The Lakers made 3 of 15 shots in the 17th pick last year! Brownie hit a new record of 17+5+5, and the Warriors old player made 4 of 17 shots in the 17th

On July 15, the Lakers and Clippers' summer league was highly concerned because Brownie participated. In this game, Brownie played the best game of his summer league career. He made 6 of 10 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 17 points, plus 5 rebounds and 5 assists, plus or minus value +5, which was very outstanding. The only regret is that at the critical moment of the game, Brownie made a mistake when serving a sideline ball, and was intercepted by the Clippers and completed a counterattack and the Lakers lost the game.

Although the last-minute mistakes ruined the good game, Brownie has played really well recently, and the flaws are not concealed. In the last game, Brownie scored 14 points and refreshed the score again today, scoring 17 points. With 17 points, the Lakers scored the highest in this game, and the team's scoring leader was the top scorer. In addition, Brownie's efficiency is also worthy of praise. He has all three-pointers, breakthroughs, free throws, and has a good vision and his organizational ability has been demonstrated. Many people believe that he really has the hope of entering the regular rotation lineup in the new season. From this point of view, the Lakers chose him with the No. 55 draw last year, which was really not a loss.

The Lakers played 55th pick in the second round, but instead played a terrible 17th pick in the first round. He was Kneckett, who was selected by the Lakers at the 17th pick last year. Kneckett's performance in this game was a complete disaster. He made 3 of 15 shots, 1 of 8 three-pointers, 1 of 4 free throws, and only scored 8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus value of -13 at the bottom of the game. It can be said that Knector was a complete undercover agent in this game. Without him, the Lakers should have won long ago.

Kneckett scored a good goal at the beginning of last season, and even scored 9 three-pointers in a single game, scoring 33 points. However, as the season deepened, Redick's use of him began to decrease. Later, Knector was sent to the Hornets in the transaction about Mawei. Everyone left, but Mawei failed the physical examination and was returned. Correspondingly, Knector was also returned. This made the child's mentality collapse and he failed. After returning, his condition plummeted and he basically didn't play in the playoffs.

Lakers made 3 of 15 shots from 17th last year! Brownie hit a new high of 17+5+5, and the Warriors' old player made 4 of 17 shots too hard! Therefore, the Lakers continue to keep Kneckett, which is actually useless. It is really embarrassing to play like this in the summer league. The key is that he is not saying that he performed abnormally in one game. He has performed this year in several games, one by one, and made 5 of 20 shots in the first two games. The most ironic thing is that he said in an interview that he practiced three times a day and spent in the training hall every day. He didn’t know what he was practicing. Has he practiced too much and his feel was gone?

In this game, in addition to Kneckett, there is also a first-round pick who is sprinting wildly. He is the forward Patrick Baldwin Jr., the 28th pick in the first round in 2022. He was selected by the Warriors and has been playing in the league for three years. As a result, in today's game, he made 4 of 17 shots, 2 of 11 three-pointers, and 0 of 2 free throws! He and Kneckett are simply lying on the verge of dragons and phoenixes, one of which is more outrageous than the other. On the contrary, Jordan Maitreya, the second round No. 48 pick in the Clippers camp, played very well today, making 7 of 11 shots, scoring the game-high 19 points, plus a winning layup at the last moment, which was very reliable. Therefore, NBA teams sometimes need to understand that there is no need to be superstitious about first-round picks in cultivating young people. In recent years, there are many people who are not as good as second-round picks or even out of the draft.
