The importance of the three-pointer in the small-ball era is self-evident, and the three-pointer is a very threatening offensive tool. Most players in the NBA can shoot three-pointers, and a player can shoot many three-pointers in a game, and can make 10 or even 15 shots in a single game. The player this article is going to talk about is a sharpshooter, and a player hitting 8 three-pointers in one game is not terrible, the terrible thing is that he only used 9 shots. Our protagonist Kennard scored 25 points in just 23 minutes to beat the Rockets today, hitting 8 of 8 of nine three-pointers and being horribly efficient. Before today's game, Kennard averaged 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and was a pretty good shooter.
Kennard was on the floor with a strong offensive threat. He's shooting accurately, especially in the catch, and this season he's shot nearly 44 percent from three-point range, in the league's top 5. He also averaged more than two three-point shots per game. Kennard is an important firepower point and three-point shooter for the team, and he can open up space for the team as long as he is on the field, providing super restraint. Opponents never dared to give Kennard any chance, and today the young Rockets paid tuition, and their defense was completely dissected by Kennard. Kennard's every shot and every run was just right, and the Rockets' young players were out of reach.
Kennard's performance Clippers fans see in their eyes, Kennard now played so well Clippers fans must be very happy, at that time to get kennad Clippers to pay the price was not very high. In November 2020, the Clippers first traded with the Nets, sending Shamet out of the first round of the Nets' No. 19. The signing was then sent to the Pistons for Kennard.
Before being traded, Kennard actually played well in the Pistons, with nearly 16+4+4 statistics per game, and after coming to the Clippers, Kennard and the team seamlessly connected and became a very important member on the bench. It is worth mentioning that Kennard will participate in the three-point game of this season's NBA All-Star Game, and in his current hot state, Kennard is the favorite for three-point contest champions.
In addition to his excellent three-point shooting ability, Kennard also has some offensive means that are underestimated. Kennard is not a simple shooter, he has a very good ball-holding offensive ability at Duke University, and he has also shown excellent ball-holding offensive standards in the Pistons. He can break through with the ball or make a snap shot, or he can initiate an organization, and he is a trustworthy player. So in the case of George and Leonard injured, the Clippers' offensive firepower was not reduced and Kenard was directly related. Kennard can bring a very obvious offensive boost to the team, and Kennard is also a player with a high ball quotient. Kennard has no outstanding physical talent, plays by his brain, and his game reading comprehension ability is already better than most players in the league.
Kennard has currently played 5 seasons. In these 5 seasons, Kennard has only had 2 seasons without shooting more than 40% from three-point range, and his career-low one-year three-point shooting rate has reached 39.4%, which is higher than Curry's three-point shooting rate this season. This kind of top scorer is definitely an important chip on the team's road to the championship. The Clippers really made a lot of money getting Kennard, and we must admit that the Clippers' selection of people is indeed unique, and Kennard has also ushered in the peak of his career in the Clippers.
