Average of 1.9 three-pointers in his career! A copy of Markkanen, who is eager to return to the NBA, can the Lakers get the basic salary?

Season 24-25, Markkanen averaged 19.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in 47 appearances, with a shooting rate of 42.3%/34.6%/87.6% in three events and a true shooting rate of 57.1%.

Explanation point 1: The proportion of three-point shooting. A total of 700 shots were made in the season, of which 399 were from outside the three-point line. The proportion is as high as 57%, which means that this is the main ending method.

In fact, Markanin's three-point shooting accounted for 49.5% of the 450 games so far in his career.

Explanation point 2: Three-point efficiency. The total 138 three-pointers hit in this season are seventh among the big players, but the 34.6% three-point rate is quite different from Towns (42.0%) and Jokic (41.7%).

It should be noted that Markkanin's three-pointer rate has been 37.1% so far in his career - the same position is at the elite level. Why did Markanen's three-point rate plummet in the

24-25 seasons?

In my opinion, it is related to injury.

First of all, due to injury, Maca only made 47 appearances in this season, with an attendance rate of 57.3% being the lowest in his career. Secondly, the three-point rate in four games in October was 45%, and the three-point rate in 11 games in November was 39.5%. In other words, before encountering injuries, Markkanin had the top three-point level in the same position.

In addition, although it is a space-type insider, Markkanin has the ability to hold the investment that the same type does not have.

Explanation point: Breakthrough.

First, the 13th most big player per game broke through 4.2 times per game. Secondly, the shooting rate after the breakthrough was 54.3%, which is second only to Embiid's 61.4% among the big players who averaged at least 2.0 breakthroughs per game, but the latter only made 19 appearances, resulting in a small sample.

Under complete health, Markkanen's offense is a bit "extended" Durant's sense of déjà vu. To be precise, an opponent with the ability to shoot does not dare to take a step, but the defender is too close to the body and can easily be passed. Of course, this is also the main reason for the high efficiency of breakthrough and ending.

Of course, like most space insiders, defense is not what Markanen is good at.

Description point 1: Data. The true positive and negative average of defense has been -1.1 in my career. It should be noted that no season of the Bulls, Knights or Jazz periods is positive. For reference, "0" is only qualified. In other words, Markanen's defense has been in a failed position since entering the league.

Explanation point 2: Reference. This season, 36.8% of the defensive opponents shot less than 6 feet. As an inside line, more basket protection is good, but the problem is that the opponents are shooting from 61.5% and 63.3% in the area under his defense.

In the famous defensive scene, the questioned Lillard scored 14 points in 4 of 7 shots in just 2 minutes and 45 seconds under his defense, while the Bucks only scored 19 points at the same time.

In fact, there are still players who look at NBA history and have similar characteristics to Markanen. For example, Gallinari, the No. 6 pick in 2008.

Explanation point 1: three points. He averaged 1.9 three-pointers and a shooting rate of 38.1%. It is worth mentioning that he averaged 2.9 three-pointers per game in the 19-20 season, second only to Towns' 3.3 among the big players.

Explanation point 2: Hold on to invest. Judging from the 48.7% two-point assist power in his career, nearly half of the two-point shots came from behind the dribble. Combined with the true shooting rate of 59.2%, this efficiency is still very objective.

Description point three: Position. 43% play the third position and 49% play the fourth position. Obviously, like Markkanen, he is also a forward swinger - swaying upward or downward according to the opponent and tactics.

Based on this, it seems to me that Gallinari can be a replica of Markanin. To be precise, the two have similar characteristics, and the gap is more about ending efficiency and honor. To put it more, Markanen was selected as the All-Star with an average average of 25.6 points in the 22-23 season.

According to the NBA China official website, Garlinari is eager to return to the NBA as a veteran. To put it more, the former played for the Bucks in the 23-24 season, and since then faded out of the league and joined the Puerto Rico Basketball League.

replica Markanen, can the Lakers get the basic salary?

For this, I think there is a great hope.

Reason 1: Exposure. In this alone, the Lakers are the only existence in the league.

Reason 2: Opportunity. As a team that focuses on three points and is also the main way of finishing Doncic in the core, it is obvious that Gallinari's three points will be helpful to the team. In other words, the opportunity can be guaranteed, especially when the thickness of the inside line of the Purple and Gold Legion is insufficient.

Reason 3: Contract. Unlike tens of millions or even mini middle class, the basic salary contract can be directly issued at this stage.

To sum up the above three points, we can understand that the Lakers can sign directly and provide relatively stable opportunities, and then through this super high exposure, Gallinari can play a role in proving himself.
