He\u2019s moved around, starting with Detroit, then playing for the LA Clippers, the Memphis Grizzlies and the Atlanta Hawks before being traded to the Lakers just before the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Kennard\u2019s singular gift is hitting shots \u2013 he\u2019s leading the NBA in three point percentage at 49.7% \u2013 and since he\u2019s playing for Duke legend JJ Redick, he has a coach who knows exactly what to do with that.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Redick said in an interview he sent Kennard some Lakers plays and schemes to get used to and that while a lot of guys wouldn\u2019t bother, he was pretty sure Kennard would.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Maybe he did, because he nailed his first shot and got 10 points in his first appearance in purple and gold. L.A. is still transitioning from the LeBron James era to the Luka Doncic era and spacing is a big deal. Kennard can certainly provide that \u2013 and professionalism as well.<\/p>\n<p> Go to the DBR Boards to find Blue Healer Auctions |  <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/mailto:jdking@mindspring.com\" data-ylk=\"slk:Drop us a line;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Drop us a line<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luke Kennard has been in the NBA for a little more than a third of his life now,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592371,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3790],"tags":[208,7,160,296,32192,164,1661,4034,192,1698,300,4044,185,251,150,4033,4043,368,1171,4164,177,6,3209],"class_list":{"0":"post-592370","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-lakers","8":"tag-atlanta-hawks","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-detroit","12":"tag-gary-a-vasquez-imagn","13":"tag-golden-state-warriors","14":"tag-jj-redick","15":"tag-la","16":"tag-la-clippers","17":"tag-la-lakers","18":"tag-lakers","19":"tag-lalakers","20":"tag-lebron-james","21":"tag-los-angeles","22":"tag-los-angeles-lakers","23":"tag-losangeles","24":"tag-losangeleslakers","25":"tag-luka-doncic","26":"tag-luke-kennard","27":"tag-mandatory-credit","28":"tag-memphis-grizzlies","29":"tag-nba","30":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116040507340789195","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592370\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
