He actually has a three-pointer! Will the Lakers substitute center become a potential space-type insider?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Golden State Warriors, who played at home, successfully defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 111-103. After this game, the Warriors got a good start in the preseason; while the Lakers suffered two consecutive losses in the preseason, and two miserable losses.

In this game, the Lakers' substitute center Christian Koloko performed well. Kroko played 10 minutes and 34 seconds in the game, made 1 of 1 shot, 1 of 1 from the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, with a plus-negative value of +14. Kroko's playing time is actually very limited. He didn't get much chance to make a phone shot on the offensive end, but he hit a three-pointer, proving that he is a potential pitcher. Kroko's performance on the defensive end is also quite standard, and he can still use his advantages in physical talent and athletic ability to cause some trouble for his opponents. Facing the opponent's average third or even fourth lineup, Kroko's performance seemed quite calm. The overall situation of the team was also quite good when he was on the court, and he also helped the team recover a lot of points. However, the performance of the team's starters is really not ideal, and Kroko's efforts cannot help the team recover the defeat.

In the NBA regular season last season, Kroko played 37 times for the Lakers in 82 games, averaging 9.2 minutes per game, averaging 2.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.3 turnovers and 1.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 60.6% and a free throw percentage of 71.4%. In the NBA Development League last season, Kroko played 12 times for the Lakers' subordinate team, Nanwan Lakers, with averaging 29.6 minutes per game, with averaging 14.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 3.2 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 3.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 54.5%, his three-point shooting percentage was 17.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 73.3%. In the previous NBA summer league, Kroko played 5 times for the Lakers, averaging 17.5 minutes per game, averaging 7.2 points, 4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.6 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 57.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 20%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 55.6%.

In the previous game where the team lost to the Phoenix Suns, Kroko's performance was a bit average. He shot 0 of 1 shot in 9 minutes and 53 seconds, did not score 1 point in the game, and only contributed 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. He also had 4 turnovers and 6 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -5. In the previous game, Kroko made various mistakes on the offensive end and made various fouls on the defensive end, but did not perform at his level. However, it seems that he adjusted his condition relatively quickly. He did not play on the offensive end in this game, and also controlled his foul on the defensive end. He also hit a three-pointer, which made everyone's eyes even more lit. If Kloko can continue to display his own characteristics in outside shooting, considering that the other two Lakers' inside players do not have this talent, he actually has the opportunity to launch an opportunity to attack the position of a rotation lineup.
