High stake! The Lakers cost a lot to get a 38+17 inside line? It's not as simple as the Twin Towers of the Thick Eyebrows

It's time for the thick eyebrows to return to the number four position.

Note 1:

1. Nurkic accounted for 81.5% of the shots inside;

2. Valanciunas value 66.7%;

3. The value of thick eyebrows is 67.8%;

4. Embiid's value is 40.3%;

5. The value of the Great Lopez is 37.0%.

Statistically, the finishing of the offensive end of the thick eyebrows is more and more like a traditional interior line. To be precise, the inside line is the main one. On the contrary, the "gap" with Embiid's interior lines with spatial attributes gradually widened.

On the bright side, the true shooting percentage of 62.1% is a career-high one. Potentially, even if the main shots come from the inside, it hasn't stopped the thick eyebrows' offensive efficiency. On the bad side, it increases the chance of injury.

Explanation point 2:

1. The true plus/minus of thick eyebrows defense is 1.7;

2. Adebayo's value is 1.7;

3. The Gobert value is 1.7.

In fact, at the end of the season, Bush was named to the first team of the year along with Gobert, Adebayo, Herbert Jones and Wembanyama. From the side, the thick eyebrows have the league's top defense.

On defense, take apart the data of thick eyebrows:

1. Accounting for 28.5% of the opponent's three points in the round;

2. Accounting for 40.1% of the rounds, the opponent is less than 6 feet.

To be honest, judging from the proportion of 97% of the playing time compared to playing the No. 5 position, I don't think there is much of a problem with the thick eyebrows under the main defensive basket. The key point is that more than a quarter of the defensive rounds switch to the perimeter. In fact, it's okay to take it out alone. The problem is the switching between the inner and outer lines.

To put it bluntly, frequent travel between the inner and outer lines is not conducive to the preservation of physical strength. The physical strength decreases quickly, and the probability of invisibly being injured comes up.

As for defense, the Lakers also have Vanderbilt on their roster. If you use the data: 36.7% of the rounds to defend the opponent's outside line, suppressing its efficiency from 44.2% to 37.5%.

For comparison:

1. Caruso limits the opponent's three-point rate to 36.0%;

2. Zhu Holiday value 36.6%;

3. Derek White's value is 33.6%;

4. McDaniels' value is 35.8%.

Statistically, Vanderbilt's defensive perimeter ability is close to the defensive level. In other words, when Vanderbilt stays healthy, he can greatly share the pressure of the thick eyebrows on the perimeter defense. In fact, the Lakers have a defensive efficiency of 109.3 when Bushy and Vanderbilt are on the floor. Looking at the league, it is second only to the Timberwolves' 108.4.

That said, when Bushy Eyebrows and Vanderbilt are on the floor together, the Lakers have the league's top defense.

As for the offensive end, it's hard to effectively share the pressure of the Lakers' lack of space players. Speaking of which, I have to mention the combination of Da Lopez and Brother Alphabet.

1. Since the 19-20 season, Brother Alphabet's inside shot has never been less than 68%;

2. Since the 18-19 season, the proportion of Lopez's three-point shots has been less than 40%.

It is with the space point of Da Lopez that although the finish mainly comes from the inside line, Brother Alphabet still plays like a fish in water. In addition to its own hard power, it is directly related to the containment of Da Lopez. For example, against the Pacers, Bulls, Mavericks, and Rockets, the average three-point percentage of Lopez is not less than 40% in at least 45+ games.

At the same time, according to well-known journalist Sean Brown, Deveney revealed: The Lakers, Knicks and Heat are all interested in Markkanen as an interior player.

Taking Brother Alphabet and Da Lopez as examples, this rumor is still credible.

First of all, in the 403 games so far in his career, Markkanen has a three-point rate of 37.5% and an average of 2.5 goals per game. Considering the height of 213, it has a top-level spatial attribute.

Secondly, judging from the data of 38+17 obtained from the Suns, Markkanen not only has spatial attributes but also has strong combat power.

Moreover, Markkanen and the Jazz have one year and 18 million contracts left this summer.

To put it bluntly, the third point is that the Lakers and other teams are looking for a breakthrough in trading. Of course, then again, consider Markkanen's ability and the Jazz have Angie. If the Lakers want to get Markkanen, they will have to pay at least three first-rounders, Reaves and other high prices.

From the Jazz's point of view, the Lakers' first round, especially the first round in 29 and 31, considering that James has long since retired and his thick eyebrows have passed, can be said to be very valuable. In addition, Reeves' instant combat power is also in line with the rebuild. In other words, the Lakers have three first-rounders, Reaves and other chips are very likely to get Markkanen.

Of course, it will take time to see how this gamble will end. But at least what is certain is that Markkanen will not only be able to form a twin tower with Bushy Eyebrows, but also open up space for the latter's attack.
