Wesley Matthews explained the reason behind his offensive improvement for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Matthews said feeling comfortable defensively has helped him unlock his potential offensively.
“I’m just getting more comfortable. I think, for me, it’s going to be an ongoing thing. It’s a new situation and you guys have heard the story: a shortened season and a shortened offseason.
But, for me, it all starts on the defensive end. My comfort comes from the defensive end and that’s what engages me and kind of unlocks my full game.
I’m getting more and more comfortable in our defensive schemes and finding my spots on the offensive end. Obviously, LeBron helps everything, AD helps everything, but we have a bunch of guys that can create and I’m finding the opens spots and knocking them down,” Matthews said, via Christian Rivas of Silver Screen and Roll.
