LeBron James pointed out this weakness from the first matches and the figures confirm it over the weeks: the Lakers are the worst team in the league at 3-pts, with a small 29% success rate in this exercise.
The franchise is therefore looking for solutions and it can go through reinforcement on the market of free players. A few days after meeting Moe Harkless, journalist Shams Charania teaches us that the Lakers tested Joe Wieskamp and Tony Snell.
On paper, it’s not very sexy. Especially for the first, who played the first season of his career in San Antonio in 2021/2022, without achieving great performances since he averaged only 2.1 points.
On the other hand, the second already has more references. Tony Snell, a great traveler since leaving Milwaukee in 2019, is a winger who regularly flirts with 40% success at 3-pts, in addition to being useful in defense.
Last season, he started with Portland before being integrated into the transfer of CJ McCollum and finishing on a high note in New Orleans, with 5.9 points on average off the bench.
