The 2024 NBA Draft is officially over, it should be said that the Lakers have gained a lot this time, first using the first round No. 17 pick to select Dalton Knecht, this is a top scorer, 1.98 meters tall, averaged 21.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game during college, shooting 45.8% from the field, and 39.7% from three-point range, Knecht was originally expected to be the top 10 pick, but he was not selected until the 17th pick, according to reports, Knecht's pick fell because he was 23 years old, The league thinks he's a late bloomer, but he's still a young man at this age, and congratulations to the Lakers for successfully picking up the leak, Knecht is definitely better than Schiffino.

Then came the 55th pick, the Lakers selected Bronny, that is, James's son, according to NBA big data statistics, James and Bronny became the first father-son duo in history to play together on the same team, after learning that Bronny was selected by the Lakers, James was also very excited, and the Lakers official also specially updated social media, writing: "Welcome to the Purple and Gold." "With the help of Lao Zhan, there is no doubt that Bronny will get some playing time in the new season. The Lakers' reinforcement operation didn't end there, and after drafting Knekert and Bronny, the Lakers also signed Amel Traore and Blake Simson on two two-way contracts.

Traore is French, with a height of 2.03 meters, can play the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, although he is only 21 years old this year, but Traore has played in the French Basketball League for 5 years, averaging 10.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game last season, and also played for the Green Army some time ago. It's a pity that Traore was ultimately defeated, and the Lakers signed him on a two-way contract, valuing Traore's defensive ability and athleticism, in terms of technology, Traore is a little rough, has fewer scoring means, and his projection is unstable, but his defense is very good, and he is also active in grabbing rebounds, which is still very suitable for the Lakers, and Blake Hinson, another undrafted pick, can be called a monster.

Xinsen has also tried out for many teams, and the evaluation given is generally very good, but Xinson is 23 years old, so he was finally defeated, the American media believes that Xinson definitely has the strength to compete in the NBA, because his physical talent is quite good, 203cm tall, 107 kilograms, can run and jump, play positively, and averaged 13.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game during college, and last season averaged 18.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, with a shooting rate of 45.4%, With a 42.1 percent three-point shooting percentage, Hinson is an all-around scorer who has set a three-point record, statistically making 110 three-pointers in 33 games at the University of Pittsburgh, breaking the franchise record for three-point shooting in a single season.

The important thing is not only to shoot, Hinson also has good singles ability, impact basket layups, jump shots, throws, these scoring means he occasionally uses, in general, Hinson has no shortcomings in offense, and it is relatively stable, the Lakers can sign him with a two-way contract is definitely earned, Pelinka also has a high evaluation of Hinsson, thinking that he is an underrated player. 23 years old is actually not too big, first of all, this age is still young, secondly, this age still has a broad upside, Xinsen is the best at playing the No. 3 position, there are almost no slots on the defensive end, the body is strong, can attack and defend, very good.

In terms of honors, Hinson was selected for the 22-23 NCB Second Team and the 23-24 NCB First Team, and is one of the best power forwards in the NCB. Of course, Hinson also has shortcomings, he is not a good passer, although Hinson has good ball handling skills, but he only uses these skills to create opportunities for himself, not for others, but in the Lakers, the most important thing for a forward player is to shoot and defend well, or occasionally impact the inside, with Hinson's style of play can be perfectly adapted to the Lakers.

To sum up, we found that the quality of the Lakers' draft this time is still good, the 17th pick Knecht has outstanding scoring ability, the two undrafted picks, Traore can defend and grab rebounds, and Hinson integrates offense and defense, and shoots top-notch. Bronny, who came with the 55th pick, is not sure to disappoint the Lakers, and Redick has reportedly made plans for Bronny to develop him into an elite-level offensive and defensive player. Of course, if the Lakers want to go further in the new season, it is definitely not enough to rely on the existing lineup, they still have to find a way to strengthen, Russell can't play a tough game and it is better to trade it, if they can exchange Dejounte Murray and sign a blue-collar insider, I believe the Lakers' strength will be greatly improved.
