Overview
- Los Angeles ranks 26th in three-point accuracy and last in makes, with only 32.7 attempts per game.
- After a win over the Jazz with 26% from deep, Redick told players they are “one of the worst” right now and must shoot with confidence.
- James said he is not worried and expects percentages to normalize as the team continues generating open looks.
- Rui Hachimura is hitting 48.3% from three, while primary creators Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are at 31.1%, below last season’s marks.
- Redick cited last year’s midseason practice adjustment that preceded a shooting uptick, as the Lakers lean on paint scoring, free throws and defense to win.
