Shooting rate is 40% + 36%! Kessler doesn t give it, but the Jazz will "put it" to the Lakers
9:57pm, 7 August 2025Basketball
In fact, it was revealed as early as the 23-24 season that the Lakers were interested in Kessler, but at present, it is especially considering that the Jazz is at the helm of Angie, and it is still very difficult for the Lakers to get Kessler. What are the characteristics of

Kesler?
24-25 season, Kessler can limit his opponent's shooting from 64.1% to 53.4% with 438 interferences with opponents' shots less than 6 feet. Just look at the efficiency of protecting the basket, look at the data comparison of the group:
1, Evan Mobley's limit value is 54.4%;
2, Gobert's limit value is 53.7%;
3, Wenban Yama's limit value is 50.8%. According to the comparison data, Kessler has the league's top basket protection ability. At the same time, 406 interferences against opponents' three-point shooting limits the opponent's shooting rate from 36.2% to 35%. Just to prevent three-point efficiency, we should look at the group data comparison:
1, Zubac's limit value is 35.7%;
2, Jaren Jackson Jr.'s limit value is 33.6%;
3, Naz Reed's limit value is 34.9%.
To sum up, we can define Kessler's characteristics as having the league's top basket protection and elite level of defense switching capabilities at the same position. Based on this, this feature is that it can complement Ayton, who is relatively strong in offense and weak in defense.

But as I said just now, it is almost impossible for the Lakers to get Kessler. However, for the Jazz, this is limited to Kessler. The subtext is that other Jazz players are still expected to get them.
We all know that after the free agent market opened, the Clippers, Jazz and Heat reached a three-party deal. For the Jazz, John Collins was sent to get players such as Love.
According to the NBA China official website, Love is negotiating with the Jazz to buy out.

Regarding Love, it should be noted that:
first, the mid-range shooting in the 24-25 season accounted for 8.5% of the shooting rate was 40%. For the mid-range shot rate, look at the group comparison:
1, Adeba approximate value is 45.3%;
2, Downs value is 34.3%;
3, Porzingis value is 35.6%.
Second, three-point shooting accounted for 58.3% of the season, down 36% of the shooting rate. For the three-point rate, let’s look at the group comparison:
1, Wenban Yama's value is 35.2%;
2, Myers Turner's value is 39.6%;
3, Horford's value is 36.3%.
To sum up two points, even at the age of 37, Love still has the ability to shoot at mid-range and long-range with the same level. From another perspective, if you average about 15 minutes per game, you still contributed to the offensive end. Will Jazz
buy out with Love?
I think it is very likely.
First, like Wizards, Hornets and other teams, the Jazz have no record pressure in the new season, which is one of them. Secondly, there are also young players such as Markkanen and Kessler in the Jazz's inner line. Relatively speaking, there is no place for Love.

Second, the annual salary of Lefu in 25-26 is only US$4.1 million. If you buy out (the former gives up part of your salary), the Jazz can achieve the purpose of saving money.
Can the Lakers get Love?
If you reach it with the Jazz, I think the Lakers are very likely to get Love.
First, Los Angeles is Love's hometown. Nothing is better than returning to the roots before retirement, just like Paul who returns to the Clippers - the current news is probably the last season.
Second second, considering Hayes lacks shooting, if Love joins, it is still hard to say who is the second center of the Lakers. From another perspective, joining the Lakers can make use of their remaining energy for Love. From this perspective, it is very attractive to Love. To put it bluntly, some players are unwilling to do nothing, especially in front of their hometown elders.
Relatively speaking, I think the second point is the main reason.

First of all, as I said just now, Love still has the ability to fight, then any team is eager to prove its role. And the Lakers can provide such a performance opportunity.
