Kendrick Nunn Rumors

He was surprised to learn that Kendrick Nunn had decided to continue his career in Europe, but ultimately wasn’t shocked by the decision itself. “Actually, I didn’t know that he was continuing his career in Europe, so that’s news to me. So I guess I’m surprised—but not surprised in the sense that if you love basketball, you’re going to show up wherever they ask you to show up. If you can still provide for yourself and your family and enjoy a good life, why not? If you’re a younger guy and not yet settled with kids in school and all that, I think you’re going to see more and more guys start to do it.”

We have to make it happen, it's possible, I know everyone loves me here. We'll see what happens, I'm very happy for Lessort and Hernangomez, they deserve it, they earned it. As long as they are in the locker room, Panathinaikos will be a great team."

Jovan Buha: The Lakers have a frontcourt issue and I think it's gotten to the point where it should be of greater priority for them depending on what happens with Jaxson Hayes in his timetable. He did arrive to the game last night in a walking boot though he did tell ESPN that he is optimistic as to being on the shorter end of that one-to-two week timetable. At the same time with the Christian Wood news and the continued non- updates with Jarred Vanderbilt in just the recent history with Gabe Vincent, Kendrick Nunn, etc. I'm a bit skeptical of Jaxson Hayes potentially coming back sooner than later.

In an interview with Swish Cultures, Nunn talked about which shots are easier for him to get in Europe compared to the NBA and vice versa. "It's a little bit easier to get it in transition in the NBA just because the pace is a lot faster, the floor is much [more] open. The help isn't there necessarily," Nunn said. "It's easier to help in Europe with the smaller court, no defensive three seconds, things like that. "I think here in Europe, it's much harder to get open looks. That pass-and-kick, draw-and-kick, there's much less of that here. For defenders, the closeout is much shorter to that three-point line."
