Danny Green remains confident that his jumper will start to fall

The Lakers offense was one of the worst in the bubble and their starting five-man unit from Game 1 of the restart, was rated as the worst five-man line-up in the bubble. A big reason for that has been the play of the Lakers offense, particularly their poor 3-point shooting. And someone who the Lakers count on to make 3-pointers, so much so that they pay him $15 million a year, Danny Green, has struggled to get shots to go. However, being a career 40% 3-point shooter, Green is not worried, according to SB Nation’s Harrison Faigen.

“As a shooter, that happens. We all go through phases and lulls. But the odds are in my favor at this point,” Green said on Zoom after the Lakers’ practice on Saturday. “I’m looking at the positives and the bright side of it. I have not lost any confidence, I’m not hesitating in taking my shots. I feel very comfortable and like I’m starting to get back to my normal self.”

Green shot 25% from the 3-point line in the seven games he played in the bubble. He’s also been shooting 38.8% overall from the field, so he could stand to improve his shooting from everywhere for the Lakers to win in the first round and beyond.
