In fact, last season, the Lakers had a chance to get Davis. There have been rumors of a transaction between the two parties, but there has been no action until the transaction deadline. The main reason is that the Pelican still has a glimmer of hope to keep Davis, and the Lakers' chips at that time were not appreciated by others. Finally, because the Pelican was lucky to choose Zion, a historical rookie, to train new people, and the Lakers were lucky to choose the No.4 draft, and then packaged Ingram, Bauer, Hart and two other first-round draft, which contributed to the deal.
In fact, this transaction is a win-win situation. Since Davis is leaving, it is better to trade him as soon as possible so as not to lose money when the contract expires. The players they got are already the main force of the team. Ingram was selected as an all-star, and the ball brother was in charge. Hart averaged 10.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. They can help Zion enter the playoffs as soon as possible. But everyone is not very clear about the status quo of the No.4 sign, one of the important chips. If the Lakers use the No.4 draft, the players they choose will definitely attract everyone's attention. If you look at Kuzma now, it is only the end of the first round, and everyone has a high popularity. But after leaving the Lakers, everyone doesn't even know who to sign and which team to choose.
At that time, because there were too many potential stocks in the team, the pelican did not intend to have another player with high draft. Because he couldn't train, he made a deal with the eagle and sent out the No.4 sign. The eagle chose Dean Liehunter. He is a small forward, with a height of 2m 0 1. Because the Hawks have Trey Young in the backcourt and Collins in the inside, it is more reasonable to choose a small forward.
Hunter has also played 55 games this season, and the attendance rate is very good. But in performance, he is obviously still adapting to the intensity of NBA games. He can get 12.5 points and 4. 1 rebounds 1.8 assists per game, barely worthy of his high ranking. But the hit rate is only 4 1.3%, which is too low for a striker. Of course, low hit rate is also a common problem for novices. Treyan was even lower at this time last season, but his efforts in the second half quickly improved the data. Hunter's scoring method is comprehensive. His shooting heat map shows that his shots are evenly distributed, from the basket to the middle distance and then to the three-point line, which proves that he does not have too many shortcomings in technology.
The eagle's lineup is also good now. The biggest weakness is the position of the swinging person. If Hunter can grow up quickly, it can help the Hawks return to the playoffs quickly.
