With a confident look in his eyes, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope stepped up to shoot the technical-foul free throw for the Lakers in the second quarter of their home opener against the Houston Rockets at Staples Center on Saturday night.
It was that kind of night for him and it’s been that way for Caldwell-Pope from the exhibition season through his first two games with the Lakers.
His offense has not quite caught up to his solid defense, his shots betraying him seemingly at every turn.
“My role is pretty much how I built my career,” Caldwell-Pope said.
