Averaged 12+9 per game! Did the Lakers regret giving up on him in the end?

1. 7 of 10 shots against the Hornets;

2. 5 of 5 shots against the Hawks;

3. 14 of 19 shots against the Trail Blazers;

4. 4 of 6 shots against the Grizzlies;

5. 8 of 11 shots against the Timberwolves.

In fact, since joining the Lakers, Ayton has taken a total of 104 shots, with a true shooting rate of 67.5%. Only in terms of true shooting percentage, he ranks seventh behind Gobert and Jokic at the same position. In terms of personal comparison, it is a new high since his NBA career.

In other words, Ayton is fine on the offensive end. The problem is still more on the defensive end.

First of all, in terms of data, the defensive real plus-minus of -1.6 is a career low, and it is also much higher than the career average of -0.2.

Secondly, from the perspective of the game, on the one hand, the defensive attention is poor, and on the other hand, the old problem of "herbiphobia"-the unwillingness to engage in more physical confrontations.

It still has something to do with center defense.

1. Against Zion for 5 minutes and 03 seconds, he was limited to 3 of 8 shots;

2. Against Zubac for 7 minutes and 13 seconds, limited to 2 of 8 shots;

3. Against Sabonis for 9 minutes and 12 seconds, limited to 3 of 10 shots.

In fact, so far this season, under the defense of Mark Williams, the opponent's shooting rate of less than 6 feet has dropped from 59.8% to 53.4%. Thanks to his relatively excellent rim protection ability, the Suns can drop 5.6 points per 100 possessions when he is on the court.

As for Mawei, the Lakers successfully traded Knecht and the first round last season, but later "returned" him because he failed the physical examination. So do the Lakers regret giving up Mark Williams in the end?

Injuries

The Suns have played 11 games so far this season, and Ma Wei has only missed one game. This is one of them. Secondly, the 25.1 minutes per game averaged is also higher than the career average of 23.8 minutes per game. In other words, at least so far, Ma Wei has not shown any injuries.

Instant combat power

So far this season, he has averaged 25.1 minutes per game and can get 12+9 quasi-double-double data. If converted into every 36 minutes, it would be 17+13, which can be said to be very efficient.

Kneckert

So far this season, Kneckert has averaged 6.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. It is worth mentioning that all three statistics are career lows. In addition, as a shooter, the three-point rate is only 26.5%, which is unjustifiable.

More importantly, as a fixed-point shooter, if his shooting is not effective, his presence will be a side effect-when he is on the court, the Lakers have a net loss of 7.9 points per 100 rounds.

To sum up, in my opinion, the Lakers regretted giving up on Ma Wei, mainly because of three points:

1. Ma Wei has overcome injuries very well so far this season;

2. So far this season, Ma Wei has shown good fighting ability;

3. Knecht has shown a clear trend of regression.

Relatively speaking, I think the third point is the main reason.

First of all, Knecht is not even worthless to the Lakers at this stage. To be precise, it would not be a pity to exchange for "air", but the problem is that it is almost impossible to do this with nearly three years of contract.

Secondly, both Doncic and Reaves are in hot form so far this season. In other words, if Ayton and Mawei are sitting inside, the Lakers' probability of winning the championship will be greatly improved.

To sum up, "regret" reflects that Knecht has almost no trading value. On the other hand, Marvel has substantial help to the Lakers, and can even be said to increase the probability of winning the championship.
