Figured out the situation! The new Lakers backcourt players finally performed quite well on the defensive end?
8:10am, 15 October 2025【Basketball】
In a previous NBA preseason game, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 126-116 at home. After this game, the Lakers achieved their first victory in the preseason and currently have a record of 1 win and 2 losses; while the Warriors suffered their first defeat in the preseason and currently have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.
In this game, the performance of the Lakers' new backup backcourt player Nate Williams Jr. is worthy of recognition. Williams played for 6 minutes and 10 seconds, shooting 2 of 2 from the field, 1 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 5 points. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of 0. Williams still showed a relatively comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He also showed his scoring ability and scored some points despite limited playing time. Williams' attitude on the defensive end is relatively positive. His physical talent and athletic ability are also good. He can be considered to have shown some value on the defensive end, and his defensive effect is much better than in the previous two games. Williams was able to exert his value on both offense and defense in this game. His series of outstanding performances also helped the team stabilize the situation at the last moment of the game, which also made a big contribution to the team's victory.
In the NBA regular season last season, Williams played a total of 20 times on behalf of the Houston Rockets in 82 games, averaging 7.3 minutes per game and averaging 7.3 minutes per game. 3.2 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.2 blocks, 0.7 turnovers and 0.8 fouls. The shooting percentage was 43.5%, the three-point shooting percentage was 23.1%, and the free throw percentage was 62.5%. In the playoffs, Williams only played 3 times in total and had no outstanding performance. In the NBA Development League last season, Williams played a total of 21 times on behalf of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, a subsidiary of the Rockets, averaging 31 minutes per game. He averaged 19.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game. He also had 2.4 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. He shot 50.5% from the field, 34.9% from the three-point range, and 83.3% from the free throw line. Since the preseason, Williams has averaged 14.3 minutes per game in the first three games, averaging 3.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.3 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also has 1.3 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He shoots 36.4% from the field and 40% from the three-point range.
Williams' performance in the previous two preseason games was not ideal. There were obvious problems with his offensive choices, and his commitment on the defensive end was also somewhat worrying. However, in this game, Williams finally showed his characteristics, and he finally proved that he has the ability to affect the situation of the game. Williams finally seems to have figured out his role on the team. It is unrealistic for him to gain a foothold in the team through his scoring and offense. He must seize the offensive opportunities that he should seize and play a greater role on the defensive end. Only in this way can he win the opportunity to stay on the team.
