In the 20 19 draft, the three most popular players were Zion, Morant and Barrett, who were selected by Pelican, Grizzly Bear and Knicks respectively. When it was the Lakers' turn, they chose a player whose talent was not lost to Leonard-Andre Hunt.
Hunter and Leonard have many similarities. Leonard is 2m tall, with a wingspan of 2m 2 1 and a weight of 102kg, while Hunter is 2m 03 and a wingspan of 2m 18. His height is higher than Leonard's, but his arm span is a little worse than Leonard's, but his physical talent is still outstanding.
It is reported that in the deal between the Lakers and the Pelican, the Pelican appointed Hunter as the rookie. If Hunter hadn't been released, the Lakers might not have got Brother Thick Eyebrows. The Lakers hesitated, thought about giving up the deal, but couldn't bear to let the children get rid of the wolf, and finally won Brother Thick Eyebrows. After all, with James around, they will win, and Hunter may win.
Finally, Hunter followed Ingram, Bauer and Hart. And then sent to the Pelican team as a bargaining chip. Later, the Pelican team and the Hawks completed the transaction, and the Hawks also named Hunter as a player. It can be seen that many teams coveted Hunter's talent, and eventually he became a player of the Hawks. Hunter has been chosen for two years. How's he doing?
In the first dozen games of the rookie season, Hunter was not used to the intensity of the NBA and didn't play well. However, after that, he studied backwards and gradually became familiar with the rhythm and intensity of the NBA, and his performance became better and better. After the end of the season, his personal data is: he played 63 games, including 62 starts, playing 32 minutes per game, averaging 12.3 points, 4.5 rebounds 1.8 assists, shooting 4 1%, and shooting 35.5% from three-pointers. This performance is average, not good, but not bad.
In the second season, that is, this season, Hunter's progress was particularly obvious. So far, he has played 32.2 minutes per game, and his average score has risen to 17.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 5 1.4%, and his shooting percentage is 36.6%. Comparing the performance of rookie season, we can find that he has made progress in all aspects this season and has gradually become a reliable single defense player on the defensive end.
Hunter is tall and powerful, and moves quickly. He can defend 1 to 4/,score more than 10 points in a game, and defend the opponent's arrow characters, much like Leonard who played around GDP at the beginning. What's more, Hunter also has several 30+ performances this season, which is faster than Leonard's at the beginning and can be expected in the future.
Hunter is a swingman. He can be a shooting guard or a small forward. When the team plays small teams, he can also play power forward. No matter where he is, he can contribute to both ends of the offense and defense. Now he has become an indispensable part of the hawks. In February this year, he missed many games because of injury. After his injury, the Hawks lost seven of the eight games. His importance goes without saying. I hope Hunter can come back as soon as possible, get close to his template Leonard and grow into a star player as soon as possible.
Before the 20 19 draft, the pelican made a deal with the eagle. The pelican traded the No.4, No.57 and the second round in the future to the eagle, and got the No.8, 1 7,35 and the No.0/kloc-0 in 2020. The Pelican's No.4 sign is one of the important chips for the Lakers to send Davis.
In the draft of 20 19, the eagle selected Andrew Hunter, Dean of the University of Virginia, in the fourth place. Because he and Leonard are very similar in size and technical characteristics, the draft media also set his template as Leonard. Hunter, as an experienced rookie, has excellent instant combat power and has a good influence on both ends of attack and defense. This is also an important reason why the Hawks chose him in the fourth overall pick.
In the rookie season, Hunter sat firmly in the position of the Eagle's starting forward, averaging 32 minutes per game, which is enough to prove the team's training for him. Although he is a rookie player who entered the league for the first time, Hunter also showed good adaptability. He can average 12.3 points and 4.5 rebounds. The eagle's role positioning is a 3D sharp knife, which has a certain ability to hold the ball and attack. Hunter can hit 1.7 3-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage is 35.5%, reaching the qualified level.
After the second season of his career, the 23-year-old hunter further evolved. The most surprising thing is his diligence in middle and long-range shooting. Due to injury, Hunter has only played 18 games in the schedule so far this season. Has been able to contribute 17.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, and personal data has been comprehensively improved. What's more, Hunter's shooting percentage is as high as 5 1.4%, and his three-point shooting percentage is also 36.6%.
