Lakers' Biggest Reinforcement Arrives! 7'2" Tower Develops Three-Point Shot, Impressi
By Reporter Du Yijun / Comprehensive Report

The new season is shaping up for the Los Angeles Lakers, and their superstar Luka Doncic had plenty to say after a recent scrimmage about new frontcourt addition Walker Kessler. Doncic didn't hold back his praise for the 7'2" big man, especially highlighting one thing: Kessler's offensive game has taken a real leap. Sure, everyone knew about his elite rim protection, but now he's added a three-point threat—and that caught Doncic off guard.
"Obviously, he's a fantastic rim protector, but the strides he's made on offense? That's huge for us," Doncic said, sounding genuinely excited about his new partner in the paint.
According to U.S. media reports, during a few informal scrimmages recently, Doncic got a front-row seat to Kessler's transformation. The 7'2" giant has been quietly working on a new weapon. "Honestly, his three-point shooting surprised me. When I used to play against him, he barely took any threes," Doncic admitted.
"But now, after a few scrimmages together, he's not just willing to let it fly from deep—he's hitting them at a pretty good clip. That's a huge step forward. For a big guy to develop that kind of outside shot? Not easy at all."
With the new season just around the corner, if Doncic—the Lakers' undisputed engine—can build some real chemistry with Kessler, whose outside threat opens up the floor, it could be a serious boost for the Lakers' championship aspirations. Who knows? Maybe this duo is exactly what they've been missing.
