Average of 16.9 points in his career! The Lakers won two All-Stars? In this way, Paul is comparable to the Clippers Clippers

1 year 3.6 million, Paul returned to the Clippers. In addition, it has been reported that season 25-26 will basically be the last dance of CP3. It is unknown whether Paul will retire in the summer of 26, but it is certain that it is a great reinforcement for the Clippers. For this, let’s first look at the comparison of the two sets of data:

attendance rate

24-25 season, Paul played 82 times while playing for the Spurs. It is worth mentioning that this is the second time in his career that the attendance rate has reached 100%. Look at the league:

1, Bridges attendance rate 100%;

2, McDaniels attendance rate 100%;

3, Jaart Allen attendance rate 100%.

In fact, only 11 players, including Paul, had 100% attendance rates this season. To put it more, 562 players have played records.

, that is, combat power

Paul scored a total of 12 double-double points + assists in this season. For comparison, Booker 16 times, Lillard 14 times, and Morant 13 times. Considering that Paul mainly plays as a substitute in the new season, it is obvious that this is the top level among players of the same type.

To sum up two points, as long as there is no major injury (the probability is very small), Paul will basically make the Clippers' substitute reach the top level in the league with immediate combat power and experience. To put it more, the Clippers averaged 81.2 points in the first season in the 24-25 season. For comparison:

1, Thunder value is 85.4 points;

3, Rocket value is 81.6 points;

3, Timberwolves value is 79.3 points.

From this perspective, the Clippers' start and substitute's offensive firepower are at the top level of the league, so it is not difficult to understand that it is regarded as a favorite to win the championship.

Speaking of this, according to the NBA China official website: Because of its excellent training condition, Oladipo is looking for an opportunity to return to the NBA. In 2013, Oladipo entered the league as a second-tier pick and averaged 16.9 points in 504 games so far in his career, of which two All-Stars were selected for the two seasons in 2017-19 thanks to his outstanding performance.

Considering that the Lakers exceed exposure and the single function of substitutes, I think the Lakers are still attractive to Oladipo. To put it bluntly, as long as you perform well, you can prove yourself to the league with the help of super high exposure.

For Oladipo, I think it is comparable to Paul of the Clippers.

First, that is, combat power. In the final 22-23 season of the league, Oladipo averaged 10.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Considering that this was achieved in about 25 minutes, it can be said that the efficiency was still good.

In fact, in the past two seasons, in addition to assisting, Paul has averaged less than 10 points per game. From another perspective, Oladipo, who was injured after a serious injury, is not much different from Paul, who is about to retire.

Second, solve the dilemma. Unlike the starter, the Lakers lack pitchers as a substitute. Taking the 22-23 season as an example, Oladipo's shooting rate per game is 51.6%. Just look at the group comparison based on the shooting rate:

1, Alexander's value is 51.8%;

2, Edwards' value is 52.3%;

3, Booker's value is 54.6%.

From another perspective, even though the impact of the serious injury, Oladipo still has the ability to hold the ball at the same level, which can well solve the Lakers' lack of pitching players on the bench.

In summary, it can be understood that Oladipo's combat power is not inferior to Paul, and he can solve the problems of the Lakers' substitute like the latter.
