Lakers then and now: after a tougher stretch, the addition of Luke Kennard is helping bolster outside shooting and spacing as the team positions for a sustained push.
Redick explains Kennard starts the blender—creating closeouts and efficient reads—helping the Lakers’ offense move with tempo and unselfish play.
Kennard’s start and recent rhythm translate into improved floor spacing and scoring efficiency for the Lakers, contributing to a positive team dynamic.
Redick emphasizes Kennard’s team-first mindset, noting he hunts for the best shot and benefits every player when the ball moves.
Kennard delivered a career-efficient stretch with 16 points on 6-for-10 shooting and 4-for-7 from three, anchoring a late-phase Lakers effort.
Redick credits the blender concept for generating efficient read-and-react plays and connective offense that links Kennard with teammates like Jake and Smart in crucial moments.
Kennard’s presence helps the Lakers with late-game execution, as evidenced by ATOs and designed plays that maximize his shooting and decision-making.
Kennard’s overall efficiency and playmaking are reinforcing the Lakers’ offense as they navigate a competitive Western Conference landscape.
