Explosive! Back-to-back 38 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists! Finally able to make James proud
Brownie is doing well, scoring 15 points with 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals in one game, and then following up with 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists in the next, combining for a total of 38 points, 16 rebounds, and 11 assists in back-to-back games.
The young prince is playing better and better, gradually meeting everyone's expectations, and also making his father proud.
Some may argue that performing well in the development league is enough to start hyping? Please, Brownie is just a second-round pick at No. 55, and he has only recently turned 20. It's already quite exciting to see him making an impact in the G League.
If Brownie can continue this wild growth, it's believed that he will become a rotation player for the Lakers in the future, regardless of whether James is still with the Purple and Gold at that time.
Speaking of the Lakers, their record has quietly climbed to fifth in the West. Last season at the same stage, they were ninth in the West with a record of 16 wins and 15 losses. They have now left their city rivals, the Clippers, behind, with both teams having records of 18 wins and 13 losses.
It's worth noting that the Lakers have completed a 4-0 sweep against the Kings this season. Anthony Davis' career record against Sabonis is now 4-1, compared to a previous record of 0 wins and 10 losses.
On the other hand, the Kings have not changed their ways after changing coaches. After losing to the Lakers, they suffered a six-game losing streak. Their current record is 13 wins and 19 losses, ranking 12th in the West. Last season at the same stage, their record was 19 wins and 13 losses, placing them fifth in the West.
If things continue like this, the Kings might consider Flag for the 25th draft.
As for Fox, he might as well stay in the away court of Los Angeles instead of returning to Sacramento. There was news that the Lakers were planning to trade three first-round picks for a third star.
In fact, the Lakers don't necessarily need to make a trade because it seems that the third star is already on the team.
Who could it be? Of course, it's Reeves, who has averaged 20.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 1 steal in the last seven games, with shooting percentages of 45.2%, 38.8%, and 82.9%.
Reeves signed a four-year, 53.83millioncontractwiththeLakerslastoffseason,withanaverageannualsalaryofonlyover10 million, which can be considered a bargain.
Undoubtedly, under Redick's coaching this season, the Lakers are performing much better than last season under Ham, with fewer unexpected issues. At least so far, there haven't been any reports of internal conflicts.
Perhaps this is related to the close friendship between James and Redick. The two used to often talk about life on podcast shows, from poetry and the distance to island country erotic movies...
