Kennard, a married father (wife Anna, son Porter), built his career on one elite, repeatable skill: shooting. A high-school legend in Ohio, he refined a picture-perfect stroke at Duke and turned it into a decade-long NBA niche as a specialist whose gravity bends defenses.
His identity is efficiency — one of the best three-point and free-throw shooters of his era. On a Lakers team full of shot creators, his role is clean: relocate, catch, and fire, providing the spacing that opens the floor for Doncic, LeBron, and Reaves.
A pure, elite marksman — one of the best three-point shooters in NBA history.
