While Ayton definitely deserves credit for converting on his chances, so does Luka for creating them.

On the season, Ayton’s TS% with Luka on the floor is a crazy 72.5% When he’s off, it drops to 66%
DeAndre Ayton is currently posting career-highs in:

Points per shot attempt
True shooting %
2pt fg% (69.2%)
Midrange fg% (62)
Percent of shots he is assisted on

Lakers are also a +8.2 when he’s been on the floor with Luka and Austin.

After their hot start, the Lakers’ offensive rating has dropped to 16th.

They also are last in wide open 3’s generated per game and transition frequency. The fact that their record is still solid is encouraging, but they have to be dominant/get easier looks on offense to have a chance this year.

Tomorrow will be 20 years since Eddie Guerrero died.

I wrote about Eddie, existing in memories and between spaces, and about searching for things that aren't there.

He’s a rookie and has to jump a ton of people to even get minutes, but Thiero theoretically could help a lot with what the team lacks.

Despite Luka Dončić only playing in four games and LeBron yet to suit up, the Lakers have the 2nd best halfcourt offense and are surging.

For @lakerssbn.bsky.social, I wrote
about how their historic start in the midrange has largely been the reason why.
