JaVale McGee had an interview a few weeks ago saying Luke doesn’t incorporate shooting 3s in scrimmages. In fact, Luke incorporated a rule in Lakers practices where layups and dunks are worth more points than 3-point baskets. So naturally players don’t take that many 3s during Lakers practice.

So then, why the hell is this team taking almost 30 three-pointers a game? If you’re not practicing it on your own practices, why shoot so many?

Either Lakers start shooting less 3s or Luke better start incorporating 3s in practices so his players can start getting used to making them.

They have actually been shooting it well outside of a couple games.

Is this why Ingram is allergic to 3s, makes sense

Helton would at least make a good OC though.

Could explain why Svi in was super hot from 3 under Miles Simon in SL, but since then can’t even hit a wide open 3.

All their 3p percentage are down significantly from last season.

I think you naturally gravitate towards the 3 if you get a broken play. A lot of times we have no choice but to shoot the three. Better if Luke can find us more ways to get an easy shot. What happened to those out of timeout shots for a shooter that we saw last year? I know we did that for KCP a lot last year when he was shooting better. I mean the team isn't completely awful at threes, you got to still incorporate it.

Byron used to hate 3s. I'd be surprised if Luke has same archaic thinking.

it's absurd that you blame the coach for this team's lack of 3pt shooting.

I don't think that is so. Hart, Svi, and Zo are seen shooting threes. Also, Ingram and Lance. And that's at practice.

So, all those Lakers Nation videos, showing the team going through 3 point shooting drills, and competitions with the coaching staff, and other players, was all some big lie, to fool the masses!!! NOOOOOOOOooooooooo.......

I actually remember that interview, I think it was Acces Sportsnet. McGee was praising Josh Hart and it kind of segued to Lakers practices with Hart being one of the players with most point total for always taking it to the rim based on how Lakers practices gives out more points for finishing near the basket.

That's more Byron Scott then Byron Scott ever was, oddly impressive in a way
