Average 19+10! He is the same agent with Doncic. Congratulations to the Lakers, is another Ayton coming?

We all know that after reaching a buyout with the Trail Blazers, Ayton chose to join the Lakers.

Ayton, whose annual salary is 35 million, is not cost-effective, but its annual salary of 8 million is too good. For this, look at the group data.

Final Efficiency

24-25 seasons Ayton shot a total of 468 shots, with a shooting percentage of 56.6% and a true shooting rate of 58.3%. Just looking at the real shooting rate, look at the group data comparison:

1, Valanciunas' value is 60.2%;

2, Vucevic's value is 59.1%;

3, Markanin's value is 57.1%.

It can be seen that Ayton's finishing efficiency is at the elite level in the same type, the starting lineup of the weak team. In the new season, considering the bonuses from Doncic and others, Ayton's finishing efficiency only increased but not decreased. To put it more, the annual salary of the three people in comparison is at least tens of millions.

In fact, Ayton's offense is not worrying. After all, he has averaged 16.4 points per game in his 398 games so far in his NBA career - it is not the top of Jokic and Antetokounmpo, but it is relatively the All-Star level.

In fact, what Ayton is worried about is the defensive end. Except for the unwillingness to be more physically versed, the enthusiasm for defense against the outside world is not high.

is still in the 24-25 season, and it only interferes with 7.8 shots per game in 40 games. Just look at the interference values, look at the group comparison:

1, Anunobi's value 7.7 times;

2, Derek White's value 7.3 times;

3, Scott Barnes' value 7.1 times.

In other words, not to mention the same position, it has no advantage in comparison with some outside lines. The defensive enthusiasm is not high, and the unwillingness to have too much physical contact, it is not surprising that Ayton has a side effect on the defensive end in most games.

At the same time, according to Yahoo Sports, the Bulls would choose to buy out if they could not trade Vucevic. In the 24-25 season, Vucevic averaged 18.5 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. It sounds strange, and the average average of 19+10 is likely to not trade out - if the Bulls can trade out or if they are interested in the team, they won't want to buy out.

Considering that the Lakers are still missing a reliable second center, Vucevic and Doncic are the same agents. Once you buy it out, I think the Lakers are very likely to get Vucevic. That's it, it's like the Lakers get Ayton again.

First, offensive. In the 24-25 season, Vucevic made 1,038 shots, of which 321 came from outside the three-point line, with a shooting rate of 40.2%. For the three-point rate, look at the group data comparison:

1, Porzingis value is 41.2%;

2, Jokichi value is 41.7%;

3, Downs value is 42.0%.

In other words, Vucevic has the same position as the top three-point level, and three-pointers are his main way of finishing.

Second, defense. With 1306 shots interfering with the shooting, the opponent's shooting rate dropped from 53.4% to 53.1% - basically no defensive deterrence. In fact, when Vucevic was on the court, the Bulls lost 2.6 more points in 100 rounds compared to the 114.8 points per game in the season.

To sum up the above two points, the next Ayton is more reflected in the fact that Vucevic and Ayton are both strong in offense and weak in defense, which is one of them. Second, both of them joined after buying out.

Finally, it's the same sentence. Vucevic, who earns an annual salary of 20 million, is not cost-effective. What if it is a basic salary? That would be too fragrant.
