After signing Howard this season, many netizens expect the Lakers to re-sign Javier McKee. However, unexpectedly, the Lakers did not choose Javier. Instead, McKee turned his attention to the No.5 position with the strength of another championship team. He is the little Jordan who used to play for the Brooklyn Nets. Jordan Jr. got a good playing time in the Nets last season and made a good supplement for the team. However, after trading Griffin, it seems that he was completely abandoned by head coach Steve Nash.
After coming to the Los Angeles Lakers, I believe he is also full of hope of winning the championship. He hopes to come to this team and prove his strength to his former teammates and coaches. Jordan's main position in the Los Angeles Lakers is to play Howard's substitute. At the press conference, Jordan Jr. also said that he can do many things in the Lakers, including rebounding and protecting the frame, including picking and rolling teammates. These can really help the Los Angeles Lakers make up for a large part of the lack of defense and offense.
Pick-and-roll at position 5 is a very practical and important part for the Lakers. Last season, Pau Gasol's high pick and roll helped the Lakers a lot. Gasol Jr. has planned to return to Spain to play this season, so they need Jordan Jr. to make up for Gasol Jr. Coping ability is a very important indicator for the Lakers. Now the Los Angeles Lakers have LeBron James, anthony davis Westbrook, Cameron Anthony and Dwight Howard. This lineup is very luxurious.
However, many netizens ridiculed that the average age of sunset red in the Los Angeles Lakers lineup has exceeded 30 years old. However, I believe that these old guys of the Lakers must want to prove that they are not old next season and want everyone to see that they still have the strength to compete for the championship. I believe that the performance of the Los Angeles Lakers will be very good next season, and the joining of Jordan Jr. will also bring great improvement to the Lakers. Let's look forward to the performance of the Lakers.
