Not long ago, the Warriors made a trade with the Heat, which caused a stir in the league. Wiggins swapped teams with Butler, who has played two games for the Warriors so far, and he has been outstanding in both games. And along with Wiggins, there was also Kyle Lee, who also made their debuts with the Heat today. But today the two of them only made 3 of 17 shots combined, and the shooting effect was not good.
Wiggins played 30 minutes today and had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 3-of-12 shooting, while Lee Kyle came off the bench to score 0-of-5 shooting and only grabbed 3 rebounds. In fact, this is why the Warriors chose to trade Kyle Lee, in fact, he has been abandoned by Kerr during his time with the Warriors. Because he really doesn't have the ability to shoot on the court, he can't open up space. And the so-called defensive ability is not particularly prominent, because it seems that his defensive movement speed is not dominant when switching some flexible defenders.
Li Kaier has previously played international games for the Chinese men's basketball team, and he once scored 22 points and 5 rebounds in a single game against South Sudan. And now that he has returned to the NBA, his weakness has been exposed again, and opponents will not expand at all when defending him, and will choose to let him shoot. And when he plays inside, he doesn't have an absolute physical advantage. So his role in the NBA is to string the ball and defend. But at present, many teams in the NBA do not need him to connect.
In fact, the Warriors are a team that is very suitable for him, because the Warriors are very particular about passing the ball, but if he can't survive in a team like the Warriors, maybe his living space is very narrow in the future, and he may not be able to adapt well in the Heat. Because the Heat's style of play seems simpler, they can't play his passing ability. On the contrary, in a team like the Heat, he needs to be involved on the offensive end. But his shooting ability is very bad. It is possible that as the season progresses, he will gradually lose the trust of his coach.
So it comes down to a series of consequences of his poor shooting ability, and if you play in the NBA if your shooting ability is very bad, it is really difficult to survive, unless you have one of your strengths that is at the top of the league. And it is clear that there is no one ability to reach the top level. Therefore, it is very good for Li Kaier to be able to play such statistics on behalf of the Chinese men's basketball team, and he is not a player who is good at offense. If the Chinese men's basketball team wants to choose naturalized players in the future, it is still necessary to naturalize some players with very strong individual offensive ability as much as possible, and that type of player seems to be more able to solve the problem. I wonder what the fans think?
