If you choose a shooter, who should the Lakers choose the No. 55 draw? US media shows the top 5 candidates: former igniting the defender first

If you choose a reinforced scorer, which player should the Lakers choose with the No. 55 pick? The US media "fadeawayworld" showed five major candidates, among which the former ignited defender Dink Pate ranked first.

After winning James' eldest son Brownie with the 55th draw last year, the Lakers won the 55th draw this season. Due to the obvious shortcomings in the team's interior, the outside world generally predicts that the Lakers will select a substitute inside through the 55th draw.

The Lakers have also tried out several inside rookies in the past period of time, but it is not very likely to choose a rotation-level insider through the No. 55 pick. Instead, it is more reliable to bet on a defender with shooting. After all, the competition for local defenders in the United States is too fierce.

In addition, the Lakers also lack reliable outside projection points, the US media "fadeawayworld" also gave the Lakers five candidate shooters.

Fifth place: John Tongjie

Data: 19.6 points, three-point shooting percentage 38.8%

As a 24-year-old older rookie, John Tongjie is a reliable and ready-to-fight shooter. "Yahoo Sports" has positioned its ideal template for Struce.

Like Struz, his main selling point is his smart off-ball running and efficient three-point finishing. In the 24-25 season, he hit more than 40% of his three-point shooting percentage.

And his shortcomings are insufficient imagination space and limited athletic ability, but from the perspective of role players, these two shortcomings are not fatal.

4th place: Chaz Lanier

Data: 18 points, three-point shooting percentage 39.5%

Like Tongjie, the 23-year-old Lanier is also a typical senior defender who has just finished his major five season in the NCAA.

His three-pointers were not only accurate, but also produced quite high. He hit 123 three-pointers in the 24-25 season, setting a new record for the three-point shooting in the University of Tennessee team history in a single season. The reason why

is relatively low is mainly because the Lakers are unlikely to choose him at the 55th pick. His predicted pick is at the beginning of the second round. The Celtics, who currently holds 32nd pick, are interested in him and have completed the trial training for him.

Third place: Sain James

Data: 8.6 points, three-point shooting percentage is 41.3%

Sain James is also a big five rookie, but he is only 22 years old and he still has certain potential to explore.

Compared with the top two players, Sain James is actually more suitable for the Lakers' draft goal, because his biggest selling point is not more than 40% of the three-point shooting, but the excellent defensive influence brought by top athleticism.

Plus he has played a reliable role in a team with a mature system like Duke. For most teams that need immediate combat power, he is a good second-round candidate. The Warriors have completed his trial training.

Second place: Kobe Breya

Data: 11.4 points, three-point shooting percentage is 43.5%

If the Lakers pay more attention to shooting and technical attributes, then Kobe Breya will be a better choice. In his first five seasons, he averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 43.%.

This is not his best performance. When he played for Dayton University in his senior year, he averaged three-pointers per game with a terrifying 49.8% of his three-point shooting percentage.

Due to his physical hard talent, it is difficult for him to become an elite defender, but his defensive sense and position are good, and he is expected to develop into a 3D type player. The most important thing is that his shooting has experienced the test of a famous basketball school like Kentucky, and at the same time, the predicted ranking of around 50 is one of the reasonable goals of the Lakers.

No.1: Dink Petter

Data: 10.1 points, three-point shooting percentage 26.1%

Unlike other players on the list, Dink Petter, a former five-star high school student in the United States, did not follow the NCAA route, but joined the Ignite Team. After the Ignite Team was disbanded, he played in the G League in the past two seasons.

He is still only 19 years old after playing in the G League for two years, and is a real "high risk, high return" type of potential stock.

Referring to the situation and treatment of Kneckett and Brownie, even if the Lakers pick one with 55 picks, it is unlikely to use it. If they want to bet on a player who has been trained for a long time, Dink Pett deserves to bet on the top spot. The reason for him to be included in the category of shooters is mainly because compared with the previous season, his three-point shooting number has increased, and his shooting percentage has increased by 5 points, and he has the potential to become a shooter.
