Can shoot and defend, can the number one star of the weakest team in the NCAA get a contract from the Lakers?

In the previous NBA Summer League California Classic game, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 89-84, achieving a good start in the summer league.

Although the Lakers lost the game, the team's substitute wing player Ethan Taylor is still worthy of recognition. Taylor played 14 minutes and 36 seconds in the whole game, made 2 of 4 shots and 2 of 3 from outside the three-point line, scored 6 points and 1 assist, and had 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +3. Taylor did not get much out of the phone on the offensive end, but he still showed his outstanding shooting ability and seized the opportunity to get some points. He could still play a certain role in this regard. Taylor's performance on the defensive end is also average, and he is still highly motivated. But his performance in foul control is still a little worse, and he has made too many fouls. , He also needs some improvement in this regard. In any case, as a role player with few playing time, it is already quite good that he can perform like this.

Taylor was born in June 2002 and is 23 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. In the NCAA game last season, Taylor played 32 times in total for the Air Force Academy, averaging 36.4 minutes per game, with averaging 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 2.3 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 38.6%, three-point shooting percentage was 38.4%, and free throw shooting percentage was 79.4%. Taylor's personal performance in the NCAA field last season was actually quite good. His defensive ability was quite outstanding, and his outside shooting ability has always been able to maintain a relatively high level. With his outstanding performance, Taylor was also shortlisted for the third team of the Mountain West League's best team last season. However, Taylor's Air Force Academy is one of the worst teams in the NCAA Division I league, which also makes people have some questions about his data and performance.

Taylor held a trial for the Lakers before the draft. He also received a summer league contract from the Lakers after the draft. It seems that the Lakers are quite satisfied with his performance in the trial. Taylor is also a potential 3D type wing player, and he is of high value to most teams. If he can keep his performance on the outside and defense at a high level, he will also have a chance to attract the attention of some teams. Even if he cannot get a two-way contract, he will have the opportunity to get a stable playing time in the NBA Development League, and he will still have the opportunity to launch an attack on the NBA.
