Since his comeback, Munch's performance has been too shiny, as an offseason signing a base salary with the Lakers, he has played a star-level performance in 6 games after his comeback and has become a good helper around James. According to the data, Munch has more than 20 points in four of his last six games, averaging 20.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2 assists per game, shooting 56.6 percent from the field and averaging 3.3 three-pointers per game on the perimeter, shooting 45.5 percent. In the past 6 games, when he appeared on the court, the team's plus-minus was as high as +10.7, which was the first in the team and better than James.
In Davis' injured absence and Westbrook's unstable form, Munch became James' best helper. The player, who is known as the "microwave oven" by the outside world, has felt very good in the past period of time, and he plays very confidently, dares to make moves in the game, and has a high success rate on the outside. At key moments in the game, Munch was also able to step up and hit a shot against defense.
Overall, in the last 6 games, Munch's performance has been phenomenal, he has played far better than his own value, and in the Lakers lineup, he plays a very important role, James's right-hand man. While the Lakers have been able to achieve a record of 4 wins and 2 losses in the past 6 games, Munch's play is crucial.
I believe many fans know that before playing for the Lakers, Munch played for the Hornets for four seasons, although he had a very good performance in the game, but because the Hornets have selected a lot of very talented young guards in the draft in the past few seasons, and these players are above Munch. For the sake of the team's rebuilding plans, they also gave up Munch and did not choose to complete a contract extension with him in the offseason.
After being abandoned by the Hornets, Munch was also selected to sign a base salary with the Lakers, hoping to prove himself again in the big market team. And it turns out that Munch's choice is no problem, and when he comes to the More Concerned Lakers, Munch showed his own value in the game and played his talent on the offensive end.
In this season, although Munch has had a very sluggish performance, but most of the time, Munch's performance has not disappointed the team, whether as a starter or a substitute, Munch appeared in the game, he was able to complete the score, personal state is very good. When he is in the game, the team's offensive efficiency will be higher, and more players can score, which to a certain extent shares the pressure of the main players and makes the team's attack more outstanding. At this stage, Munch has become an indispensable player in the Lakers' five small lineups, and he is also a stable offensive strong point of the team and a good helper around James.
With consecutive efficient performances in the game, this has increased Munch's popularity and popularity to some extent, and if he can maintain it, the Lakers can not only achieve a good record this season. After the end of the base salary contract, Munch is also expected to get a higher salary contract.
