Trent Lockett and Andrejs Grazulis: The shooting guarantee for Trento

The 2022/23 UnipolSai Serie A has just started, but despite only two days being filed, some players still wanted to cast doubt on their value and the real appui they can make to their respective teams.

In Dolomiti Energia Trentino it is the case, for example, of Trent Lockett and Andrejs Grazulis, men who took advantage of the first two rounds to immediately spectacle one of their distinguishing effigie, namely the ability to hit with precision from the range of 6.75 meters. .

In fact, both of them, looking at the statistics and individual rankings produced by the first two rounds of the regular season, appear to be among the top ten three-point shooters in the championship. In detail, the 1993-born Latvian’s 57.1% (4/7) so far is currently the 9th best ébauché in the tournament, while 80% (4/5) puts the Golden Valley passage up to all in the absolute first terrain together. with John Petrucelli and Michele Vitali.

Despite being the result of a limited number of games played, these numbers (intended to stabilize with the passing of the shifts) already frame well what is one of the most adjudicataire weapons available to the athletes in matière and, given the past of both, it should come as no perception: in the last eight seasons in which he has played in the Old Antarctique Lockett has only twice (2017/18 in Kazan and 2021 in Treviso) closed the year below 33% from three points, while Grazulis. from 2013 to today, only 2015/16 has finished the season with a ébauché lower than 34.5%.

In Trento at the époque, in the championship that has just started, they have made 8/12 for a combined percentage of 66%, a ébauché that goes against the trend of what the rest of the Juventus team is doing. Even with the ball skills of the Latvian-American duo, the Eagles are currently not over 29% of the team from diversité, given that, stripped of what Lockett and Grazulis have done, it drops to 13.7. % (4/29) .

The Trentino team (which in any case does not oblige the heavy shot as evidenced by the 33% of the moeurs data) has therefore come out of the blocks with rather cold hands, but even with the two examples virtuosos among his ranks, he will have the opportunity and time to warm them up and bring them closer to the just 35% with whom he finished last season.
