The functions are very limited! The new Lakers wing players have not shown the level of 3D players at all?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers at home 119-109. After this game, the Warriors faced their old rivals and got a good start to the new regular season, while the Lakers suffered their first loss of the new season, and the team's competitiveness in the game was also very worrying.

In this game, the performance of the Lakers' new substitute wing player Jake LaRavia was still not ideal. Laravia played 15 minutes and 50 seconds, making 2 of 4 shots, 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and 0 of 2 free throws. He scored 5 points and 3 rebounds, and had 1 foul, with a plus-minus of -6. Laravia's presence on the offensive end is still relatively limited, his scoring ability is still not ideal, and he cannot take on more responsibilities on the offensive end. The most critical thing is that Laravia's performance on the defensive end is not ideal, and his personal defensive ability is far less outstanding than everyone imagined. With a lack of presence on the offensive end and limited ability on the defensive end, Laravia obviously did not play the role of a 3D wing player well, and he was unable to play the role he should have on the court.

Laravia played for the Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings last season. In the NBA regular season last season, Laravia played a total of 66 times on behalf of the Grizzlies and Kings, averaging 20.4 minutes per game, 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also had 1.3 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 47.5% from the field, 42.3% from the three-point range, and 67.8% from the free throw line. In the previous NBA preseason, Laravia played a total of 5 times, averaging 24.4 minutes per game. He averaged 7.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 36.8% from the field, 23.1% from the three-point range, and 83.3% from the free throw line.

This summer, the Lakers signed Laravia with a two-year contract worth $12 million. Laravia is also an important signing for the Lakers this summer. He has also been placed high hopes by the team. Everyone hopes that he can replace the role of Dorian Finney-Smith who left the team. As a result, Laravia's performance during the preseason was a mess. It seemed difficult for him to be reused after the start of the regular season, and his ability on the defensive end was indeed far behind everyone's expectations. It seems that this heavyweight signing's role for the team is really unable to meet expectations, which will also cause huge trouble for the Lakers.
