In a recent postgame interview, Tyronn Lue was asked, “How many more premier three-point shooters do you think there are in the league?”
His answer was 10. Shortly thereafter, the Clippers’ head coach boldly claimed that of those 10, Luke Kennard is tenth.
That wasn’t necessarily a knock on the Duke product’s three-point game — if anything, it was a demand that he takes more shots. Lue added:
“[Kennard] turns down too many shots... [but] if we’re going based on makes, he’s one of the top guys.”
And Lue is right: Kennard is indeed one of the league’s smoothest, most lethal shooters from long range.
