End! The Lakers have clear goals, even Kessler doesn t want this

Explanation point 1: Progress. In the rookie season, he averaged 9.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, 8.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game in the second grade, and 1.1 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game in the third grade. It is obvious that Kessler has shown an improvement trend since entering the NBA.

Explanation point 2: Sample. The rookie season played for 1703 minutes, the second grade 1493 minutes, and the third grade 1740 minutes. Just this season, the league is 140th and the same position is 22nd. Note: 107 inside players have appeared this season. Therefore, it is still enough to look at Kessler's data from the perspective of playing time.

Of course, there is not no lack of existence.

First, lacking independent offensive ability based on the average of 67.3% assisted power in his career.

Second, 94.2% of the career averages came from the inside, which is one of them. Second, the CET rate, large two-point score and three-point score are 0%, 0% and 14.7% respectively. Obviously, there is no shooting threat except for the inside.

To sum up, Kessler can be defined as a high-quality blue-collar insider - lack of offensive means, but the rebounding and basket protection abilities are at the top level.

Kessler is suitable for the Lakers?

, in my opinion, is definitely suitable.

First, the demand for the inside is more to convert the pass into scores, Doncic and James, with the ball.

Kesler's shooting rates under the basket and near the basket have reached 78.0% and 55.3% respectively in his career. Obviously, you can effectively grasp the opportunity when it arises.

Secondly, in addition to rebound protection and basket protection on the defensive end, Kessler also has the ability to switch defense that most of the inside players do not have.

Taking this season as an example, after switching defense, it interfered with the opponent's three-point shooting 406 times, suppressing the shooting rate from 36.2% to 35.0%. In the famous scene, the three-point rate with Alexander was limited by 14.7% in 29 rounds; the three-point rate with Paul was limited by 20.6% in 20 rounds.

At the same time, according to the NBA China official website, the Lakers will not trade Reeves unless they are exchanged for the top inside.

Based on this news, with the Lakers' clear goal, I think they gave up trading Kessler.

Reason 1: Positioning. As I said just now, Kessler's current offensive ability can only be considered a high-quality blue-collar insider and a top insider.

Reason 2: Bargaining chips. It is not denied that the Jazz is a reconstruction team, but the problem is that Kessler will not worry about the next home. For example, the Knicks did not trade, Towns once offered two first round quotes, but was rejected by Anji.

In contrast, the Lakers, under the premise that Doncic and James cannot trade, the most competitive chip at this stage is Reeves. But Pelinka is unwilling to go out, so it will definitely not be able to convince Anji to release him.

Overall, Pelinka attaches too much importance to Reeves, which leads to the loss of the possibility of trading Kessler. From another perspective, only the top insiders appear in the trading market. Can Reeves really get it?
