It was wise for the Lakers to give up him, but the Bucks actually gave him a stable starter?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks who played at home 129-103. After this game, the Pacers have widened the total score of the series to 3-1, and they have also successfully won the match point; while the Bucks are in great trouble, and they are on the verge of elimination.

In this game, the performance of the Bucks' substitute wing player Taurean Prince is still unsatisfactory. Prince played 14 minutes and 47 seconds in the game, made 0 of 3 shots and 0 of 3 three-pointers from outside the three-point line. He did not score 1 point in the game, and only contributed 1 rebound and 1 assist. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-minus value of -3. Prince had no touch on the offensive end and did not show his due projection ability at all. Not only that, Prince's contribution to the team in other aspects is also very limited. He doesn't seem to have any scoring ability, and his influence on the game on the defensive end is also very limited. Prince's performance can be described as being neither attacking nor defending. His effect on the court is indeed not ideal, and his presence on both ends of the offense and defense is also a bit too low.

In the NBA regular season this season, Prince played a total of 80 games in 82 games, averaging 27.1 minutes per game, averaging 8.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.2 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2.1 fouls. He shot 45.7%, three-point shooting percentage 43.9%, and 81.3% free throw shooting percentage. In the playoffs, Prince averaged 14.3 minutes in the first four games, with averaging 1.5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 0.5 steals, 1 turnover and 0.8 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 22.2% and a three-point shooting percentage of 25%.

Prince looks pretty good in the regular season, and his three-point shooting percentage is ranked third in the league, and he can be regarded as a top pitcher. However, Prince's performance on the defensive end was a mess. His average plus-minus value was -0.3 and his net efficiency value was -0.4. He seemed to feel good on the offensive end, but his negative impact on the team was actually visible to the naked eye. He could not actually have a greater influence on the game, and it could even be said to have a great drag on the team. In the playoffs, Prince's effect on the court further declined. Not only did he find it difficult to make a breakthrough on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, his performance also showed a huge decline. His scoring ability was unable to be played out, and his contribution on the offensive end was not as good as before.

It seems that Prince is really not a player who can play tough battles, and he is undoubtedly a player whose abilities are seriously overestimated in all aspects. It is reasonable for the Los Angeles Lakers to give him up last summer and they are not willing to leave him a basic salary contract. The Bucks are quite funny. After signing Darvin Ham as an assistant coach, they not only signed his favorite Prince, but also gave Prince a lot of playing time and starting position in the regular season. It is simply incredible.
