[Highlight] Luka throws a fastball to Kennard for the open 3
having someone who can hit open 3s is so nice
Gabe 100% pump fakes for no reason before driving only to kick it back out to Luka again
Gabriel Vincent was the GOAT at the pumpfake into drive with no intention of attempting a layup
Maybe the curse has been lifted
nah fast forward to the playoffs and we’ll see him shoot 30% from 3
still better than most of our team
Luke can also pump fake and drive into the rim. He’s surprisingly effective driving to the basket.
It’s still crazy to me that LA picked him up so cheaply. He’s going to find himself open a lot during the playoffs.
LA still needed to add a defensive big. But it will be interesting to see how far they can go
Luke Kennard has found a really nice fit in LA
He really did. He fits right in and his defense isn’t half as bad as his reputation would suggest
Our defense is so bad that even bad defenders from the rest of the league are an upgrade lol
Nah I think he’s just passable
I think when your center is bad it just makes perimeter players job much harder to defend.
If you had gobert at the center…. Lakers would be very good
Someone like wemby would really help the lakers
While DA in theory and sometimes in practice is a above average starting center, 37 year old Brook Lopez would have been amazing for this team. Lebron and Austin communicate well, Marcus Smart is still a decent, smart defender. Luka rebounds well. The rotations would be hella slow, but they would be correct.
He slides his feet and has really good acceleration. He doesn’t have crazy long arms like other wings but he has the motor to chase and keep attackers honest.
Wild pass, Jesus
This mf passing ahead of the defender getting juked by the dive.
Luka Magic
Luke Magic
Insane pass
There was a little run on that fastball too.
Think the Dodgers sign him next?
we might have to defer a small portion of his contract, but i think we can make it happen. /s
Right in the pocket.
Insane
Not only pinpoint passing but fooled the defense with his eyes and hand movement
Most players like to gather their shot from the off hand to their shooting hand.
I’m not convinced Luka didn’t account for this and the fact Kennard is a leftie.
OT: Being a German, how do you guys like your new backup point guard?
Oh Dennis is a dawg. He’s been good for us especially when both Don and James were out. He brings tenacity, energy, and ball handling everything we needed. He’s been toughing through an injury too.
Love to hear it. Great team you guys put together.
Jax really thought it was his ball for a sec there
Ready to get the ball it’s a good thing for him
Anyone else remember how much of a beast Kennard was in college? That duke team was his team & he played with Tatum
As a griz fan I won’t be heartbroken again
