Invisible in the first show! 0+0+1+0+0! The Lakers’ second major signing this summer

In this campaign, Doncic made his preseason debut this year, contributing 25 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in about 22 minutes.

The Lakers team data are as follows:

The Suns team data are as follows:

The Lakers starting lineup for this game is Doncic + Reeves + Smart + Laravia + Ayton.

Oh, Smart is playing, and he has been a starter since he came up. He made 0 shots, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 steals, 0 blocks, and 0 turnovers in about 20 minutes. He only had 1 assist and 2 fouls in his personal data column. He is the second major signing made by the Lakers management this summer after Ayton.

Looking at the data, it seems that Smart didn't play. Lakers coach Redick was also quite dissatisfied with this, saying that the former should have at least one shot opportunity in 20 minutes. The conversation changed and he praised him for being full of physical confrontation on the court. Lakers blogger LakeShow Highlights praised Smart's defense as being really good, even when facing opponents taller than himself.

Smart was born on March 6, 1994. He is the No. 6 pick in the first round of the 14th session. He is 1.93% tall and has a wingspan of 2.06 meters. He was elected DPOY in the 21-22 season, and was selected to the All-Defensive Team three times and won the Best Fighting Award three times. After reaching a buyout agreement with the Wizards this summer, he signed a two-year contract with the Lakers for $11 million. He has a player option next summer.

Defense has always been Smart's specialty. Even if he is no longer as brave as he used to be, he is still the best defensive leader in the Lakers as long as he stays healthy. Therefore, it is believed that he will start the new season at the same time as Doncic + Reeves + James + Ayton.

In fact, Smart still has a certain scoring ability. In the regular season so far in his NBA career, he has averaged 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game, and averaged 1.6 three-pointers with a 32.4% field goal percentage. In the playoffs, he averaged 12.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and averaged 1.9 three-pointers with a 33.4% field goal percentage.

As for why this guy was invisible on the offensive end in his first game with the Lakers, maybe it was because he had just returned from injury. He planned to regain his game status by concentrating on defense first, and then fully demonstrate himself later.

I have always felt that the Lakers have a very deep lineup in the new season. Unfortunately, they are in the Wild West and the competition is unimaginably fierce.
