The Lakers new choice for the second round pick? Has tried 5+5 older centers, only two advantages are worth looking forward to

At this year's draft, the Lakers had limited room for operation, and there was only one second round final draft pick. Of course, judging from the current situation, the Lakers management has at least carefully examined and tried many rookie players instead of sending the sign away or choosing a player.

According to reporter Vince Wofam, the Lakers' second round pick seems to have a new choice. The team has tried out center Dai Lan Caldwell from Auburn University. Since he played in the NCAA for five years, he is a typical older center, and there is even a possibility that he will fail in the draft.

In fact, just looking at Dai Lan Caldwell's data, many fans have lost their dreams. Logically speaking, older rookies will at least be able to fully load the basic data. But Dai Lan Caldwell, who is already 24 years old, can only average 5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per game this season. After repeated verification, the author confirmed that there is no problem with this data. Dai Lan Caldwell is very inconspicuous in the college league, so the Lakers are really confused about his trial training.

Even if you look at the scout report of Dai Lan Caldwell, there are probably only two advantages that are worth looking forward to. First, compared with other blue-collar centers, Dai Lan Caldwell has the ability to support and can send a wonderful pass to his teammates. At the same time, he is the top inside player in terms of flexibility and speed. He doesn't look that bulky and is more in line with the modern basketball style, so this may arouse the interest of the Lakers coaching staff.

However, based on Dai Lan Caldwell's ability and performance, it is probably not a wise move to choose with the second round of picks. If you really want to pick up a bargain on Taobao, it is also time for him to lose the election and give him another training camp contract. Because Dai Lan Caldwell has many problems, it even seems fatal. For example, when he leaves the three-second zone, there is no offensive threat at all, and he can even eat cakes at an empty space at the basket. Once the opponent interferes, he has no means of hooking or shooting. At the same time, we are all used to centers with free throw margins, but Dailan Caldwell only had a free throw shooting percentage of 31.6%, which simply refreshed the outside world's perception. In addition, he is prone to fouls, physical condition and overall talent, and is not particularly outstanding among inside players. It can be seen that it is very difficult for Dailan Caldwell to gain a foothold in the NBA, so don't expect anything else.
