43 million in 4 years! The Lakers got a top scorer? This three-pointer efficiency is not inferior to Irving

8:56pm, 11 August 2025【Basketball】

24-25 regular season, Edwards made a total of 320 three-pointers to lead the league, followed by Beasley's 319 and Curry's 311. In the three-point ranking, Curry Jr. led the lead with 45.6%, followed by LaVine's 44.6% and Prince's 43.9%.

Here comes something interesting.

Basley and Prince, the two former Lakers players, have largely described the efficiency of these three-pointers when playing for the Lakers. Prince's efficiency is a significant improvement in both the 43.9% three-point rate and the average 1.8 goals per game when the Bucks are significantly higher than the 39.6% and 1.5 goals during the Lakers period; Beasley's three-point rate when playing for the Lakers is only 35.3%.

is still related to three points. In the 24-25 season, whether it is 40.1% three-pointers or 2.9 goals per game, Irving is higher than his career average - 39.4% three-pointers and 2.4 goals per game.

Of course, when it comes to Irving's three-pointer, what is impressive is his strong shooting ability.

In terms of data, 79 of the total 359 shots came from the defender within 2-4 feet, with a three-pointer rate of 36.7%. Just look at the three-point rate, let’s look at the comparison of the data in the group:

1, Curry’s value is 35.5%;

2, Doncic’s value is 37.9%;

3, Towns’ value is 34.9%.

Obviously, Irving is comparable to any superstar in the league with just three-pointers. With projection, it can extend your life from another perspective. Just like Durant - in the 24-25 season, the Suns scored 116.5 points in 100 rounds when they were on the court, and the team scored 110.6 points in 100 rounds when they were not on the court.

Although he has experienced a serious injury and is already 36 years old, Durant is still of great importance to the team's offensive end. Of course, this importance comes more from projection.

is still related to three points.

According to the NBA China official website: If the Celtics trade Hauser, the Lakers will be a potential suitor.

For Hauser, I think it is not inferior to Irving's existence just by three points.

First, single-quarter efficiency. In the 24-25 season, Irving had a three-pointer rate of 40.1%, and averaged 2.9 goals per game. Haoser's two numbers were 41.6% and 2.3 goals respectively.

Second, career efficiency. So far, Irving has a three-pointer rate of 39.4%, and has averaged 2.4 goals per game. The two numbers of Hauser are 42% and 2.0 goals respectively. According to the comparison data of

, Hauser's three-point efficiency is not inferior to Irving. However, if the two are split in detail, there is still a difference.

1 and 24-25 three-point shooting 394 times, of which 356 were from the opponent's quasi-vacancies and vacancy positions above 4 feet;

2 and 23-24 biennials were 461 and 408 respectively;

3 and 22-23 biennials were 335 and 284 respectively.

In other words, compared to Irving's role player, Hauser faces a little bit of defense, which is one of them. Secondly, Hauser does not have the ability to make a strong three-point shot like Irving. For example, in the 24-25th season, when the defender was within 4 feet, Hauser's three-point percentage was only 27.9%.

Of course, this does not matter. After all, Hauser is a role player, and his responsibilities are more about seizing opportunities. Now, you can effectively grasp the opportunity when it appears.

For Hauser, I think the Celtics will end up trading, and the Lakers will have a great chance of getting it.

Reason: Contract. Even this summer, Haoser still has four years and a 43 million contract. For the Green Shirts who want to avoid taxes, this is obviously a deal. In contrast, the Lakers can provide expiration contracts from Vincent or Kleber to help the former "unlock".

Finally, after Ayton and Smart, the Lakers are likely to usher in another major strengthening.
