His performance far exceeds his worth! Is the Lakers’ new frontline player’s game influence getting higher and higher?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Miami Heat 130-120 at home. After this game, the Lakers, who had won three consecutive victories, improved their record to 5 wins and 2 losses, and their ranking has climbed to No. 3 in the Western Conference; while the Heat, who suffered two consecutive losses, saw their record drop to 3 wins and 3 losses, and their ranking also fell to No. 6 in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, the performance of Lakers forward wing general Jake LaRavia was still very eye-catching. Laravia played 34 minutes and 35 seconds, making 10 of 13 shots, 1 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals with super high efficiency. He also had 1 turnover and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus of +8. Laravia once again showed his comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He can use various methods to score, and he also has very good passing ability and support ability. Laravia has a very high presence on the offensive end. He can fully bring out his characteristics next to the team's two backcourt stars. He can also help the team open up space on the court. Not only that, his performance on the defensive end is also remarkable. He also proved that he has super personal defensive ability. Laravia once again performed both offensively and defensively in this game, which was also an important factor in the team's victory.

Laravia played for the Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings last season. In the NBA regular season last season, Laravia played a total of 66 times on behalf of the Grizzlies and Kings, averaging 20.4 minutes per game, 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also had 1.3 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 47.5% from the field, 42.3% from the three-point range, and 67.8% from the free throw line. In the previous NBA preseason, Laravia played a total of 5 times, averaging 24.4 minutes per game. He averaged 7.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 36.8% from the field, 23.1% from the three-point range, and 83.3% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Laravia has averaged 28.6 minutes per game in the first 7 games, averaging 12.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game. He also has 1.3 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He has shot 60% from the field, 50% from the three-point range, and 57.1% from the free throw line.

Laravia's performance in the first few games of the season was very average. His abilities in all aspects did not seem to be fully utilized, and his effect on the court was also very unsatisfactory. Because of this, everyone has huge doubts about his ability, and they are worried that he will not be able to gain a foothold in the team at all. Unexpectedly, in the past few games, Laravia's performance has undergone radical changes. His offensive efficiency is ridiculously high, and his contribution on the defensive end is getting higher and higher. His performance is far more than just an ordinary 3D player, and his playing time is also increasing. After all, what Laravia got from the Lakers this summer was only a two-year contract with a total amount of 12 million US dollars. If he can maintain this level, this contract is simply too valuable.
