2. February 1st @ Sacramento Kings

This game came a week before the Warriors game, mentioned on the previous slide. Bradley was very effective on both ends and showed what he could do for this team. When Bradley is on offensively, it helps take this offense to new heights.

On the night he shot 7-of-13 from the field, while also knocking down 5-of-9 from the 3-point line. His 19 points on the night were second only to AD, who had 21. Furthermore, his +21 was second only to LeBron at +33.

His TS% and eFG% were both 73.1 percent. Top that off with his 135 offensive rating and 119 defensive rating, and it was good for a +16 net. The Lakers, as a whole, played a very good game and went into Sacramento and made easy work of their opponent.

The final score was 129-113. Bradley actually led the team in USG% as well at 27.8 percent. One key area that Bradley can help this team is his ability to handle the ball.

The Lakers possess few ball handlers, signing Dion Waiters helps a lot. But when you look at the big picture you need offensive guys handling the ball. The team could look to move away from Rajon Rondo and will need Bradley to slide into a ball-handler more often.
