Hachimura s top 3D? Perlinka s idea is right, the Lakers have no shortcomings anymore, and the new season is worth looking forward to

Since the moment Ayton joined the Los Angeles Lakers, it can be foreseeable that Hachimura's irreplaceability has declined significantly.

Explanation point 1: China Investment. In the 24-25 season, Hachimura made 45 shots, with a shooting rate of 45.5%; Ayton made 96 shots, with a shooting rate of 45.8%. Obviously, Ayton is stably under Yamura Kobaya regardless of output or quality.

Explanation point 2: No ball. This season, Hachimura made 260 shots, with a shooting rate of 43.1%; Ayton made 243 shots, with a shooting rate of 41.2%. According to the data, there is not much difference between the two without the ball.

Overall, as a forward, Hachimura Shigeru has better three-point finishing ability than Ayton, while the latter has better central shot ability than the former. There is not much difference in other offenses, and it can be said that Ayton can replace Hachimura with good luck.

For the Lakers' management, it can be fully utilized to strengthen the expiration contract of Hachimura. What are the shortcomings of the Lakers' lineup after the center strengthens?

is obviously the wing leader defends and chases people. To put it more, Vanderbilt interferes with his opponent's 96 shots in the 24-25 season, and can limit his opponent's shooting rate from 37.3% to 33.3%. The efficiency of a 4.0% reduction is good, but the problem is that the "glass" physique is that it may cause damage at any time.

The interesting thing comes now.

According to the US media Sports Illustrated, the Lakers are planning to trade Wiggins with Hachimura as the main body.

For Wiggins, I would like to define it as the top 3D of the past.

Reason 1: Three points. Wiggins made 1,019 shots when playing for the Warriors in the 21-22 season, of which 399 were from the three-point line shooting rate of 39.3%, and averaged 2.2 goals per game. It mainly ends with three points, and has both quality and quantity.

Reason 2: Defense. In this season, Wiggins interfered with the opponent's shooting 1,031 times, limiting his opponent's shooting rate from 46.8% to 43.5%, bringing a real plus-minus value of 1.4 in defense, which is worth it. This is the highest since his NBA career. Famous defensive scenes:

1, against Tatum for 51 minutes and 42 seconds, limiting his 21-56 shots and his shooting rate was 37.5%;

2, against Doncic for 46 minutes and 55 seconds, limiting his 23-48 shots and his shooting rate was 47.9%.

It can be said that the Warriors were able to win the championship in the end, and Wiggins was no less than Curry's credit.

Of course, I think it is time to ask whether Wiggins is still top 3D.

is very important. Since joining the Heat, Wiggins has seen a big decline in both offense and defense. Otherwise, Riley would not have been placed on the transaction shelves. But then again, if we change the environment, Wiggins might return to the top 3D level, just like PJ Washington.

in four years with the Hornets, the real plus-minus value of PJ Washington's defense is -0.4. To put it bluntly, the defensive end is completely the existence of the opponent's "ATM". However, in the 86 games that have been with the Mavericks so far, PJ Washington's real plus-minus defense value is 0.5. Although there is still a certain gap between the top level, it has made great progress compared to itself.

Of course, I am more like expressing that the environment has a great impact on a player. If Wiggins strives to return to the top 3D level, the Lakers lineup will really have no shortcomings, and this new season is still worth looking forward to.

Finally, after getting Ayton, Pelinka had no problem with his idea of ​​exchanging Wiggins with Hachimura. After all, the final shortcomings of strengthening the team.
