From making the Lakers full of expectations to complaining now, the data explains in detail how Schroeder did it.

Let's put the time back to the 20-year offseason.

The newly won Los Angeles Lakers reached an agreement:

Danny green, the team's main shooting guard, and his first draft in the NBA in 20 years were traded from Thunder to Dennis Schr?eder.

At that time, the conclusion of the deal (the arrival of Schroeder) made the Lakers and fans full of expectations for the new season, or defending their titles.

Why?

Statistically speaking, Schroeder led the league substitute scoring list with an average score of 19-20. To put it bluntly, it is the substitute scoring champion.

What does this mean for the Lakers?

You know, in the 19-20 season, the Lakers averaged only 39.3 points per game, nearly one-third less than the first Clippers (50.3 points). In other words, the scoring ability of the Lakers bench group is very weak.

Say another word about the weak points of the substitute.

Although this did not affect the final championship, it does not mean that the team does not need to reinforce it.

I mean:

In the new season (defending season), James is one year older, so he must use it "reasonably" from a healthy point of view and put more energy and physical strength into the playoffs. In other words, other players, especially substitutes, should bear more responsibilities.

On the other hand, as the defending champion, he will also be targeted by the whole league. In other words, a little deficiency may be caught by the opponent, thus constantly magnifying.

It can be said that the arrival of Schroeder can greatly alleviate the problem of weak substitute scores-in the 19-20 season, you can get 18.9% after playing 47. 1%/37.9%/83.3% in 63 appearances respectively. There are both stable attendance and stable performance on the court.

Technically, Schroeder averaged 1 1.7 times in the 19-20 season, which was higher than the star players such as Tatum and Alphabet.

Under the condition of stable output, the average hit rate after breaking 49.9% can get 6.6 points. It is worth mentioning that this breakthrough efficiency is higher than that of star players such as Harden and Bill.

More importantly, this 6.6 points accounts for one-third of the individual score. On the whole, several data show that Schroeder is a player who is good at breakthrough and scores well. This can obviously greatly improve the situation that the Lakers, except James, did not hold the ball stably and break through the finish line.

In the same season, Schroeder averaged 7.3 rounds (accounting for 38.4% of individual offensive rounds) with the ball and scored 0.96 points per game, which was better than 78.5% of the players in the league.

In other words, Schroeder is expected to use a bigger and stronger "Brother Thick Eyebrows" anthony davis on the offensive end, just like the combination of Brother Thick Eyebrows and Horodi in the Pelican team.

I mean:

Although the pick-and-roll of James and Brother Thick Eyebrows is a killer, the only fly in the ointment is that they are almost the same height and position, and they can't get the effect of dislocation. As a small defender, Schroeder is different. After he and Brother Thick Eyebrows pick and roll, he can make the latter face a defender who is far less tall than himself.

Judging from the average data and technical characteristics, Schroeder makes the Lakers and fans full of expectations. On the one hand, it can improve the team's substitute score and the lack of stable offensive points outside James. On the other hand, it is promising to activate a more powerful brother with thick eyebrows on the offensive end.

But!

Desire is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Since the season, Schroeder has not only failed to perform as expected, but also made people complain. This should start from three aspects:

The first point: data.

So far this season, Schroeder has averaged 15.2 points per game, much lower than last season's 18.9 points. More importantly, compared with last season, the three-point shooting rate has declined to varying degrees, especially the three-point shooting rate has directly dropped to 3 1.8% of the lower-middle level in the league.

It is true that the Lakers' bench team currently leads the league with 4 1.7 points per game, more than the Pistons, Clippers, Grizzlies and Timberwolves. However, this has nothing to do with Schroeder who started the game, but more depends on harel who came off the bench-he can get 15. 1 point per game, which is more than one third of the total score.

The second point: performance on the court.

It is true that Schroeder has had a breakthrough of 12.9 and a finishing efficiency of 47% (much higher than Booker and Shao Wei) so far this season. However, due to the limited vision and passing ability brought by short stature, the passing rate after the breakthrough is less than 30%.

In other words, his breakthrough is more just a simple breakthrough, and he can't use the breakthrough to tear open his opponent's defense line to drive his teammates' attack.

This is different from Rondo who left the team.

Rondo's breakthrough is more about passing, and Schroeder is more about ending. This is good when James is present and can relieve his pressure, but when he is not present, the problem comes. The team does not have a reliable organizer. Schroeder is just a substitute for Rondo.

Moreover, Schroeder did not activate the more powerful thick eyebrow brother on the offensive end.

Schroeder averaged 6.7 rounds per game (accounting for 39.9% of individual offensive rounds), and few tumbling rounds were completed with Brother Thick Eyebrows. In fact, the ball passed to Brother Thick Eyebrow only accounts for 12.5% of Schroeder's personal pass, but after receiving the pass from Schroeder, Brother Thick Eyebrow's hit rate is less than 50% (far lower than the hit rate in the state of not receiving the ball).

The third point: there has been no agreement on renewing the contract.

If it is too late to adjust the first two points because of the lack of chemical reaction and tacit understanding, then the third point is almost unsolvable at present.

On the one hand, Schroeder's performance failed to meet expectations, and the Lakers management dared not give a long contract; On the other hand, Schroeder asked for a long contract. It is difficult for both sides to reach an agreement on this.

In fact, Schroeder and others have long been traded by the team to the Raptors in exchange for all-star player Lori at the deadline.

If Schroeder is still so tepid in the second half of the season, it is foreseeable that the two sides are likely to go their separate ways in the offseason. Then the Lakers really ended up drawing water with nothing-they only got the right to use it for one season.

Generally speaking, Schroeder filled the Lakers and fans with expectations last season because of his data and technical characteristics, and also because these two points did not perform as expected this season, and he could not reach a renewal agreement, which can be said to make people complain. For now, Schroeder is not without the possibility of leaving the Lakers in the offseason. What will the Lakers management think then? I'm afraid I'm crying.
