Judging from the performance in the game, Bazemore withdrew from the rotation lineup, which has a lot to do with his sluggish performance. After the Lakers suffered a very serious injury, Bazemore became a stable starting backcourt, averaging 24.3 minutes per game.
However, when there was an opportunity, Bazemore failed to seize it. He averaged only 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds 1 assist, with a shooting percentage of only 33.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 30.8%. On the offensive end, he can't restrain the opponent's attack. This performance also made vogel gradually lose confidence in Bazemore, which also led to Tucker's comeback. Bazemore was directly hidden in the snow and didn't get a minute's playing time.
Bazemore himself is a very good 3D player. He played a very important role in the Warriors last season. On the offensive end, he can hit the outside and help the team. On the defensive end, he can also limit the breakthrough of the opposing players, and the offensive and defensive ends are stable.
He can hand over 7.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game, with 44.9% shooting percentage and 40.8% shooting percentage. However, in these games for the Lakers, it is obvious that Bazemore is not suitable for the Lakers' tactical system. In the game, he can't get more shooting space, and at the same time, he needs to bear more on the defensive end, which also leads to a sharp decline in his efficiency in the game. Compared with last season, all the data of Bazemore have declined.
In my opinion, Bazemore's style of play is more suitable for the Warriors, because with players like Curry, Bazemore can get a good shooting space and also complete the defensive task assigned by Cole. Under the warrior's tactical system, Bazemore can play his best role. In the offseason this year, the Warriors also hoped to keep Bazemore, but he chose to sign a basic salary with the Lakers and refused a bigger contract with the Warriors.
In the new season, Bazemore expected to have a better performance in the Lakers, but what he didn't expect was that he had already withdrawn from the rotation after playing more than ten games. Although vogel said that Bazemore will still be an important rotation player of the team, with Tucker's wonderful performance in the game and the return of Nunn and Reeves, Bazemore's playing time will definitely be affected, and it is difficult to get playing time like at the beginning of the season in subsequent games. In some games (such as the Spurs), Bazemore may hide in the snow. Here, Bazemore does not regret his decision to leave the Warriors and join the Lakers with a basic salary. After all, if Bazemore had stayed with the Warriors, he might have been in a better position than he is now.
