So far in the NBA season, the Lakers' overall three-point shooting percentage is 38.9%, second only to the Bulls, Hornets and 76ers in the league.
From the data point of view, it can be said that there has been a qualitative change compared to the bottom ranking of the past two seasons.
Although the Lakers' three-point data is very beautiful, we can clearly see when we split the data:
The Lakers, except for James and Anthony, who can average more than three three-pointers per game, the rest of the players have less than three shots, not even two.
To some extent, the Lakers' three points are still problematic.
I mean, if James or Anthony can't play. For example, in the Game against the Thunder on October 28, when James was out of the game due to injury and Anthony was not in good shape, the Lakers only hit 11 three-pointers and shot only 31.4%.
In other words, finding a shooter is still something for management to do. Although they still have goalscorers like Ellington who have not yet played.
But what I want to say is, if Ellington, like Danny Green and others in the past, joins the Lakers and is not allowed to do what? In fact, this possibility is not without it.
Back in the summer offseason, the Lakers made a deal with the Kings about Hield before getting Westbrook.
If the Lakers continue to shoot these three points except James and Anthony, I think the management will most likely restart the trade with Hield.
Here's why:
On the one hand, james, thick eyebrows of the offense need to look at the space;
Hilde, on the other hand, was not a non-sale of the king, or even in the future plans. In other words, the price will not be too high.
For Hield, the 4.4 three-pointers per game he has averaged so far this season are second only to Curry, and his 44 percent three-point shooting percentage can also be ranked in the league's top 15. With both quality and quantity, it can be said that it is the top shooter in the league.
In fact, in terms of three points alone, hield seems to me to be comparable to Curry's presence. Of course, the three-point defensive intensity that the two face may be different, but the ability is the same, both have no ball and ball holding shooting.
As just said, with Hield not a non-selling product for the Kings and once reached a deal with the Lakers, the Lakers are very likely to get the sharpshooter comparable to Curry, especially if there is a problem with the Lakers' three-pointers. I mean, when management is determined to do something.
