

Trae Young shot 36.3 percent from the field.

Obviously, Trae Young's off-ball efficiency, not to mention superstars and stars, is a gap with role players. This also means that once there is no large amount of ball support, Trae Young does not have a high presence on the offensive end.

In the 19-20 season, the defensive true plus/minus was -2.3;

In the 21-22 season, the defensive true plus/minus was -2.0;

In the 23-24 season, the defensive true plus/minus was -2.3.

First of all, Trae Young was selected as an All-Star in these three seasons; Second, being selected as an All-Star is more about offense than defense. To add another word, the career average of -2.2 defensive true plus/minus per game indicates that Trae Young has no presence on the defensive end.

The defense is not good, and without the ball is not interesting. Does this smell like Wei Shao?

The Pistons limited opponents to 37.0 percent three-point percentage;

Spurs limit opponents' three-point rate by 37.3%;

The Lakers limit opponents to 37.6 percent three-point percent;

The Hornets limited opponents to 37.7 percent three-point percentage.

Take a look at the Lakers' outside defense and fish belly at a level. Of course, this has something to do with Vanderbilt's long-term absence.

The Timberwolves are limited to opponents shooting under 10 feet from the field and shooting 57.5 percent;

The Celtics are limited to opponents shooting under 10 feet and shooting 57.8 percent;

The Magic limited opponents to under 10-foot shooting 59.5 percent;

The Lakers are limited to opponents shooting under 10 feet and shooting 59.8 percent.

Looking at it this way, there is not much difference between the Lakers' interior defense and the top defensive powerhouses. To a certain extent, the overall defensive quality of the Lakers "picking up" the outside defense has come up.

Caruso limited opponents to 36.0 percent three-point percent;

Smart limited opponents to 32.6 percent three-point percent;

Jrue Holiday limited opponents to 36.6 percent of three-point percent;

McDaniels limited opponents to 35.8 percent three-point percentage;

Bridges limited opponents to 35.8 percent three-point percentage.

Statistically, Bridges' perimeter efficiency is comparable to that of top defenders.

1. Career so far, accounting for 18% of the playing time to play the second position;

2. Career so far, accounting for 67% of the playing time playing the No. 3 position;

3. Career so far, 15% of the playing time plays the No. 4 position.

In addition, judging from the above data, Bridges, like Maddy, Joe Johnson and others, is still a swingman at the front.

It has been revealed that the Lakers will try to trade Bridges this summer. It's a rumor, but I think there's credibility. What's more, the Lakers are very likely to trade the swingman who averages 20+5 per game this season.

First of all, Bridges and the Nets still have a two-year, 48 million contract left this summer. In other words, the latter is about to usher in the pressure of contract renewal.

It is not denied that since the Suns switched to shooting the Nets, Bridges has shown the potential to go from "3D" to "core". But there is still a gap between the building blocks of Wembanyama and Edwards. In this regard, the Lakers can offer Bridges with chips such as 24/25 and 29 + Reaves and Hachimura.

From the Nets' point of view, despite Bridges' good performance, he still hasn't made the playoffs this season. This is one of them. Second, the latter will face a contract renewal, so it is better to take advantage of the high price to trade and choose to rebuild. You must know that James has long retired in 29 years, and the draft picks brought by the thick eyebrows have passed their peak is still very valuable.

From Bridges' point of view, the Lakers are certainly more attractive than the Nets. After all, under this ultra-high exposure, as long as you play a good performance, you won't have to worry about a big contract in the future.

Therefore, this potential deal is very promising given the attractiveness of the other party.

I think Bridges is a lot more reliable than Trae Young.

First, Bridges can play multiple positions, which invisibly promotes the diversification of skills and tactics;

Second, even if the offensive end can't open the game, Bridges still has defense, while defending Trae Young doesn't.
