The Lakers are trying out a 3D wing, and his team is actually the worst team in the United States?

Basketball

According to Ary, a senior backcourt player from the Air Force Academy, Ethan Taylor will try out for the Los Angeles Lakers. Ary said that Taylor is 1.96 meters tall and is a player with "3D potential". During his college career, his three-point shooting percentage reached 37%, with a total of nearly 700 shots. It is a name worth paying attention to in the stage before the draft begins.

Taylor was born in June 2002 and is 23 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is a very comprehensive wing player. Taylor played 32 times for the Air Force Academy this season, with averaging 36.4 minutes per game, averaging 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 2.3 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 38.6%, three-point shooting percentage was 38.4%, and free throw shooting percentage was 79.4%. With his outstanding performance, Taylor was also shortlisted for the Mountain West League's best third team. Taylor does have quite good shooting ability on the offensive end. Although it seems that the offensive efficiency is average, considering that almost 70% of his shots come from outside shooting, the efficiency is actually not bad. Taylor also has some passing and organizational abilities, and he can also take on enough responsibilities on the defensive end. He does have the opportunity to become a 3D type wing player as Ary said.

But the problem is that Taylor's Air Force Academy is a completely super weak brigade. The team's record in the NCAA field is 4 wins and 28 losses this season, which is simply not weaker. Taylor is the team's number one scorer, and his data seems to be worthy of recognition. He is also the most powerful player in the team. His ability is much higher than other teammates, but the poor record of the Air Force Academy will also make everyone doubt how his abilities are. What's more, he is older and his talent is not particularly outstanding, and his space for development will be very limited in the future.

Taylor should have a chance to be successfully shortlisted in this year's NBA Draft, and there is even a big gap with a qualified two-way contract player. The Lakers tried him, obviously not to choose him in the draft, but might just see if he has the chance to qualify for the summer league, or have the ability to appear on the Lakers' NBA Development League team, the Lakers' roster next season. I wonder what kind of performance Taylor will perform in the Lakers' trial. Will he have a chance to appear in the NBA or NBA Development League next season?
