On July 18, the NBA Summer League continued to start, and the Lakers played against the Celtics at home, which was another yellow-green battle. Yes, this game still depends on Brownie and Kneckett. To be honest, who can watch it without Brownie and Kneckett’s summer league? As the number of games increases, Brownie's performance is getting better and better. He has never seen such a hard-working rich second generation, it depends on whether he can explode today.

As of now, Brownie has played 5 summer league games, averaging 10.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.2 turnovers. I really have to sigh when I see this, no, you are so amazing, his data is 2.

Compared to last year, Brownie has made great progress this year, especially in 3-pointers, who can average 1.4 shots per game. Although not many, he has only been able to make 1 in several games last season. This can be said to be a visible improvement, but he has not really exploded yet, so it depends on this game.

However, what I never expected was that Brownie's performance was shocking. In the first half, I didn't know what he wanted to do, but he simply didn't attack. He only made one shot and didn't make a shot. Maybe just as the famous James skip said. For Brownie, his biggest shortcoming is that he doesn't care about any data at all, because he has no pressure on life, so he scored 2 points per game, which is not much different from 20 points per game. This is also the key reason that restricts Brownie's further development. Who made his father James?

Browne began to play in the second half. After three quarters, he scored 10 points, 2 rebounds, and 4 assists, but at a glance, there were 8 mistakes. I have watched the NBA Summer League for so long and haven't seen any mistakes, and there are so many players. During the whole game, he was either stolen or on the way to steal.

In the third quarter, Brownie started to play as if she had woken up, especially in a duel with Lofton. She performed very amazingly, with a straight dribbling single-game fight and a layup of 2+1.

Then another breakthrough layup, one was a sudden stop and the other was disguised, and directly shook the defender away and flew on the layup. This ball was also very good.

It seems that Brownie is the Brownie in normal state at this time, but overall, there are too many mistakes. When a player has 8 mistakes, it is difficult for the team to win, and the Lakers are also lagging behind by more than 10 points.

After watching Brownie's performance, let's take a look at Kneckett's performance. I can't bear to look at it! It is understandable that Brownie played badly, after all, he was 55th overall. In the history of the NBA, there are not many people who can really play in the 55th minute marks, but Knector has a 16th overall pick and averaged 9 points per game last season. After playing in the first three quarters today, he made 3 of 11 shots and 1 of 5 shots. This performance is really hard to say.

Look at what he was doing in the game. Even though he was not good at dribbling, he insisted on a dribble that spanned the entire game, but the opponent directly knocked it off. Last season, because he often played randomly, he couldn't figure out his role and was abandoned by Redick. This season, it's still the same.

I don't know how the Lakers management will feel when they see the performance of Brownie and Kneckett. Brownie is fine. After all, he can sell tickets. I believe that the Lakers management does not have much expectations for him and hopes that he can play well.

But Kneckett is a first-round pick. You have to know what a first-round pick means to the Lakers' management? That is definitely a heart-to-heart meat, baby bump! But judging from Kneckett's current performance, it would be good to be worth a second round pick.

From this perspective, the Lakers' management is really not good. To put it bluntly, he has a poor vision and does not trade while he plays well. As a result, he has been left until now. His value is gone and he can't trade it even if he wants to trade. He can only be bad enough. Such a management team is really convinced. Good players look down on them. A poor player is a treasure. With this performance, you have to count on Doncic to renew his contract, which is lingering!

The Lakers are almost crying! Kneckett scored 8 points, Brownie made 8 mistakes, wasted 1 first-round pick
