The Lakers 14+2 lineup was finalized! Two-way contract locked in two players

On July 22, well-known reporter Shams brought the Lakers' latest lineup updates: the team officially signed two young players, Christian Kroko and Chris Mannon, both of which were two-way contracts. At the same time, the Lakers officially confirmed that they had cut Dickson and Jamison, who had previously held a two-way contract. At this point, the lineup framework of 14 formal contracts and 2 two-way contracts in the new season has been completed.

Koroc stays at the team: It is no surprise that the inside substitute will get a chance to renew the contract

Christian Koroc stays at the team. In June this year, the Lakers offered him a qualification offer, making him a restricted free agent, which means the Lakers reserve the right to match other teams' offers. Last season, the young inside player played 37 regular season games for the Lakers. Although he averaged only 9.2 minutes per game, his efficiency was still acceptable and he could contribute 2.4 points and 2.5 rebounds. His height and basket protection ability are a complement to the Lakers' inside depth. In the new season, he will continue to strive for performance opportunities in a limited time.

Monon joins: The undraft shows 3D potential

Chris Manon joins is a reflection of the Lakers' discovery of new blood. As the undrafted Golden State Warriors played in the California Classic and Las Vegas Summer League, Ma Farm averaged 17.1 minutes per game, with a very comprehensive data: 9.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists. What is even more impressive is that he averaged 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per game! This fully demonstrates his defensive enthusiasm and versatility.

Dixon and Jamison left the team

With the joining of Kroko and Mannon, Dixon and Jamison, who hold two-way contracts, became victims of lineup adjustments.

Jamison: He played 22 games for the Lakers last season, averaging 2.6 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

Dixon: This undrafted in June this year only reached a two-way contract agreement with the Lakers, but was cut before the opportunity to play officially.

The Lakers' 14+2 lineup list for the new season is as follows:

Regular contract (14 people):

LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Austin Reeves, Hachimura Ei, Jared Vanderbilt, Gab Vincent, Max Christie, Jalen Hood Shifino, Skyra Mays, rookie Dalton Kneckett, rookie Brownie James, Jaxon Hayes, Cam Reddish, Torrion Prince

Two-way contract (2 people):

Christian Kroko, Chris Mannon

Brief comment: The Lakers' operation focuses on the reserve of young players at the end of the lineup. Leaving Kroko to maintain the depth of the inside, signing Ma Nong was aware of the defensive potential and vitality shown in his summer league. Both new two-way contract players need to continue to improve in the new season's training and possible development league games, striving to prove themselves in limited NBA appearances, providing teams with immediate combat power and future possibilities. In the new season, the Lakers will continue to attack the championship with James Doncic as the core, supplemented by a deep character lineup.
