Chase the best sixth man! The Lakers are strengthening, which can put pressure on Reeves + lead the second team

Season 24-25, Reeves made a total of 4215 passes and converted 421 assists. Regarding the passing conversion assists, it should be noted that:

assists versus

1, Curry 421 times;

2, Tatum 431 times;

3, Murray 403 times. According to the comparison data, Reeves' assist data has reached the star level. But if you split it carefully, there is still a gap in assist efficiency as high as the top level. In terms of data, Reeves' assists and turnovers are 2.38. For comparison:

1, the top Paul value is 4.69;

2, the All-Star Holiday value is 3.10;

3, the regular level Lillard value is 2.53.

Obviously, Reeves still has a long way to go on the pass. To put it bluntly, you cannot pass the ball for the sake of passing the ball, and you need to effectively reduce mistakes. Otherwise, it is easy to give the opponent a chance to fight back.

In fact, from this perspective, I think Reeves is no longer suitable to be on the bench to lead the second team. Let’s take a look at a set of data comparisons:

1, Reeves’ real shooting rate is 61.6%;

2, Antetokounmpo’s value is 62.5%;

3, Alexander’s value is 63.7%. According to the data, Reeves does have efficient ending efficiency. Potentially, it can carry the team, especially the connection period where the defense is weak.

But the problem is that Reeves still lacks the moment in passing control. More importantly, unlike the Thunder, Nuggets and other teams, Lakers substitute players are not less than 60%. Potentially, Lakers substitutes, including Vanderbilt, like or can only end up "eat cake".

At the same time, according to the NBA China official website, many teams including the Lakers and the Warriors are interested in Brogdon.

Regarding Brogdon, it should be noted that:

first, assist data comparison

1, Brogdon sent 4.1 assists and assist error ratio 2.83 in 23.5 minutes per game;

2, Conley's three events were 24.7 minutes, 4.5 assists and assist error ratio 2.76;

3, Alawaldo's three events were 24.4 minutes, 4.6 assists and assist error ratio 2.67 respectively.

Comparative data, Brogdon averaged about 25 minutes per game and had the top assist efficiency in the league.

Second, honored

22-23 season, Brogden, who is still playing for the Celtics, finally won the sixth man of the year with his outstanding performance. To put it more, unlike the sixth man such as Naz Reed, Clarkson, Louis Williams, etc., Brogdon is a double-energy guard.

The Lakers' Chase of Brogdon in the Super Six, in my opinion, can play two roles.

First, put pressure on Reeves. As I said just now, Brogdon is more secure than Reeves in the series. The latter is very stressful. I mean, promote Reeves to continue his efforts. Otherwise, the importance of this team will be constantly eroded.

Second, with the second array. Like Paul returning to the Clippers, Brogdon can lead the second team with both ability and experience.

Relatively speaking, I think the second point is the main reason.

First of all, the Lakers do not lack starting offenses while holding Doncic, but lack substitute firepower, especially under the premise that Vanderbilt and others lack independent attacks.

Based on this, Brogdon can make the Lakers start and substitute firepower more balanced. As soon as Ruyi comes, the Lakers' combat power will be greatly improved.

Finally, considering that the Lakers are still missing a "sixth man", I think there is still a high probability of getting Brogdon.
