Does anyone still remember Devin Ebanks? The Lakers' forward line that was ruined by off-court factors back then.
Devin Ebanks, Devin Ebanks, 6-foot-9 (206 cm), plays as a small forward (SF). He was born in Queens, New York City, USA in October 1989. He was produced by West Virginia University. He was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the 2010 NBA Draft. The draft template is Jared Jeffries. He only played for the Lakers (2010-2013) team in his NBA career.
Devin Ebanks is in excellent physical condition, has good physical advantage in the forward position, has high defense enthusiasm, large area for defense, can defend from No. 2 to No. 4, has a certain versatile defense, and can also create space through physical confrontation on the offensive end, and has a certain ability to shoot three-pointers on the outside. However, his ball-holding ability is weak, his offensive skills are rough, and he lacks the means to independently create scoring opportunities. He relies more on fixed-point shooting and fast break counterattacks. He has limited threats in half-field position battles, and there are many cases of unreasonable pass mistakes and offensive choices. His core strength and confrontation ability are weak, especially under high-intensity confrontation, his technical movements are prone to deformity and his stability will decrease significantly. In his three seasons of NBA career, Devin Ebanks played 64 games in total, including 15 starts, averaging 11.1 minutes per game, scoring 3.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.2 blocks. In the playoffs, they started in 6 games, averaging 14.0 minutes per game, scoring 4.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.8 blocks. Although there are not many competition samples, Ebanks also has some pretty good game performances.
On April 29, 2012, local time in the United States, the first game of the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets 103:88 at home. Devin Ebanks started for only 19 minutes, made 5 of 6 shots, and scored the highest single-game 12 points in the NBA career playoffs, plus 5 rebounds, and finally helped the Lakers eliminate their opponents 4:3 in the series. On December 13, 2012, local time, in the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the New York Knicks 107:116 away game, Ebanks played for 34 minutes on the bench, made 5 of 11 shots and 5 free throws, scoring the highest single-game 15 points in his NBA career, plus 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
Although Devin Ebanks is a small figure in the NBA, as a member of the Lakers, he is still quite popular. Therefore, he was subjected to some off-court factors in the harmonious incident at the end of 2011. Although it was proved to be a false accusation, the slander continued to be so-called exposure and entanglement. She continued to initiate civil lawsuits and accused Ebanks, hoping to obtain corresponding economic compensation, which made Ebanks unbearable and her condition greatly affected. In the mid-2012-2013 season, Devin Ebanks was cut by the Lakers. He then signed with the Knicks, but failed to get a chance to play and gradually faded out of the NBA. He played in the NBA Development League, Mexico, Israel, Puerto Rico, Italy, France, Japan, Greece, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and other leagues, and is currently playing in the Lebanese league.
