The Lakers latest 16-man roster is released: The four new players are looking forward to it, and the five starting players have reached the championship level

On July 3, the Lakers' fourth new player has already been in place this year. Overall, General Manager Pelinka did not spend much money, but he has gained a lot. The Lakers' latest 16-man roster has been released. Although there may be variables in the future, such as they are still pursuing Horford, the most basic core lineup is almost the same. From the lineup, the Lakers' starting five tigers have reached the championship level, and the four new players are looking forward to it.

Let's first talk about the four new players of the Lakers this summer, namely Aiton, Laravia, No. 36 Thiero, and Dickson was defeated. Ayton is the biggest player among these players. He was the No. 1 pick in 2018. He averaged 15+10 games in his career, and scored 15 points per game with a playoff shooting percentage of 60%. This is the only in history. Ayton is skilled and many people say he is soft, but in fact he is not soft, but he is just lazy occasionally. In the NBA, I have been rebounding double digits for seven consecutive years. Can I be a soft guy? Let’s take a look at Jaren Jackson, who has just renewed his contract for 240 million yuan in five years. How many rebounds he has?

The second new player is Laravia, who is also the first person to contact with Lakers General Manager Pelinka after the free market opened this year. As a young shooter, Laravia shot 42.3% of three-point shooting percentage last season, and is definitely a reliable shooter. When he comes to James, Doncic and Rivers, he has endless cakes and there will be a lot of room for it. At the same time, don't forget that he has an underestimated ball-holding ability, and is not a single-function shooter positioning. The third new player is No. 36 Tierro, the template is Vanderbilt, but it is just a short and strong version. Tiero is 199cm tall, has a very fierce style of play and poor shooting ability, but he is top-notch in defense, which is a bit similar to Amen Thompson of the Rockets, but his size and dynamic talent are not as good as Amen, but his defensive fighting spirit is really not inferior to Amen. Thiero fell to the second round due to a knee injury, otherwise he might be in the first round. Tiero can't play this summer league, but it's because of a knee injury.

The fourth new player is the undraft, Dickson, signed by the Lakers' two-way contract, from Villanova University. Many people don’t know about Dixon, but he is actually very famous in the NCAA. He was the NCAA’s total scoring champion last season. In the 24-25 season, he averaged 23.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 40.7%. He is a top scorer with both quality and output. The reason why Dixon lost the election is because he is 24 years old and has played in the NCAA for 5 years and has no potential to tap. But as an instant player, using a two-way contract to gamble is a good choice for the Lakers.

In addition to these four new players, the 12 Lakers' career players are James, Doncic, Rivers, Hachimura, Vincent, Kneckett, Vanderbilt, Cleber, Brownie, Goodwin, Milton, and Trey Jamison (two-way contract). If nothing unexpected happens, the five starting points of the Lakers next season should be James + Doncic + Rivers + Hachimura Shizuo + Ayton. To be honest, this starting lineup is already at the championship level. In terms of substitutes, the Lakers are still relatively weak. Those who are sure to enter the rotation should be Vincent, Laravia, Vanderbilt, and a few others, such as Goodwin, Milton, and even Brownie, who can all compete for it. Rookie Thiero and two two-way contract players should have spent most of their time playing in the G League.
