According to the news from the American media The Fieldof68 reporter Vince Wolfram, agency EZ Sports Group revealed to him that Dylan Cardwell, a big five inside player from Auburn University, will try out for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Cardville was born in December 2001 and is 23 years old. He is a strong inside player. According to data from the previous NBA G League Elite Training Camp, Cardville's bare foot height is 207.6cm, his wingspan is 215.3cm, his standing height is 276.9cm, and his weight is 118.4kg. In the NCAA field this season, Cardville played 38 times for Auburn University, averaging 20.3 minutes per game, with averaging 5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 70%, his three-point shooting percentage was 50%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 32.4%. Cardville's performance was still fully recognized, and he was also invited to participate in the G League Elite Training Camp.

From the perspective of characteristics, Cardwell is a strong inside player. He has good offensive efficiency at the basket and his performance in eating cakes is still good. Cardville can also use his body and confrontational ability to complete the basket protection and inside defense on the defensive end. However, Cardville lacks basic independent scoring and shooting ability on the offensive end, and his free throwing ability is also a mess. On the other hand, Cardville is also obviously older in terms of age. As a big five player, his data on the court is also very mediocre, and he has no way to perform at the dominant level. His potential and future development space are relatively limited. He is not a player with a high ceiling, and his functions on the court also seem to be relatively limited.

Judging from the current situation, Cardville should be a high probability of becoming a undraft, and it should be difficult for him to successfully enter the NBA draft this year. But on the other hand, Cardwell can still play his role in some aspects on the court. Such a black and hard player with good inside defense may also play a certain role in the Lakers who lack inside. Maybe Cardville won't be shortlisted in the draft, but he is also the starting center of Auburn University, a strong NCAA team. He has certain personal abilities. His data limitations are also closely related to the team's tactical arrangements and his playing time to a certain extent. If Cardville can show enough competitiveness in the Lakers' trial, maybe he may also become a potential contender for the Lakers' two-way contract?
