The Los Angeles Lakers made a few moves before the trade deadline on Thursday. This includes bringing in sharpshooter Luke Kennard.

Kennard’s spot-up shooting ability should fit perfectly next to LeBron James and Luka Doncic. This, Austin Reaves agrees with.

“I think he fills something we need. In three-point shooting,” Reaves said. “One of the best three-point shooters in the league. From what I’ve heard, he’s an ultra competitor. So I can’t wait to get him in the building and compete with him.”

If Kennard can live up to expectations, the Lakers will be a tough opponent for any team in the playoffs.
