Regress in one year, this is the No. 17 show, the Lakers are helpless

The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the same city rival Clippers 58-67 in the summer league, but this game allowed fans to see two completely different performances - Brownie James played his personal best summer league game, while Dalton Kneckett continued to fall into a deep depression, and the performance of the two was in sharp contrast.

Browney made 6 of 10 shots in this game, 3 of 5 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, efficiently scoring 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, tied for the highest team with plus or negative value +5. He showed comprehensive scoring methods on the offensive end, whether it was an outside three-pointer, a breakthrough layup or a organizational connection, it was eye-catching.

First quarter: hit a three-pointer at the beginning, and then assisted his teammates to score. He contributed 5 points and 1 assist in a single quarter. In the first half: made all 4 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists

Last quarter: made another key three-pointer, but unfortunately the Lakers failed to reverse in the last moment. This is Brownie Summer United's best performance so far. His progress can be seen from the naked eye, especially the stability of the outside shooting and defensive enthusiasm, which has far exceeded people's expectations for the No. 55 pick. In contrast, Lakers' first-round pick Kneckett's performance was a disaster. He made only 3 of 15 shots in the game, 1 of 8 three-pointers and 1 of 4 free throws, scoring only 8 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, with a plus-minus value of -13 the worst in the game.

The three-pointer in the open space was hit by many times, and even three-pointers were not touched, and the three-pointer in the base corner lost again. The defense end was frequently lost, becoming the opponent's key target of attacking, which was the fourth downturn in five games in Kneckett's United. It was the previous cold-hearted fight against the Warriors (3 of 13 shots) and the Heat (2 of 7 shots) and the Heat (2 of 7 shots). They only burst out against the Spurs and scored 25 points.

Kneckett performed amazingly at the beginning of last season, scoring 37 points in the 14th game, but his condition fluctuated, especially after the trade failure in February (the Lakers tried to exchange him for the Hornets center Magnificent), and his playing time was further reduced. Although the three-point shooting percentage rebounded to 40.8% in the final stage, Reddick was completely abandoned in the playoffs and played for only 4 minutes.

Kneckett's advantage lies in his projection, but his defensive awareness and stability are still a flaw. If he cannot improve next season, his rotation position will be at stake. If Brownie can continue the performance of Summer United, it may even impact the Lakers' regular rotation.

This summer league game gave Lakers fans hope and hidden dangers.

Kenett's performance in his rookie season was not a big start. As a functional player who mainly targets shooting, his offensive state is reasonable. Although this year's offensive end is certainly disappointing, the problem on the defensive end may be the key that he urgently needs to solve.

If you continue to play like this, the Lakers are afraid because Knector's trading value is plummeting.
