“What you miss with Avery is having Avery and KCP out there at the same time: the depth. But KCP has been one of the brightest parts of our season. He had a terrific stretch, in particular that time when Avery was out,” Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said.
“After a little bit of a slow start, really being one of the leaders on our team in playing harder than the opponent. The hustle, the intensity, changing ends of the floor, and then the shot making he exhibited during that stretch and most of the season, was a huge reason for our record. We need two-way guys that play both ends of the floor.
“With his shot making ability and able to make plays off the bounce, as well as what he brings on the defensive end, he’s been a big part of our success this year.”
While there could be games where our lack of depth as a result of losing Bradley could hurt us, KCP is more than an able replacement as our starting point guard. His solid defense, excellent playmaking, and elite 3-point shooting makes our starting lineup an even better fit for LeBron James.
