Kentavious Caldwell-Pope returned to the Lakers’ lineup after four games and received high praise from LeBron James and Frank Vogel.
Caldwell-Pope spent 22 minutes on the floor and had seven points (3/9 shooting, 1/4 from beyond the arc), four rebounds, three assists and two steals.
“His speed. The level of acceleration that he plays at automatically ignites our team. We play at a different pace when he’s in the lineup,” James said about Caldwell-Pope.
“His speed and athleticism is invaluable to us and helped us set the tone defensively,” Vogel, the head coach of the Lakers, noted about KCP.
