The Lakers young forward line! The camera analyzes Laravia s defensive characteristics and defensive footsteps

The Lakers' first signing this summer was to sign Jack Laravia for 2 years and $12 million. He averaged 20.4 minutes per game last season, scoring 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 steals, shooting 47.5% from the field and 42.3% from three-pointers. Giving up DFS for him made many Lakers fans feel that they are losing money.

So how is Laravia's defense?

After seeing Antetokounmpo start, he came directly to make up for the block

When defending the defender, he relied on the offensive man to control his body's center of gravity, and then completed the block

singles to defend Tatum, eat and live first to fight, then take the kick, then defend the ball, defend the ball, and then attack the ball, and defend the ball, and the two scenes can completely cover his defensive characteristics. He is good at stealing the center of gravity, and the defense is fast. The speed of going around is also very fast. He directly steals Jokic in one round. He suddenly goes around and completes the steal in one round. As a 23-year-old young forward, he is definitely incomparable to a veteran like DFS, and he still needs to learn and improve. However, as a forward, he can defend from 1 to 4, and even have a period of time against Jokic. Although his explosiveness and physical talent are not top-notch, relying on his defensive awareness and defensive speed, and being able to quickly interfere with his opponents is his defensive characteristic.
