When Tyronn Lue was asked about how well Luke Kennard would do in the three-point contest in All-star weekend, he had faith in the second-year Clipper, replying, I think hed do great.Lue does have a point Kennard holds the third-best three-point percentage in the league among players with at least 100 attempts, sinking in an impressive 43.9 percent of his long-range shots. But statistics dont do justice to the sharpshooters complete game. Although smaller and slower than most other players in the league, Kennard can do a lot of damage with the rock in his hands. Hes able to control the pace of the game, running plays and, when needed Norman Powell Jersey, threading the needle with his killer passes in the paint. His greatest asset, however, undoubtedly is his shot. He finishes with ease against taller defenders with his teardrop floaters inside the paint, blows by defenders for in-rhythm mid-range pull-up shots, and is automatic from downtown. And although 93 percent of his three-pointers made are assisted, he can, when necessary, create his own shot most of the time with his crafty dribble move and signature step-back. Lets also not forget how crazy it is that he does all of that as a righty shooting with his non-dominant left hand. BREAKING: luke kennard confirms he will be shooting jumpers right handed this year Trey Gamble September 10, 2021Kennard, as of recent, has been showing more and more how great of a shooter he is: hes averaging 19.8 points on 54.3 percent shooting, 3.3 assists, and 6.0 rebounds this week. He looks more confident with the ball; hes been more aggressive on the offensive end and, in turn, taking better and quicker shots. I mean, scoring seven points in the final nine seconds of a game is not too shabby, right?Luke Kennard for the 3 pt contest? He is feeling it tonight #ClipperNation, came back with a dub. LA Clippers January 26, 2022It will now be the Charlotte Hornets turn to face off against Cool Hand Luke and the Clippers. In this matchup of the West and Easts seventh seeds, keep an eye out for how the Clippers take advantage of the Hornets weak defense. The Hornets, a younger team, do not play with an elite level of defensive cohesion that a tough-defending team like the Clippers does. Not to mention, their starting backcourt of LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier are two players whose defense is definitely not a strength of their game. Add a dynamic duo of Amir Coffey and Kennard into the mix, and the Clippers might have enough to consistently find the bottom of the net. Stopping the Hornets, though, will be of more concern. The team has one of the leagues best offenses, playing a very fast-paced and fun-to-watch type of ball. With players who could drop 20 any given night like Ball, Rozier Custom Jersey, Miles Bridges, and Kelly Oubre Jr., they could be a handful for the Clippers, especially if they get it going early.
