The Lakers new "No. 1 pick" is about to come back, but he may find it difficult to get his playing time in the new season

The Athletic Los Angeles Lakers reporter Dan Woike talked about the situation of the Lakers' second round pick Adou Thiero in this year's NBA Draft. Tyro had to miss the entire summer league game due to a leg injury he suffered during his last season at Arkansas. However, Woike also said that Tyro has recovered from the injury and has appeared in the Lakers' training hall to start some simple training and is expected to achieve a full recovery before the start of training camp.

Woike believes that considering that the Lakers are currently in the forward and wing positions, it seems not easy for Tyro to immediately get a lot of playing time and stabilize a rotation lineup position in this situation. However, Woike also said that after all, Tyro has very good physical talent and athletic ability, and he can also play a significant role in the defensive end. His characteristics are actually what the Lakers need more. If he can quickly prove his worth to the team coaching staff during training camp, he still has the opportunity to launch a rotation quota.

Tiro was born in May 2004 and is 21 years old. He is the Lakers' 36th pick in the second round in this year's NBA Draft. According to data from the joint trial test session before and before the draft, Tyro's naked foot was 198.8cm, his wingspan was 213.4cm, his standing height was 265.4cm, and his weight was 99.1kg. In the NCAA game last season, Tyro, who transferred from the University of Kentucky to join the University of Arkansas, made a total of 27 games, averaged 27.5 minutes per game, averaged 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds (1.8 frontcourt rebounds), 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks, and had 1.7 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 54.5% from the field (5.1/9.4), 25.6% from three-pointers (0.4/1.6), and 68.6% from free throws (4.4/6.5).

The Lakers obtained the No. 36 draw and selected Tyro through upward trading in the draft, which also shows that they are still very optimistic about Tyro's ability and future development. Judging from Tyro's performance in the NCAA last season, he is actually not just a defender, he is an all-round player with both offense and defense. He actually has a certain ability to hold the ball and attack the basket on the offensive end, and his role on the defensive end is also quite outstanding. But his stability in outside shooting is still a little worse. If he can do better in shooting, he will also have a chance to gain some playing time with the Lakers.