Although his template is Leonard, it is difficult for Hunter, who was born in the senior draft, to reach the height of the former. His upper limit may not be too high, but the lower limit is guaranteed. Judging from Hunter's performance, you can feel the shadow of top 3D. Thanks to the excellent static talent, the progressive hunter is gradually breaking through his upper limit. Hunter is bound to occupy an important position in the future development plan of the eagle.
In fact, when Leonard played for the Spurs and became FMVP, no one thought that he would one day compete for the "first player in the league". After all, judging from his playing style and ability, no one thought that Leonard could grow into a super giant in the league. After all, at that time, he had no offensive ability, and at most he was an enhanced version of the elder brother. No one compares him with talented stars such as James and Duran, because he is just an ordinary player who started as a substitute. It is beyond many people's expectation that he can now become the top small forward in the league and the cornerstone of a team's championship. So when Leonard really can't replace James as the "first player in the league", we shouldn't be too harsh on him. After all, he has reached the limit he can reach and reached the upper limit of his personal talent. As for the "first player in the league" in the future, let the new generation of players such as Dancsics and Zion compete! ! !
The Lakers almost gave up Brother Thick Eyebrows for him. The template is Leonard. How's it going now? I always liked Leonard very much before, and I also recognized his playing style and strength after leaving the Spurs. After all, you should pay attention to the level of players when watching the ball.
Leonard's level is the top ten in the regular season league, the top six in the MVP list, and the top four to the top six in the playoff league. He gave a good passing system and played an old-fashioned heavy front line.
At the beginning, no one knew what Cass thought in the Spurs, but anyway, as far as the result is concerned,
Spurs fans were offended by cam.
Later, I came to the Raptors and ended the Warriors' three consecutive championships (it is really difficult for the Warriors to win three consecutive championships now,
The injury and morale may be because Cass happened to be in that position.
Warriors fans should not be happy to see cam succeed.
During the offseason, it was rumored that Cass did a lot of tricks to undermine the Lakers' signings. Whether it's true or not, before the game starts,
Cam's Clippers really became the biggest enemy of the Lakers.
Now they are China's biggest fans.
Cam offended too many fans along the way, so it should be expected not to be hated.
Back to 20 1 1, Cam entered the NBA with 15. His template is just Wallace, a defense engineer.
/kloc-entered the finals as a second-year rookie in 0/3.
But missed a goal that changed many people's lives. He paid the price for being young that year.
14 years, leading LeBron to score efficiently. Get fmvp.
17 years, he fell at the feet of a famous star. Failed to make it to the final. Who would have thought this was Achilles' heel?
/kloc-won the nba championship against the trend in 0/9.
For 20 years, the team's discipline and shortcomings stopped at the top four in the west.
Watch for nine years.
No matter how you look at it, talents are not top.
But an inspirational story of success through one's own efforts.
Xiao Ka has the ability, but his personality always gives people a feeling of "rainy day" instead of sunshine.
Have the basketball strength to be a leader, but not the aura and courage to be a leader.
Lack of personality is easily associated with Adu and Ying Ge. No matter how strong their ability is, their influence will be greatly reduced.
Nowadays, many fans who hold Cass are actually jumping at LeBron, but they don't really appreciate Cass.
It is aimed at those who have the momentum to stop LeBron, and they support them, so that all kinds of scolding have blackened Cam all day.
The Raptors without Cass are still the best teams in the East.
Winning the championship was attributed to many main injuries of the Warriors, so the strength was not recognized.
Tang Shen basically renewed his contract with the Warriors at the highest salary, so it is impossible for him to come to the Lakers.
Leonard and James actually overlap and both need to hold the ball at the crucial moment, so there is something wrong with their cooperation. Leonard can get a very high salary at the Raptors, and I don't think it is likely that he will come to the Lakers.
Walker, Owen and Shuila, in fact, there is no problem in attack and organization. The key is defense. James is getting older and his body and defense are deteriorating. If he defends the No.1 black hole, he can't play in the playoffs.
So on the whole, JB is actually the most suitable. As a swingman, he has a top defense and can cooperate well with James to make up for James' lack of defense. Moreover, JB also has a strong independent offensive and organizational ability, and can bring the second lineup to give James more rest time in the regular season. The only problem is that it is too expensive.
I think the Lakers should take 32 million yuan apart and use it, such as Hebei+Horford, get a middle-class 3D player, and add some substitutes, and the lineup will be fine. Compared with the deformed Big Three, starting is very difficult. This lineup has a balanced attack and defense, reasonable salary and can go further in the playoffs.
