Excellent defensive ability but poor offensive performance. Does the Clippers inside rookie need to improve their performance?

In a previous NBA summer league game, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Houston Rockets 95-92 after a hard battle, achieving a good start in the summer league.

In this game, the performance of the Clippers' starting inside rookie Yanic Konan Niederhauser was still eye-catching. Niedhauser played 26 minutes and 23 seconds in the game, made 0 of 4 shots, 0 of 1 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 1 point, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 blocks, and had 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -2. Niedhauser's performance on the offensive end is indeed a bit unsatisfactory. His scoring ability is very average. It is difficult for him to create more threats in the opponent's interior, and his stability in outside shooting is also not ideal. However, Niedhauser's performance on the defensive end is also quite remarkable. His physical talent and athletic ability are amazing. He can provide extremely excellent basket protection support in the inside. He also has a large defensive coverage area, and his rebound protection ability is also quite good. Overall, Niedhauser also relied on his own efforts to provide everyone with great help and support, but his offensive skills and finishing ability are more or less worrying.

Nidhauser was born in March 2003 and is 22 years old. He is the Swiss insider from the NCAA team Penn State University, who was selected by the Clippers in the 30th pick in the first round of this year's NBA Draft. According to the physical test data of previous NBA joint trials, his bare feet are 211.5cm tall, his wingspan is 221.6cm, his standing height is 281.9cm, and his weight is 110kg. In the NCAA game last season, Nedhauser made a total of 29 appearances for Pennsylvania, where he is located, with averaging 25.1 minutes per game, averaging 12.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.3 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 61.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 9.1%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 66.4%.

Nidhauser's performance in the NCAA field last season was quite average. He has a very good ability to protect the basket. He can provide great support to the team on the defensive end. His performance on the offensive end is actually pretty good, and he also has a decent ability to score at the basket. However, it seems that Niedhauser's stability on the offensive end is relatively average. It is also a bit disappointing that he made such a bad performance on the offensive end in the first game of the summer league. I wonder what kind of performance will be in the next game. Can he provide more help and support to the team on the offensive end while maintaining the defensive contribution of this game?
