A post shared by G League TV (@gleaguetv)

The American basketball pro has consistently made the headlines because of his pin-point accuracy while shooting. According to G League Tv, the 26-year-old basketball star is currently putting up 17.5 points on 42.6% of 3-pointers (7.8 attempts) this month itself. However, Cannady has proved he isn’t a ‘one-season wonder’. Throughout the last four seasons, the American basketball pro has never shot under 91.4% free throws.

Quite a few fans are also suggesting the Lakers finally add the G-League star to their NBA roster. The fans indicated that LeBron James could definitely use Cannady’s help in the shooting department. The Lakers went down against the Kings and Cannady could be a good addition to their roster in the games ahead. Cannady could make an insane impact off the bench. The G-League star could create havoc if he’s subbed in for ten minutes spells just to shoot 3 pointers.

LeBron James would surely not mind some more help in the shooting department. It’s just those consistent basic offensive and defensive mistakes that have let his team down this season.

Lakers’ silly errors let them down yet again!

The Lakers shockingly lost their game against Sacramento Kings by the closest of margins. The final score of the game was Lakers 111 – 116 Kings. However, LeBron James and the Lakers just kept playing catch-up most of the time. LeBron James led by example and turned in a performance of the highest level. But the problem was that only LeBron James had a good game alone with 32 points. Russell Westbrook has the next-best score in the team, but it’s a straight drop down to 19 points.
