The Lakers will sign the son of the former legend. He is a player with distinct advantages and disadvantages?

According to the report of OOSSports reporter Rob Murrows, former NBA star Jamal Mashburn Jr., the son of former NBA star Jamal Mashburn, has reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers that he will receive a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 clauses from the Lakers.

Mashben was born in September 2001 and is about to turn 24 years old. He is 188cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. Last season, Mashburn Jr. transferred from the University of New Mexico to Temple University. The big five backcourt player made a total of 23 appearances in the NCAA last season, averaging 35.9 minutes per game, averaging 22 points, 3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.7 steals, 1.8 turnovers and 1.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 42.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 43.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 79%. With his outstanding performance, Malshburn was also shortlisted for the second team of the AAC League All-Newcomer Team last season. It is undeniable that Malshburn's scoring ability is indeed quite good, and he also has super shooting ability, but on the other hand, his role on the defensive end is very limited. As a short backcourt player, his ability in organization and tandem offense is not ideal. He is a player with very distinct advantages and disadvantages, and his advantages may be limited in high-level games, while his disadvantages are infinitely amplified.

In fact, the Lakers' previous lineup already included 21 players, including 14 players holding standard contracts, 2 players holding two-way contracts and 5 players holding training camp contracts. The team's roster is already full. In other words, if the Lakers want to officially sign Mashburn, they will first cut one of the players in the current lineup. Among the several players in the Lakers' current lineup with training camp contracts, four of them were undrafted in this year's NBA Draft. They performed much more comprehensively in the NCAA field last season than Mashbourne Jr., while another player with training camp contracts, Kylor Kelley, played for the Lakers' NBA Development League team, last season, and is also an old acquaintance. It seems like cutting off anybody before the start of the camp is not ideal.

We can basically be sure that Malshburn will appear in the lineup of the Lakers' subordinate team Nanwan Lakers after the start of the new season. However, when will the Lakers complete the signing of Malshburn with Malshburn, it is also something worth paying attention to. On the other hand, as the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son. In the past few seasons, everyone was full of expectations for Mashben and felt that he had the opportunity to launch an attack on the NBA, but he has never shown all-round improvements in his NCAA field and is still a player with very obvious shortcomings. In the new season, can he perform better in the NBA Development League?
