Xia United averaged 12+5 per game! 32% shooting percentage! No. 17 pick but retreated, do the Lakers regret it?

NBA Summer League continues, and many players who were selected in the summer of 25 have performed well, so they will not play in the next game, giving other players or two-way contracts more opportunities to show themselves. Of course, some perform well and some perform poorly. Some players who entered the league last season have not been able to perform well in this summer league. One of them is Knector. The Lakers management now doesn't know if it's already slapped its thighs red. Average of 12+5! Hit rate 32%! Do the Lakers regret the No. 17 pick?

Brownny performed well in the Lakers' match against the Celtics earlier, but the Lakers still lost to the Celtics. In addition, as the most optimistic player in the Lakers' summer league and the player who should stand out the most, Kneckett still had no touch and continued to be sluggish in many consecutive games. Crickett, the Lakers, still performed poorly in this game. He played 3 of 12 shots in 30 minutes, made 1 of 6 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, and had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls. Can you imagine this is a 17-pick selected and played for a regular season for a year and handed over the summer league?

Kenckett has played 6 games so far in the summer league, averaging 11.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game. It is difficult to accept this data alone when looking at this data in 27.6 minutes. After all, as a first round pick, the 17th pick, after a year of training, the second summer league must be at ease, but his shooting percentage is only 32.1%, and his three-point shooting percentage is as low as 23.7%. As a front shot called a shot from outside. He averaged 6.3 three-point shots per game and only made 1.5 shots. This performance was extremely sluggish, and even the free throws were only 64.3%.

Kenckett still had many games in the regular season of last season. For example, the projection of the outside line. He averaged 9.1 points and 2.8 rebounds per game in the regular season, shooting 46.1% from the field and 37.6% from the three-point shooting percentage, and his performance was far better than the performance in the summer league. For Creckett, he seemed to be more like he was trapped in his own heart. Because he was traded by the Lakers before this, when the Lakers and Hornets reached a deal for Mavie and Knecket. The main body of the transaction was Kennecket + Reddish + the 2031 first round unprotected and the 2030 draft pick swap. The Lakers got Mavie, but after that, Mavie failed the physical examination, the Lakers withdrew the transaction.

Since then, Knector's condition has continued to decline. Although he spent a long day training to help himself find the state of the game, the results in the summer league are not ideal. During the offseason, Kneckett was also deeply involved in trading rumors. After Finney Smith left the team, the lack of defense on the Lakers' forward line became a problem that they urgently needed to solve. Wiggins is the Lakers' favorite target. Previously, according to ClutchPoints Lakers reporter Anthony F. Irwin, the Lakers will restart the trading negotiations with the Heat about Andrew Wiggins. The Heat had asked Hachimura Hiroshi, Kneckett, a first-round pick and expiration contract. The Lakers could not match the asking price at all. They hope the Heat can lower the price a little.

With the performance of Knector in the summer league, his value continues to decline. The outside world believes that Knector in this state is only worth one second round. The difficulty of the Lakers' wings is further increased by trading, and Wiggins is rumored to be expected to stay with the Heat in the new season. It is true that the Heat's asking price for Wiggins is too high, but the Lakers still have room for discussion. I wonder if the Lakers will regret not being able to reach a deal with Wiggins as soon as possible. Do you think Kneckett can prove himself in the new season?
