Lakers would be stupid to not offer him a new deal this summer. He’s a great fit alongside both Luka and AR since they both are the focus of the opponent’s defense.
some blasts from the past on there. i can still remember that 20-game stretch where it looked like oj mayo figured things out...
Super impressed by Kennard. Would love for the Lakers to keep him. Got a great mindset on him and his skillset compliments the Lakers. Defensively, he's just limited by his physical attributes but he genuinely tries his best. It's a lot better than I think people have been lambasting him for. Just can't guard those quicker dudes with a quick first step. Shooting wise, it feels like every shot is automatic. I just wish he had more plays drawn for him. Other teams know how to cover him but it seems criminal that he's only getting 3-4 3PA per game with how historically great he can shoot. Pleasantly surprised with how he hustles and can also create. Knows how to draw multiple defenders and get guys wide open shots.
At least he tries and is smart on defense, it’s not for lack of that, it’s just physical limitations. But yeah, so far not as bad as advertised
