The Sea Kings' reimbursement at the beginning of the season directly announced the Grizzlies' internal shortage this season. Due to Biyombo's outstanding performance in the Suns' playoffs last season, the Grizzlies signed him to enrich the interior, which gave the Grizzlies 16 official contracts;
Now that the Paladin is about to leave the ban position, it also means that the Grizzlies must lay off one person. And this person is the 1.98 meter tall and stocky big man - Little Fatty Lofton...
Although it has not been implemented, it is just a unilateral revelation by Grizzlies team reporter Damichael Cole, but it is still a certainty. .
To be honest, many people really like this flexible little fat guy! Although he is short, he can spin. Although he is round, he has quite a lot of skills.
is proficient in three-pointers and low-post singles. Against centers that rely on static talents but soft play, or spiders like Wenban and Chet, playing Lofton can really work wonders!
Take the game against the Trail Blazers last month as an example. He directly snatched Dun Bao's layup in the air, then turned around and shot Dun Bao with a three-pointer!
For a player with a weight of 136 kilograms, Xiaopang clearly expressed his ability to use strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Another little knowledge about the NBA. The heaviest players in the league last season were Boban Marjanovic and Nurkic (290 pounds, about 131.5 kilograms), which means Lofton ranks first in the league. weight! ! !
In the game against the Celtics last month, Lofton hit the basket as if he was going to dismantle the basketball hoop.
However, with Biyombo playing well this season, Lofton did not have many opportunities to play. So far this season, he has played 15 games as a substitute, averaging 2.6 points, 1 rebound and 0.9 assists in 6.6 minutes per game.
The reason why Lofton is well-known is that in addition to having many positive conversations with the No. 1 draft pick before his debut in the NBA, there is also the impressive final game of last season's regular season!
In the game against the Thunder, Lofton started for 40 minutes and made 17 of 25 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 8 of 12 free throws, and scored 42 points and 14 rebounds (both career highs in points and rebounds).
That was Lofton’s first start in his NBA career. His explosive performance also made him the first player in NBA history (the league started counting starting games since the 1970-71 season) to score at least one goal in his first start. A player with 40 points and 10 rebounds!
At the same time, Lofton was the MVP of the Development League last season!
This can't help but think of Sika and Van Jordan. Both of them were players from the Development League, and now they have big contracts in their respective teams.
It is reported that many teams are already willing to offer contracts to Lofton. I hope that the little fat guy who leaves Memphis will have more opportunities to shine in his little world!
