Explosive! A flawless 100% shooting accuracy! Lakers' legendary blockbuster signing

The Lakers returned home and beat the Raptors, who are fourth in the East, by 110-93.

Raptors' statistics are as follows:

Lakers' statistics are as follows:

Ayton’s performance was truly impressive,making all 10 of his shots for a perfect 100% accuracy, tallying 25 points and 13 rebounds for a double-double.This achievement places him alongside franchise greats like O'Neal in 2003, Kupchak in 1981, and Chamberlain in 1969.

If this guy can maintain such an efficient scoring rate in the future, the Lakers will be dreaming with a smile.

So far this season, Ayton has started all 36 games, averaging 29.5 minutes, contributing 14.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1 block per game, with a shooting percentage of 68.9%, ranking second in the league only behind Gobert (71.3%). However, his defensive rating of 177.2 as a center ranks a disappointing 249th in the league.

Of course, the Lakers as a whole don’t have many players with impressive defensive ratings, except former DPOY Smart (109.8, ranked 83rd).

Data shows thatthe Lakers are allowing an average of 116.7 points per game this season, ranking 18th in the league, with a defensive efficiency of 117.4, placing them fifth from the bottom.Their poor defense has led many to doubt their chances of topping the league this season.

Back to Ayton, last offseason the 2018 first overall pick reached a buyout agreement with the Trail Blazers and joined the Lakers on a bargain two-year $16.6 million deal, quickly becoming the undisputed starting interior core for the Purple and Gold. However, he holds a player option this summer which allows him to decline and become a free agent early.

Because of this, Ayton’s strong performance might worry the Lakers, as there could be tempting offers from other teams willing to pay a high price to lure him away during the offseason, and no one would turn down more money.

Notably, Reaves can also opt out this summer to become an unrestricted free agent, qualifying for a potential five-year max extension with the Lakers worth up to $240 million, or he could sign a four-year max deal worth around $185 million with another team; LeBron’s situation is even more straightforward as this is his contract year.

Cherish this season with the Lakers’ star-studded roster, as all good things must eventually come to an end.
