First of all, Booker of the Suns:
He was born in 1996 and his father is an NBA player. He entered the league before he was 20 years old and was selected in the first round 13. Height1.98m, serving as shooting guard. At the beginning of playing for this team in the Pacific Division, he was unpopular and sat on the bench. But gold always shines, and his talent is gradually understood by the world. He shoots well, defends well and has first-class physical fitness.
From the sixth man in the University of Kentucky to the 13 draft pick in the NBA, it is generally believed that Devon Booker does not have the potential of a superstar. Jeff Hornacek said: "We just think he is the best shooter among the rookie." The Sun had eric bledsoe and brandon knight in its heyday, but today, I'm afraid most people have lost their sight.
After the away game against the Suns, Kobe gave his sneakers to a rookie, Devon Booker. In addition to signing his name, he wrote a simple sentence on his shoes that Booker may never forget: "Become a legend."
Obviously, Kobe attaches great importance to the 13 draft pick, and James also said in an interview during the offseason: "He is the most admired Booker among the new generation players." Judging from the performance of the preseason, Booker, who replaced the original team's starting position, perfectly released his scoring ability. Some people even say that Booker is like Thompson of the Warriors.
Second, two-time slam dunk king Zach Lavin:
He played as a substitute in the first two seasons of his career and won the dunk contest in the rookie season. Choosing Kobe's No.8 early in his career has amazing jumping ability. Lavin said in an interview: I have been a loyal fan of Kobe since I was a child. I watched Kobe play and grew up, and I also imitated Kobe's skills.
He witnessed Kobe's career total score surpassing Jordan, and he failed after Kobe's lore failure, which was simply the number one "Komi". Zach Lavin, who was only 19 years old in the rookie season, became famous in World War I, and scored 28 points and 5 assists to help the team beat the opponent. Lavin also became the second bench player in history to get 25+5 before the age of 20, and the last one to do this was Kobe Bryant of 1997.
Third, the new leader of the Lakers Russell:
In the choice of Kobe's successor, you can't ignore Russell, the son of the Lakers. Last season, he was selected by the second overall pick and spent the last season with Kobe Bryant. Russell must have learned a lot of Kobe's skills and can play with someone who has achieved a lot like Kobe. Last season, he showed Kobe's appearance with a back jumper.
With the natural advantages of the Lakers, Russell was appointed as the new leader of the Lakers At present, it is urgent to prove that he has the ability to lead the Lakers, so that he can hope to succeed Kobe Bryant, the next target.
Judging from the performance of the preseason, Booker scored 34 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists against the Blazers, Lavin scored 30 points and 4 rebounds against the Hornets, and Russell scored 33 points against the Nuggets. All three young people performed well, and it's hard to say who can take over Kobe's scepter now.
