The Los Angeles Lakers have been something of a head-scratcher this season.
Despite a 23-14 record and sitting in fifth place in the Western Conference, the team’s long-term success is seemingly in question due to shooting troubles from behind the arc and its mediocrity in defensive efficiency.
Head coach JJ Redick has been vocal about his frustration with the team’s three-point shooting. Following the team’s 124-112 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday, Redick kept it blunt in his post-game press conference, saying, “We can’t make a shot … this has been the theme.”
If the Lakers want to build toward a deep playoff run, they’ll need to find reliable shooters. While they’re expected to be active ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, it seems that the Purple and Gold will look in their backyard first for a potential solution.
