Adou Thiero Shows Early Preseason Growth in Decision-Making

Through two preseason games, Los Angeles Lakers forward Adou Thiero has shot 4-of-5 inside the arc and dished out four assists in a win over Sacramento. Head coach JJ Redick noted significant improvement in Thiero's patience and decision-making on drives, avoiding reckless plays by playing off two feet in traffic. Thiero attributes his growth to sustained health and consistent reps in practice, aiming to secure regular rotation minutes ahead of Thursday's game.
