Although the Lakers lost to the Nets away today, the performance of some players made many Lakers fans happy, and Redick was reassured. Today, Doncic and Reaves were not as good as they could have been, shooting from beyond the arc, but some of the role players off the bench were outstanding, such as Vincent hitting six three-pointers today to score a team-high 24 points, and Goodwin came off the bench to shoot 6-of-8 from beyond the three-point line and scored 17 points and 8 rebounds.
Without the 11 three-pointers of these two players, the Lakers could not have lost by only three points today, and even had a heavy defeat. Today we highlight Goodwin's performance, Goodwin's recent performance has been outstanding, and many fans also believe that the Lakers will almost certainly sign Goodwin to a formal contract next.
If nothing else, the Lakers could make an official announcement of a sign-and-go decision next, where they could cut one of Reddish and Ryan and opt to sign Goodwin to a formal contract that would allow him to play in the playoffs.
Goodwin is sure to be a surprise for the Lakers in the playoffs. Many Lakers fans think Goodwin is a bit like Payton Jr. of the Warriors, and even his shooting feels better. Goodwin is the kind of player who is everywhere on the court, he can go for rebounds, he can go defensively. Any team needs this type of player, and in the playoffs he can play some messy battles and disrupt the rhythm of the opposition. Now Goodwin's effect on the field is very outstanding, so Redick also has a lot of trust in him. If Kneckert is targeted by the opposition because of his defense in the playoffs, they can completely let Goodwin eat Knecket's time.
The next most important thing for Redick is to lock in a rotation of 9~10 people as soon as possible. Among these 9~10 people, go to the run-in as soon as possible to prepare for the playoffs.
