Advantages:
1. Defend against the ball. Lupell’s exaggerated arm show made him have the potential from 1 to 3. He is good at using long arms to constantly interfere with opponents and put pressure on them. Lupell moves quickly and flexibly, and can quickly bypass the cover. Lupell has strong defensive continuity and sensitive sense of smell, and can cooperate well with teammates to complete team defense. When there is no ball defense, he will actively interfere with the passing route and will also look for opportunities to put pressure on the ball holder.
2. Near the end of the basket. Lupell feels soft near the basket, and both left and right hands can finish the end on RIM. Lupell has a large stride and can break into the forbidden zone from any direction. Although he is not skilled enough to control the ball, he has the ability to complete a one-stop Dragon and also uses European steps and other skills. LV peler was smart and could easily steal scores under the basket with his body and feel.
3. Transmission and control potential. The performance of lupell in the block and tear-down was amazing. He could quickly get out of the ball and give it to his downstream teammates or find a space at the far end, which proved that he had the potential to be the flank of the organization. Lupell has a clear thinking in the conversion and can cooperate with his teammates to complete the fast attack of many people.
Disadvantages:
1. Unstable projection. Lupell shot higher, but the projection was not stable, and most of the shots were short. Lupell would be empty on the three-point line, but he rarely hit these shots, which affected him to attack the penalty area. Lupell’s performance is even worse when he holds the ball. The fengshui ball shot is not smooth and the shooting choice is not good. He likes to turn around and lean back. He lacks fake actions and can hardly rely on individuals to create offensive opportunities.
2. Insufficient confrontation. Lupell lacks strength. When facing a strong opponent under the basket, he often chooses ways such as emergency stop, throwing, European step and anti-basket to avoid physical confrontation, this affected his end efficiency and the number of times he stood on freethrow line.
3. Defensive and aggressive. Lupell is sometimes too aggressive in defense, resulting in unnecessary fouls. His gambling defense sometimes leads to the collapse of defense. Lupell needs to be more patient in NBA-level games, which is conducive to his potential.
Summary:
Lupell was born in a basketball family. His father was a former member of the French national team. His sister was selected by WNBA in December 2021. Lupell has excellent physical condition. He has proved himself to be an excellent defender in NBL, and his upper limit will depend on his attack level. Lupell showed his organizational potential on the offensive end, but his personal attack threat was very small, and the outside shooting was also very unstable, which required the team to spend time and long-term training. Before that, lupell needed to strengthen himself first. Many of his problems came from the lack of confrontation. It is worth mentioning that lupell suffered a wrist fracture in early November and was absent for two months, which affected his performance to some extent.
